Wang Qingjun, who had a large army to Bianliang City, did not rashly attack the city, but formed a blockade line with part of his troops, attacking from all sides, attacking the city and pulling out the wall. In addition to the government officials in the cities, the soldiers in the prefectures and counties are pitiful.

Even though the county magistrate called on the people to defend the city, few responded. How can a few hundred men hold back the onslaught of the army? One city after another quickly fell, and secretly officials from Jeju, Shandong Province took office.

The imperial city was in danger, and the Song Dynasty collapsed in an instant.

When the urgent news reached the battlefield of Western Xia, the planter said, and the veteran of the planter had a reaction. The front-line army turned from offensive to defensive, relying on strong fortifications to resist the onslaught of the Western Xia army. The seed master led 100,000 elites back to the rescue.

It's just that the idea is extravagant!

The Chaojia army, which had been stationed on the border of Hedong, moved, and the four divisions of the Longxiang Army and the five divisions of the Flying Bear Army with a total of more than 100,000 cavalry blocked the way like a wave. The cavalry of the brigade on both sides galloped back and forth, ready to charge at any time.

The soldiers of the Chao family army rode their horses and were murderous.

Most of the Song troops were infantry, and they were a little afraid when they looked at the iron cavalry. As long as people who are not stupid in their brains understand what will happen when they meet in the wild.

There was no tragic fighting between the two sides!

After the situation in the Wa Kingdom stabilized, the flower monk Lu Zhishen who was specially transferred back. Before the master got married, he was the general of the family army, and he was quite respected. In the words of the master, the old man was very kind to him.

I really don't want to encounter it on the battlefield, and I also want to pull a hand and expand my territory.

Master Lu and all the officers of the Western Army came out of battle.

Dozens or hundreds of lobbyists met with this little breed of economist on the battlefield. Zong Ze, the former Dengzhou general judge, as the chief representative, was also in the team.

The Wa Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom were destroyed one after another, and in the future, they will also go on a northern expedition to regain lost territory. Dali, Tubo and other small countries in Southeast Asia are also within the scope of conquest.

The great achievements of overseas expansion and the future strategic goals of the Chao Jiajun. The veteran breeders who have guarded the border for most of their lives were stunned. Suddenly woke up to the fact that it was the Chao family army who ran to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to make a big purchase, no wonder millions of people poured into Jeju but could digest it.

It turned out to be an immigration overseas and a real frontier for integration into a foreign land.

To be honest, this is still very attractive to veterans, but as a famous general family of the Northern Song Dynasty, how can they be moved by words to surrender?

But when he learned how many Chao Jiajun there were, his face changed greatly. Then look at the cavalry all over the mountains, and then look at your own infantry, with a helpless face.

On the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial army, which was originally full of morale and fought fiercely with the Jiangnan army, received an emergency edict from Bianliang City, which made everyone's face change greatly. The first thing is to gather the team and prepare to evacuate and rescue the imperial city.

The news was not so fast, Jiang Nanla didn't know what was going on, thinking that the other party had a conspiracy. Naturally, they will not let the other party succeed and attack wildly. Nearly 300,000 troops were entangled and could not get out for a while.

Wang Yu took the initiative to lead the headquarters to break off, and entangled with the other party while fighting. Retreat all the way to Runzhou City, hold the strategic road to block the enemy.

Zhao Tan and Cao De led more than 100,000 troops to rush to help.

It's just that due to the long distance, the march is hurried all the way, even if there is a place to rest and resupply along the way, it is very tired. When he arrived near Jinling City and was about to cross the river, he noticed that the flag of the Song army on the head of the city had been replaced by the Chao flag.

The two knew that the 5,000 defenders were finished, and they also knew that there was fraud, and it was too late to lead the army to retreat. Dense warships charged down from upstream.

On land, too, large groups of cavalry and infantry came from all directions. It is Zhong Xiang who is preparing for the whole army, and the Dongting Lake Water Army led by Yang Mi. The other is the Tiger Army that was transferred to occupy Jinling City overnight.

A total of more than 100,000 troops.

The Song army was busy crossing the river, suddenly encountering an attack, and under the blow of both land and water, it fled in disarray. Zhao Tan and Cao De gathered the remnants of the army and lost 20,000 or 30,000 people. This made the hearts of the two generals sink and have a bad premonition!

How do you cross the river to help Bianliang City?

The retreating teams on the two battlefields were stopped, and Bianliang City was isolated.

After the "Wang Qing Army" captured Yingtianfu and other places, it almost surrounded Bianliang City with the Chao family army in the east and west. No supplies, no reinforcements arrived.

The murderous army surrounded the city and tried to attack the city.

The imperial city of the capital of a dynasty is indeed not small, and forty or fifty thousand forbidden troops sound a lot. There are only 10,000 people guarding the four walls, 500 people at each gate, and 6,000 people at the 12 gates.

At this time, whether it was Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang and other generals who defended the city, or Song Huizong and many traitorous ministers, some complained about why so many city gates were opened?

Why was the city built so big?

In order to defend the city, the officials in Kaifeng Mansion and the guards of the ministers' mansions were all requisitioned. A total of 20,000 or 30,000 men, all of them assisted in the defense. Assigned to four sections of the city wall, thousands more people, there are no vacancies.

Outside the city, the army attacked the catapult, and the bed crossbow and other equipment were in place to launch the siege. Although it was only an attempt, it was very violent, and the casualties on the three walls reached 2,000, but the casualties on the besieging side were less than 1,000.

There is a problem with the enemy's long-range firepower! Zhou Ang and several generals found clues. The enemy stood under the city and fired at a long range, and most of the casualties of the defenders came from this. Catapults, bed crossbows with a longer range, were the first to destroy the ramparts.

