Bianjing City is the largest city in this era, with a capacity of one million people!

When I saw a super city like Bianjing for the first time, even Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but feel shocked.

However, although Bianjing is large, its city wall is not much taller than the wall of Yanjing City, and the Song army has always been cowardly, 100,000 people can't stop thousands of cavalry, Wanyan Zongwang is fully confident that he will go down to Bianjing City in a battle!

It's just that when Wanyan Zongwang was confidently preparing to launch a siege battle, Yue Fei on the city wall kept staring at the Jin army with a blank face and cold eyes.

The Jin army was not only cavalry, but also collected a lot of other armies when they went south, so when the Jin army led by Yan Zongwang came to Bianjing City, their number had reached more than 60,000 people.

For example, the first to attack Bianjing from the West Water Gate was the vanguard of thousands of troops led by the general Guo Yaoshi.

Guo Yaoshi was originally a general of the Liao State,

When the Jin army broke through Yanjing, he was unwilling to surrender Jin, so he surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the Great Song Dynasty beheaded Zhang Jue, who was also a general, and offered his head to the Jin people, which completely angered Guo Yaoshi, who was also a general, so when the Jin army went south to attack the Song Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi directly surrendered to the Jin State with his subordinates.

Although Guo Yaoshi is a general, his subordinates are all the original elite of the Liao army, and their combat effectiveness is not bad, at least they are far superior to the Song Forbidden Army.

Wanyan Zongwang ordered the Jin army to attack from the West Water Gate.

The West Water Gate is a tributary of the Bianhe River that leads directly to the city of Bianjing, which is a waterway, so the attack on the West Water Gate can only be done by boat, and once the West Water Gate is broken, you can take a boat along the waterway to go straight to the city.

The Jin people never took the combat power of the Song army into account, and the Liao people naturally did the same.

There is an example that best illustrates the relationship between the Jin army and the Song army:

"The Three Dynasties and the Northern Alliance" transcribed a battle briefing: Hebei Road soldiers and horses ruled Li Kan with 2,000 soldiers and 17 cavalry battles with the Jin people, and was defeated!

This battle took place in February of the first year of Song Jingkang.

Song Qinzong ceded the land and sued for peace, and the commander of the Jin army outside Bianjing City sent 17 cavalry to escort the peace document back to the Jurchen homeland, passing through Cizhou.

The local garrison of the Northern Song Dynasty did not receive the news of the peace negotiation, and when they saw the lone Jin Dynasty cavalry, they thought that there were few people to be bullied.

So the soldiers and horses ruled over Li Kan, and he took 2,000 forbidden troops and militia out of the city, preaching that they would "cover up" the enemy.

Coming enemy, seventeen horsemen

You read that right, it's seventeen cavalrymen!

Jin Ren said: "There is no need to use soldiers, now that the city has made peace, I was sent to the country by the prince Langjun." ”

Don't believe it, want to fight.

Thus, the seventeen riders were divided into three.

Seven horsemen in front, each divided into five horsemen for the left and right wings and slightly behind.

The first seven horsemen galloped forward, but there were few officers and soldiers, the left and right flanks took advantage of the situation to cover them, and galloped and shot, the officers and soldiers were in chaos, and half of the dead were killed.

These seven Jin soldiers actually used only one charge to disrupt the formation of the Song army; The remaining two teams outflanked and completely defeated the Song army, and the Song army suffered more than half of the casualties!

1：118！

With such a disparity in defeat, I'm afraid it's hard to find a second case in the entire history of China, right?

And the weirdest thing about the whole incident is that there are always only seventeen cavalry members of the Jin Army!

Even if the other side may have heavy cavalry, but seventeen people defeated two thousand people, this kind of thing is too in the eyes of other dynasties.

"Kill!" Guo Yaoshi rushed ahead, standing on the bow of the ship and shouting loudly.

For these treacherous guys of the Song people, he can't wait to use 120% of his strength!

In fact, the literati of the ruling class of the Song people, they can even sell their own people for the sake of temporary peace, you are just a Liao general, isn't it easier and more comfortable to sell?

