When Han Funu returned to Jincheng, Yelu Yujian had already withdrawn his troops from Datong Mansion, and Zhao Gongjian, Liu Ruxin, Liu Junfu and other parts guarded Shuozhou and Wuzhou.

Han Funu's tone was respectful: "Chief Manager Yang, the king of my family is also helpless, and I hope that the Northern Army will be able to support Shuozhou at the appropriate time; ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Han Funu, Yelu Yu has seen that if these three people surrender to the Jin Kingdom, he will lose three or four thousand men and horses in vain." Anyway, you monarchs and ministers are not dead until the heart of the Yellow River, so you stay in the post house and take a good look at the results. ”

In just two days, Zhao Gongjian and others surrendered to the Jin army, Zhao Gongjian led the Shuozhou Jiedu envoy, Liu Ruxin led the Wuzhou Jiedu envoy, and Liu Junfu led the Yunzhong Jiedu envoy; Wanyan Gao ordered Zhao Gongjian's three troops to harass Huanzhou, Wanyan Xiyin harassed Ulzhou, Wanyan Zongpan attacked Zhuozhou, and he led an army of 40,000 to kill Benyingzhou. Datong Mansion has been fighting several times, the people have fled, and now it is almost a military state, Wanyan Gao has no intention of leaving the army to garrison, and he has everything to capture Jincheng, and he can't hold Jincheng Datong.

Wan Yan Gao came prepared this time, not only expelling more than 20,000 people from Guihua Prefecture and Datong counties to do labor, but also transporting more than 1,000 catapults for siege and 200 giant siege vehicles that could accommodate 80 people; in order to prevent the cavalry attack of the Dingbei Army along the way, Wan Yan Gao ordered Wan Yan Zongjun and Wan Yan Huan to lead 10,000 cavalry to protect them. In addition, Wendy Trace Ali and Naheblun were the vanguard, and Yelutam and Asha Wuye were the marching staff officers.

Yang Zhi waited for the 10,000 brave soldiers brought by Yang Jin and Ma Qin, knowing that he was only 20,000 people, and the gap between the two sides' forces was too great, so he sent someone to send a letter to Zong Ze, telling Zong Ze that he didn't need to come to support, and then began to prepare for city defense. From Yang Zhi's point of view, he is not worried about Jincheng being broken, what he is worried about is that Zhao Kai sent troops to the north to help, and was broken by Wanyan Gao's strong cavalry one by one, which would affect the morale of Jincheng and Taiyuan.

Yang Zhi poisoned all the wells outside the city, and then arranged for Shan Tinggui to lead a group of masters such as Zong Wei and Shi Qian to hide outside the city, Yang Zhi told Shan Tinggui not to poison at first this time, and when the Jin army arrived, he would find an opportunity to poison the water source and straw after two days of siege. Yang Zhi explained the plan to the three of them very carefully, since the Jin army brought a large number of people, it would definitely drive the people to attack the city, but it was also convenient for Shan Tinggui and others to mix into the Jin camp.

The vanguard of the Jin army, Wendy and Ali, drove all the way in, and Zhang San did not resist in Shenwu Town, and directly abandoned the city and retreated according to Yang Zhi's orders, so that the Jin army could directly kill under the city of Jincheng. Wendy Trace Ali and Nahe Duen are both battle-hardened generals, who once fought with Xiao Gan's army of 7,000 for a day with 500 men, and knew that there were no vain soldiers under the fame;

However, the bed crossbow facing the head of the city, and the divine arm bow arranged in two rows in the city gate, were shot dead in less than half an hour, and the dead bodies of the golden soldiers and war horses blocked the road, and had to retreat ten miles to set up a village. After Yan Gao arrived with an army of 20,000, he heard the battle situation and stroked his hand and said: "I don't blame you for this matter, Yang Zhi is too bold, if it were me, I wouldn't help but give it a try." ”

Yang Zhi successively sent Han Tao's chain armored horses and Zhang San's heavy cavalry to engage the Jin army, although they killed 16,700 people on the other side, they also lost the heavy armored soldiers who came forward; it can be seen that Wan Yan Gao was fully prepared, that is, he relied on the large number of people and the heavy armored soldiers to fight to the death, so Yang Zhi closed the door and did not fight.

Wanyan Gaokong had cavalry, and he could only toss outside the city, so that the Jin cavalry would attack the fortresses around Jincheng, but he didn't expect the Dingbei army to withdraw, and the Jin army carelessly ambushed in Anbian Town, and was killed and burned to death by thousands of people at once. Wan Yan Gao could only endure it, and the death of 4,000 cavalry in three days was also a big loss, and he could not be tossed casually; on the sixth day, Wan Yan Zongjun and Wan Yan Huan arrived, rested for a day, loaded the catapult, and Wan Yan Gao immediately ordered the siege of the city.

As soon as the sky was bright, the morning star was still hanging in the sky, and the war drums sounded outside the city, and the Jin army was recuperating and recharged, and when it came up, it was violent, and countless boulders were thrown to the city wall through a thousand catapults, and a hundred siege vehicles were pushed to the city wall; the city wall was swaying in the whistling sound, although only two or three percent of the stones could be thrown onto the city wall, Zhang San and Yang Jin still ordered the soldiers to dodge backwards first, and erected long shields wrapped in cowhide in the corner towers and other positions, and the archers hiding in the bunkers immediately began to shoot arrows.

What stunned the Jin army was that the Dingbei army was at ease in the face of the siege vehicles, first attacked with rockets from a long distance, and let the wooden siege vehicles burn up; when they got closer, one by one the infantry soldiers wearing heavy armor rushed to the side of the city wall and threw the incendiary canisters made of grease at the siege vehicles, and they did not know what kind of grease they could not extinguish once the siege vehicles caught fire, and in the blink of an eye, the whole car was burned, and the Jin soldiers on it could only jump out of the car and flee for their lives.

Wan Yan Gao could only order the whole army to attack, once all the siege vehicles were destroyed, it would be more difficult to launch any big attack; in addition to the siege vehicles of the Jin army, even the ladders made in the past few days were also used; at this time, Wan Yan Gao was eager to slap himself, and all the stones thrown by the catapults on the city were smashed on the ladders by the Dingbei army. The two sides have begun to ignore the losses, that is, to see who has the most people, and in the afternoon, Wan Yangao ordered to give the common people the same weapons, forcing them to participate in the siege in front of them, and consume the opponent's manpower and weapons.

Zhang San saw the flag, Chen Da ran up to the city tower with a hundred firearms soldiers, taking advantage of the opportunity of the reduction of bows and arrows and flying stones, and threw down thirty thunderbolts in one breath; thirty ladders and siege vehicles were blown to pieces, and the five or six thousand people crowded under the city wall immediately scattered and fled, and suddenly impulsively attacked the Jin army's position. ”。

The crossbowmen of the Jin army immediately began to shoot arrows at the people who ran back, and many of the people were desperate to find the Jin army around them, and by the time the Jin army stopped the chaos, there was already a river of blood under the city wall. Yelutan dissuaded: "Marshal, let's stop here today, the morale of the three armies has been drained, and it is difficult to fight again, so it is better to fight again tomorrow." ”

Wan Yan Gao said bitterly: "No wonder Zhongshan and Hejian fought for half a year and withdrew their troops. ”