In the following two days, the offensive outside the city became more and more ferocious, and everyone was not afraid of death, and the casualties of the defenders of the city wall increased sharply. In three days, more than 15,000 casualties were lost. On several occasions the enemy army rushed to the top of the city, and it was almost lost.

There is indeed a shortage of manpower!

As a last resort, I had to send those newly recruited soldiers to the head of the city to defend the city. It's okay not to make this decision, and once you reach it, it's like killing yourself.

As mentioned earlier, the imperial court recruited troops in the city, and spies signed up for military training.

Those guys are the scout soldiers of the Chao Family Army.

Let these guys climb the city walls to defend the city, and the results can be imagined. Han Shizhong, the general who led the army to attack the city outside the city, noticed that there were many more people in the city, and decisively Mingjin collected his troops to rest and put on a posture of fighting again tomorrow.

Actually, he's waiting for an opportunity!

At the end of August, two pieces of bad news swept through the Great Song Dynasty and also spread to Bianliang City.

On the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, Wang Yu's troops held on to Runzhou City and fought to the death with the Jiangnan army. Zhao Tan and Cao De led the army back to help but were intercepted by the Chao family army, and repeatedly forcibly crossed the river without heavy losses, and had to return to the battlefield to flank the Jiangnan army, which made the Wu army suffer from the enemy and was defeated.

The imperial army pursued and killed for a while, and collected 30,000 Jiangnan routs, and the army returned to rescue again, at least for half a month, and more than a month to arrive at Bianliang City.

On the battlefield of Western Xia, the 100,000 elites who went to support Bianliang City were ambushed by the Western Xia army on the way and suffered heavy losses. On the border battlefield, the imperial army was in danger of being attacked by the Western Xia army due to the withdrawal of troops.

Henan Hebei Jiedu made Wang Huan, Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu made Xu Jing and several other Jiedu envoys killed, at the critical moment, Chaojia army 100,000 iron cavalry into the battlefield, defeated the Western Xia army, and then turned back to besiege the Western Army.

Except for the fact that the defeat of the Western Xia army was real, the rest were fake. These old generals learned that the Chao family army was unstoppable, and when they saw that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was unconscious and the traitorous ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they also chose to lead the army to stand in line for the sake of their families.

In any case, there were no reinforcements from the imperial court for a short time.

Bianliang City is in danger! Song Huizong Zhao Ji had a scruffy beard and a decadent face. After learning the news, he smiled bitterly and closed his eyes painfully.

He knew that this time there was a lot of bad luck, and the imperial city was estimated to be breached. I never dreamed that there would be this day, and the good Song Dynasty would become like this.

He couldn't figure it out, or he didn't want to admit it!

After a fierce siege, the recruits on the walls were glad they were still alive. I was very tired after a day and slept very deeply at night.

But in the middle of the night, thousands of recruits quietly opened their eyes and quietly came to the city gate. Torches were waved in the city, and the gates slowly opened.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves resounded through the night, waking the defenders on the city walls. Seeing the overwhelming cavalry slaughtering in the night, when someone noticed that the city gate was opened, it was too late to stop it.

A tidal wave of cavalry poured into the city.

Several zhang high, twelve city gate holes, the imperial city known as unparalleled defense was breached.

The court panicked.

The civil and military forces and the princes and nobles fled into the palace in embarrassment. Including Song Huizong and Zhao Ji, they were as anxious as a lost dog, and they called it all over.

Zhiduoxing Wu Yong returned to this sad place, and the first thing he did was to make a list of the people, strictly order the army to prohibit looting, and guard important places such as granaries and treasury. And sent a law enforcement team to crack down on lawbreakers.

Han Shizhong led the army to surround the palace, only melancholy, not surprised. After all, it is the third time to surround a country's palace.

There was no siege, only persuasion.

Wang Yu, Zhao Tan, and Cao De, who were preparing to lead the army halfway, were a little desperate. It will be more than ten days before I rush back, what's the use of rushing back now?

Just when the three were in confusion, the Chao family army spies found them. Soon after, the three generals led a large army to turn back and pounce on the Wu army.

When Emperor Wang Qing of Chu heard the news, he laughed and applauded loudly, and rushed to Bianliang City overnight. In high spirits, he returned to Bianliang City as a king. Hurried to the palace, gave the order to attack and shouted surrender.

If you don't come out to pay the certificate of surrender, you will be killed!

And Wang Qing's Praetorian Guards were led by Duan Wu, Qiu Xiang and others, everyone stood and sat without sitting, wearing hats crookedly and staring at each other, full of gangsterism.

After entering the city, it is robbery, and most of these guys are old thieves. Picking on the homes of those powerful people and looting money is extremely sophisticated.

As long as they don't infringe on the people, as long as they don't kill innocents indiscriminately.

The law enforcement team dispatched by Wu Yong will basically not stop it, but will only stand by and watch. Looking at this group of bandits more than soldiers, there was disdain in his eyes.

Similar to this kind of house-raiding work, these people have to do it.

The Song Dynasty was so rich that mountains of gold and silver were buried in their own storehouses or cellars, and the amount was incalculable. It caused the soldiers who participated in the raid to scream and be greedy.

The Song Dynasty is worthy of being an era of high prosperity in China's history. At that time, the GDP accounted for about 80% of the world's GDP, and two of the four great inventions were born in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to historical records, the annual fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty reached 160 million yuan. Now that's 160,000,000,000 taels of silver. Far more than the Tang Dynasty, but also the Ming and Qing dynasties.

With such a strong background, Chao Gai had to survive until now and slowly collapse!