In addition, Guo Yaoshi first descended to the Great Song Dynasty and then to the Jin Kingdom, and now he has no way out, so he can only fight to the death with the Great Song Dynasty, and strive to make military achievements and prove his value to the Jin people. This can be reused in the Jin country and maintain its own glory and wealth.

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Pharmacist Guo who was working hard to attack the Water Gate, and was still very satisfied with the fighting spirit and attitude he showed at the moment.

If Pharmacist Guo can conquer the Water Gate in one fell swoop and enter the Bianjing City, it will naturally be even better.

West Gate, on the tower of the city.

Yue Fei personally commanded the opening battle.

This battle was not only the first battle to defend Bianjing, but also the first battle he personally commanded since he was exceptionally promoted.

Yue Fei must show the command ability to convince everyone and defend Bianjing, so that he can be worthy of Zhao Ji's trust and himself who is known as the "Soldier Saint" in history!

In the entire Bianjing City, I am afraid that the only one who can really fight is the 30,000 Qinwang soldiers led by Yue Fei. As for the nearly 100,000 forbidden troops in the city, the combat effectiveness is really indescribable.

And although the combat power of these Qinwang soldiers is stronger than that of the forbidden army, it is not much stronger.

What really gave Yue Fei confidence was the five thousand Shenhuo Battalion soldiers who were secretly trained by him.

The soldiers of the Shenhuo Battalion are basically proficient in handling rifles and machine guns, but the artillery side is still a little rusty, after all, their contact with artillery is too short.

At present, the Jin army is only in the vanguard of 6,000 people, and it is still the surrender army of the Liao State, so Yue Fei is not in a hurry.

On the West Water Gate, there are 5,000 Qinwang troops and 6,000 forbidden troops, as long as they fulfill their duties, they are enough to defend the city wall.

When the Jin Army's ships gradually approached the distance of a hundred paces from the West Gate, Yue Fei immediately ordered: "Release the arrows!" ”

Although the arrows shot by the archers of the Song army were a little soft and messy, they were fortunately numerous and dense

Although the Jin soldiers defended with shields or cabins, they still suffered a wave of casualties in the face of the dense arrows fired by the Song army.

When the Jin soldier approached the city wall fifty paces, Yue Fei suddenly ordered again: "Crossbow arrows!" Shoot!!! ”

As soon as Yue Fei's words fell, a thousand crossbowmen armed with huge Qin crossbows suddenly appeared behind the battlements and pulled the trigger on the city! These Qin crossbows were naturally bought from Qin Shi Huang.

"Collapse!"

A crunch!

Thousands of powerful crossbow arrows shot out, and the Jin army under the city wall suddenly heard a burst of screams, and three or four hundred people were killed and injured in an instant!

At all, Guo Yaoshi was not given a chance to breathe, and the archers and crossbowmen of the Song army took turns to fight, and Guo Yaoshi was overturned on his back, and he was in pain.

As a last resort, Pharmacist Guo could only order a retreat, and hastily ended this first tentative attack.

Before this touched the city gate, the vanguard led by Guo Yaoshi had already lost one-third, and the powerful garrison "firepower" of the Song army also made Wanyan Zongwang face up to the opponent.

"These Song troops still seem to have some combat effectiveness." Wanyan Zong looked at Yue Fei on the wall of Bianjing City, and muttered to himself: "The young general who commands the city upstairs is calm and calm, and he has good scheduling. The battle in Bianjing didn't seem to be as easy as I imagined! ”

However, Wanyan Zongwang naturally wouldn't give up easily, but they came in a hurry today and didn't prepare siege equipment.

If the water gate is blocked, you can only wait for a while, and only after the siege equipment is built can you really start attacking in a big way.

After easily repelling the attack of the first wave of Jinren, the Jinren did not move.

Yue Fei didn't dare to slack off, and still let people not simply monitor for twelve hours to ensure that he got the movements of the Jin army as soon as possible.

However, at this critical moment, Li Bangyan and Zhang Bangchang led more than ten meters of famous henchmen to the palace to meet Zhao Ji.
