The next day, early in the morning.

Jin Wushu personally led an army of more than 20,000 people, plus 30,000 people, and carried siege equipment to Tianjiazhai.

The two fiascos made him realize that the Shandong thieves were fierce and could not be compared with the Song army, so he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and was ready to go all out and take Tianjiazhai in one go.

What he didn't know was that when the army left the city, it was seen by a pair of hidden eyes.

Da-da-da-da!

A scout galloped to the wall, and reported: "County magistrate, the army of Jin Wushu has left the city, with more than 20,000 troops, 30,000 people, and hundreds of carts of ordnance. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen asked in a deep voice, "How many miles is the Jin Ren spy released?" ”

"Five miles!"

The scout replied.

Han Zhen asked again: "How is the marching formation of the Jin army?" ”

"The march is tight."

"Let's find out and report again."

Han Zhen waved his hand, and then summoned Liu Qi, Yue Fei and others.

Han Zhen said in a deep voice: "The 20,000 Jin army is coming, and the siege equipment is complete, and Tianjiazhai can't hold it. ”

Compared with Rongcheng County, the wall of Tianjiazhai is too fragile, made of loess, only more than four meters high, and the weak point is even less than three meters thick, which cannot stop the repeated bombardment of catapults.

Sitting still has never been Han Zhen's character, he likes to take the initiative in his own hands.

What's more, it would be a waste of the combat power of the cavalry battalion to give up the advantage of the cavalry and dismount to defend the fortress.

Liu Qi is also a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and his eyes lit up and said: "The county magistrate means a halfway volley?" ”

Han Zhen shook his head: "Jin Wushu is not a fool, the marching lineup is tight, and the success rate of the halfway surprise attack is very small. ”

Liu Qi was puzzled: "What does the county magistrate want to do?" ”

"Turn the passive into the active, and repeat the events of yesterday."

To put it simply, Han Zhen planned to use Tianjiazhai as bait, and when the Jin army was halfway through the siege, he would lead the cavalry to raid.

But there are two difficulties with this tactic.

One is how to avoid the detection of the Golden Scouts.

This point is very easy for Han Zhen to solve, and it can be handed over to the scout camp under his command.

As long as the Jin scout is eliminated, the Golden Vulture will become blind.

The second is also the most critical part.

The cavalry chose to raid outside, which meant that there were less than 3,000 troops left behind in the wall, and all of them were Song troops.

These 3,000 people must hold out for at least half an hour in the onslaught of the 20,000 Jin army, and ensure that Tianjiazhai is not lost.

Otherwise, Han Zhen's surprise attack would have become a joke.

Hearing this, Liu Qi hesitated: "Is it too risky?" Once Tianjiazhai is breached, our efforts for yesterday will be in vain. ”

Han Zhen said in a deep voice: "There is no way, the Golden Vulture has all the siege equipment this time, there are hundreds of vehicles, and the walls of Tianjiazhai are low and weak, even if you want to defend it, you are powerless." Moreover, this morning there was a battle report from Han Shizhong's side, and he fought with the main force of the Jin Army yesterday and could not send troops to help. ”

"On the contrary, on our side, we must solve the golden vulture as soon as possible, and escort firearms and field artillery to aid Bazhou."

At this moment, Yue Fei, who had been silent, spoke: "The last general is willing to take on the responsibility of guarding the village!" ”

Han Zhen turned his head and said, "Are you sure?" What is the combat strength of the Song army, you should know it in your heart. ”

"The last general understands!"

Yue Fei replied sonorously.

"Okay, the responsibility of guarding the village will be handed over to you!"

Han Zhen patted him on the shoulder and advised: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." If the village can't be defended, don't be reluctant, the most important thing is to protect yourself. ”

Yue Fei was moved in his heart, and nodded solemnly: "The county magistrate is relieved, I am provincial!" ”

……

After a while, the gate opened.

Han Zhen led 3,000 cavalry to rush out, and soon disappeared at the end of the official road.

At the same time, Yue Fei also gathered more than 2,800 Song troops in the village.

These Song soldiers looked frightened at the moment, they didn't know the tactics formulated by Han Zhen and the others, they only saw the cavalry battalion leaving, thinking that Han Zhen was going to abandon them.

Seeing this, Yue Fei spoke a Hebei dialect and said loudly: "Gather everyone to come, there are two pieces of news to inform you and others." The first news, the 20,000 Jin army is coming towards Tianjiazhai! ”

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, the Song army was in an uproar, and the soldiers looked frightened one by one.

"Silence, silence!"

Yue Fei shouted several times before Song Jun calmed down again.

I saw him put up a second finger and said loudly: "The second news is that there are 30,000 Qingzhou army reinforcements on the way." Now that we have arrived in Qingxian County, we will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest! ”

30,000 Qingzhou troops?

Song Jun was suddenly overjoyed.

The combat strength and bravery of the Qingzhou Army, they have already learned it yesterday.

As soon as the 30,000 Qingzhou army arrives, what will the 20,000 Jin army count.

Thinking of this, these Song soldiers were relieved and smiled.

Then, Yue Fei continued: "The county magistrate Han led the cavalry to leave, intending to ambush the Jin army, and as soon as the 30,000 reinforcements arrived, he would attack back and forth and annihilate the Jin army in one fell swoop. And what we need to do is to defend Tianjiazhai. ”

His words are true or false, the ambush of the Jin army is true, but the 30,000 reinforcements are pure nonsense.

If there really are so many troops, why does Han Zhen need to take risks and directly counterattack Yongqing.

But not to say that, where did these already weak Song troops have the courage to defend the stockade under the onslaught of the 20,000 wolf-like Jin army.

