Chapter Seventy-Four: The City Breaks

In the cold winter of 1126, it was night, and the city wall of Chenliu was already dilapidated, and the soldiers who had been tired for a day were already lying in the corners of the wall, and occasionally walked by groups of patrolling soldiers.

Seed Master Dao also took personal guards, holding torches, patrolling the city defense on the city wall, Seed Master Dao had a bandage wrapped around his arm, and blood seeped out, that was the situation at noon, Seed Master Dao personally led the troops to intercept and kill the Jin army left in the city, I have to say that when the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty used to fight against the Western Xia, it could also be regarded as a strong army of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Seed Master Dao knew that his Western Army and the current Jin Army, the gap in combat power was not a little bit, and those who came out of the white mountains and black water were almost the same as beasts, not only fearless of death, but also infinitely powerful.

At this moment, the cold wind on the city wall was cold, the moon and stars were scarce, Li Gang and Zong Ze also brought a group of officials and local gentry to replenish their physical strength.

"Brother Bo Ji, tomorrow's battle, I'm afraid it's Xuan, this Bianjing City, lost in vain, the Jin people are already fierce, and they have been accumulated in the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and it has become a big disaster in the world, after this battle, I'm afraid that it is the emperor of the Jin people, Wu Qimai has the heart to win the world, my Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and my Han people are in danger." Zong Ze sat at the head of the city, looking at these soldiers who came to receive food, as well as the golden camp in the distance, dotted with stars, and sighed at Li Gang, Bo Ji is Li Gang's word.

"Brother Rulin, my Great Song Dynasty avoided the goods of the Han and Tang dynasties with the strategy of literature and martial arts, and ruled the world with scholars, so that there was this hundred years of prosperity, and the prosperity of Bianjing was the most in history. But in this world, it seems that it is not possible to do without force, and everything can be armed. I'm afraid we won't see this day, but as long as the descendants of the Zhao family are still there, and work hard, maybe there will be a day when the mountains and rivers will recover. Li Gang also seems to be a little pessimistic about defending the city, and there is not much time left for everyone.

"General, this official begs you, once the Jin army comes to attack tomorrow, please escort Zhao Ziyan to break out of the city, cross the river, and go to Jiangnan. Leave us a troop, and Brother Bo Ji and I will stay in the first gear. Zong Ze saw the seed master coming, so he stepped forward.

"Brother Rulin, that little brother Bai Yan once said that he would move in to rescue the soldiers after sixteen years, do we hold on a little longer, maybe there will be a miracle." Li Gang still hesitated.

Before Zong Ze could speak, the kind of master waved his hand and said: "Master Li, the elite of the 30,000 Western Army in the city is also trained all the way with the Western Xia, although it is not a strong army in the world, but in this Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no stronger than my Western Army." Today's battle situation you have also seen, it is not that our western army is afraid of war and death, the bitter cold land of the Jin people, fighting with fierce beasts, and the muscles and bones that are boiled out are indeed very different from the soldiers raised by my Great Song Dynasty rice. It was the little brother Bai Yan who brought reinforcements, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket, this Chen Liu, when it comes to tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it. ”

"In this case, I will leave everything to the general." When Li Gang heard this, he had to sigh.

"I can't do anything tomorrow, please also ask the two adults to break through with the last general, and the last general and the cavalry Wu Qian, you should be able to protect you well." The planter was not polite, so he said bluntly.

Li Gang and Zong Ze looked at each other and smiled, and Li Gang said: "The Great Song Dynasty has been a hundred years old, and it is not all Cai Jing, Wang Hao and the like. If Master Zong and I are not on this city wall, I am afraid that in an instant, the soldiers and people of this city will be in chaos. If the overthrow is imminent today, preserving the bloodline of the Zhao family is more important than the life and death of me and Master Zong, and everything is up to the generals. ”

After Li Gang finished speaking, he gave a deep salute to the Seed Master Dao, and as the squire of Li Gang's military department, although the Seed Master Dao was a veteran, he didn't dare to accept it, so he quickly turned sideways to avoid it.

That Zong Ze seemed to still have some thoughts, and muttered to himself: "This one who went to Jiangnan, there is also a Nine Princes, if there is a dispute for the heir in the future, I am afraid that it will be the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

In the early morning of the next day, on the horizon, when the first rays of sunlight had just risen, the horn of attack sounded in the camp of the Jin army, and the Jin army was afraid that it would not leave any time for the Song army.

The Song army on the city wall hurriedly dressed neatly, lined up at the head of the city, and when they saw the Jin army rushing over like a surging tide, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Overnight, I don't know where the Jin army got countless columbs, dense columbs, there are a lot of Jin shooters, the cocoons have a height of seven or eight meters, there are wheels below to push and run, and the height of the cocoons can be almost equal to the city wall, and the archers above can cause great damage to the Song army on the city wall.

In addition to the car, more ladders have been built, countless enemy troops are running with ladders, and at the same time, the enemy army has also launched a super huge crash car, which is used to attack the city gate, looking at the thick cowhide covered on the crash car, and the crash car that requires hundreds of people to push, it is estimated that to the city gate, whether the city gate can withstand the test of the city wall, is also a big problem.

The offensive and defensive battles soon entered a white heat, the killing sound on the city wall shook the sky, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers were constantly thrown off the city wall, but the casualties of the Song army were also very large, wave after wave of reserve troops, were sent to the city wall, and the reserve troops under the city wall were becoming less and less.

"You can't wait any longer, general, the current enemy army in Beicheng is acceptable, please make a decision immediately and lead the king of the county to break through." Li Gang was in the county hall in the city, and said urgently to the already assembled planter.

"In this world, there will be nowhere to go one day, and I don't know if I can see the strong army of the Great Song Dynasty and compete with the Jin people one day. Lord Li, the last general is leaving, take care. "The heart of the planting master road is like a knife at the moment, from the county government can even hear the sound of fighting on the city wall in the distance, and at the same time, there is a herald to order the small soldiers to come over to report the general's casualties, the casualties of the western army, has been more than half, but even has not seen the main force of the Jin people, these soldiers of the western army, are all brought from the northwest all the way, just like their own sons and nephews, now the fate of the field, woo hoo helpless.

"Generals, two adults, the soldiers are fighting on the front line, how can we abandon the soldiers and the people to live, this king is willing to live and die with the soldiers." Zhao Ziyan was put on horseback, but he was screaming endlessly.

"Confused, if today, the overthrow is imminent, Master Li and I are civil officials, and we have the responsibility to defend the land. But you are a royal family, and it is the responsibility of the prince of the county to carry the banner of the descendants of the Zhao family. Zong Ze took two steps forward and scolded Zhao Ziyan.

Zhao Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and when he learned that the two adults were going to stay and break off, he jumped off the horse, clasped his hands around his chest, bowed deeply, and then raised his head with tears in his eyes and said: "Xiao Wang swears here, if he can break through, he will work hard, prepare his troops and prepare for horses, and for the rest of his life, he should recover the mountains and rivers and recover the land of his ancestors. ”

Li Gang and Zong Ze were also very pleased, but they couldn't help urging Zhao Ziyan to hurry up and get on the horse, so that the Seed Master Dao was ready to break through.

At this moment, suddenly there was a loud noise outside the city gate, and at the same time, a herald soldier came over in a panic and said: "General, it's not good, the city gate is broken, and the Jin army is about to come in." ”