When people are in a desperate situation, when they see hope, they will burst out with great power.

In order to make these Song soldiers believe what they said, Yue Fei deliberately used the Hebei dialect.

The township party is still very trustworthy at this time.

A Song soldier couldn't help but ask, "What do I ...... How long are we going to keep it? ”

"Half an hour!"

Yue Fei said with confidence on his face: "Just hold on for half an hour, and 30,000 reinforcements will arrive!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another Song Bing questioned: "How do we know if it's true?" ”

"That's it!"

This sentence immediately attracted many soldiers to echo it.

Seeing this, Yue Fei said loudly: "I will defend the city with you, if I dare to retreat half a step from the wall, you will cut off my head and run for your life, how about it?" ”

At this moment, the Song soldiers believed seven or eight points in their hearts.

Yue Fei struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile: "Before the county magistrate Han left, he said that after this battle, everyone would give five rewards for beheading, and then four times. At that time, you can take the money and go home to marry a wife and have children, if you don't want to go back to your hometown to farm, you can also join the Qingzhou Army, three meals a day, dry meals at a meal, and 500 Wenlu every month! ”

"Is there really a reward?"

Hearing that there was a reward, Song Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yue Fei patted his chest and promised: "County Magistrate Han is such a hero, a mouthful of spit and a nail, how can he deceive you and wait, did you miss food yesterday?" If you don't have a reward at that time, just come and look for me, and I will make it up for you! ”

"Good!"

"It's all righteous!"

A group of Song soldiers applauded.

They are all bitter, they have been soldiers for a long time, let alone rewards, they have never even seen Yulu, they can only eat with their mouths.

The only time I had a full meal was after Han Zhen came yesterday.

Looking at the Song soldiers with high morale, Yue Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

On the same day, Yue Fei called on the Song soldiers and more than 1,000 people in the village to strengthen the wall and prepare rolling stones, giant trees and gold juice.

This thing of gold juice is simply an artifact of defending the city.

Easy to obtain, low cost, a pot of boiling gold juice poured down, not to die but also to peel off the skin.

……

The army travels, and it can't be fast.

More than 50 miles away, Jin Wushu arrived at Tianjiazhai on the morning of the second day.

When he saw the human head Jingguan under the walled city, Han Chang's eyes were angry and his eyes were about to split.

Those heads are all the sons of his Han Army.

Now, it is built into a Beijing temple, allowing flies and mosquitoes to eat.

A wave of anger also rose in Jin Wushu's heart, and he ordered with a pale face: "The whole army will rest and recuperate, and attack the city in an hour!" ”

Han Chang gritted his teeth and said: "Wanhu, the last general is willing to be a pioneer and avenge my Han'er army!" ”

"Good!"

Jin Wushu replied in a loud voice.

For a time, the Jin army was divided into two groups, one for vigilance and one for rest.

And the people, under the command of the craftsmen who accompanied the army, began to assemble all kinds of siege equipment.

This time, Jin Wushu brought all the siege equipment captured from Yanjing and Yongqing.

Thick bamboo shields, trench bridges, rushing cars, nest cars, slang cars, catapults, and three-bow bed crossbows are not bad.

On the wall, Yue Fei was wearing a black lacquered mountain pattern armor and was mobilizing before the war: "Half an hour! We only need to hold for half an hour, and as soon as reinforcements arrive, the Jin army will be defeated. Don't worry, I'll always be on the wall, and I'll kill the enemy with you! Wansheng! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

A group of Song soldiers shouted in unison.

I have to say that personality charm seems to be a basic skill necessary for every celebrity.

Liu Qi has, Han Shizhong has, Wu Jue and Wu Lan have two brothers, and Yue Fei also has.

In just two or three days, Yue Fei became familiar with this group of Song troops, and successfully replaced Zheng Li and became the backbone of this Song army.

An hour later, the sun hung high.

By noon in late April, it had already begun to get hot.

Jin Wushu sat upright on his horse, his body wrapped in heavy armor, sweat sliding down his cheeks, soaking his inner clothes.

Looking at Tianjiazhai from afar, Jin Wushu said in a loud voice: "Beat the drum, attack the city!" ”

Knock knock!

Heavy drums sounded, as if beating on the hearts of soldiers.

With a wave of Han Chang's hand, the Jin army pushed dozens of carts and immediately advanced towards the wall.

The chariot was a defensive chariot consisting of several large shields that looked like a tent with a pointed roof, under which soldiers could hide and dig through the walls.

Because the city walls at this time are all made of loess, it is remarkable to lay green bricks on the outside, but the inside is still rammed earth.

Behind the carts were groups of soldiers with huge shields, who needed to transport the catapults safely within a hundred paces of the city walls.

Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer, Song Jun on the wall looked nervous.

Zheng Li swallowed his saliva, looked at Yue Fei, and asked, "Dutou, do you want to release arrows?" ”

"No hurry!"

Yue Fei shook his head, there was no sadness or joy on his face.

When the catapult was one hundred and twenty paces away from the city wall, he decisively ordered: "Crossbowmen ready, two inches in elevation, and release arrows!" ”

Swish!

A dense rain of arrows shot out.

The shieldmen of the Jin army immediately erected huge shields, but Rao was like this, and many unlucky people were still shot by crossbow arrows.

The red blood stained the red and yellow earth, and the terrible screams echoed on the battlefield.

This tragic scene frightened the people to stop.

Some people couldn't stand it, so they turned around and ran.

Swish!

A flash of sword flashed, and the huge population of the people flew high.

Shaking off the blood stains on the blade, Han Chang said in a cold tone: "Keep going!" ”
