Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 216 Night Attack on Bianliang City

Everyone was excited for a long time and could not control themselves.

After arriving, Earl Ying ordered people to clean up all the dummies in the side hall and take a good inventory of the specific number.

Everyone swarmed up and pulled down all the dummies in the side hall. It took nearly an hour to count all the dummies.

Count Ying was very pleased with the specific number of dummies, a total of [-].

Adding these 75 to the previous 80, the number of leather dummies and linen dummies finally reached nearly [-].

In this way, Earl Ying's heart gradually fell to the ground. This problem had been bothering him in the first place, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Now that this difficult problem was solved, Earl Ying was naturally overjoyed.

In the evening of that day, Count Ying ordered all the 80 dummies in the workshop to be placed in the formation, and they were placed together with the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in an irregular manner.

The leather dummies, linen dummies and Song Dynasty soldiers are integrated into one. Looking from a distance, it is impossible to tell which ones are the dummies and which ones are real people.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who were less than 20, really looked like a million-strong army because of the filling of these fake people.

The matter has now come to an end, and Count Ying can finally deliver a message to Emperor Huizong.

Emperor Huizong was extremely happy when he learned that Count Ying had completed the huge project of making dummies.

Tell Earl Ying that Earl Ying has completed this task very well, and Earl Ying will be rewarded in the future.

However, although the huge project of making dummies has been completed, the monarch and his ministers are still aware of it.

This is simply a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. If these 80 dummies were to fight against the Jin Army and cause the Jin Army to suffer a huge defeat, it would be simply impossible.

So Earl Ying returned to his home from the craftsman's workshop.

When Jin Lian and other women saw that Earl Ying had finally returned, everyone was overjoyed. They all came forward and asked Earl Ying: "Have all the errands been done?"

Earl Ying looked at the women with relief and took them all into his arms.

He said with a smile: "In the end, it was a narrow victory. If we were just a little bit close, I wouldn't be able to deliver your officials to the Holy Lord."

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous. I'm really scared. If there wasn't this final section, it would be over."

Several women listened, and although they did not understand the truth of the matter, when Earl Ying said this, the women understood.

That night, the mansion celebrated the Count's success. Zhao Xiangzhu cooked a table full of delicacies, and almost everyone was drunk.

Earl Ying has been immersed in the project of making dummies for the past few days, and he can finally sleep well tonight.

After eating, Earl Ying returned to his room to rest.

Lying on the bed, slowly closing his eyes, he soon fell asleep.

I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard the rapid sound of gongs and drums outside.

He was obviously so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but the sound outside was too urgent, forcing him to sit up.

Feeling dizzy from sleep, I struggled to look outside and asked, "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two figures running quickly to the window holding lanterns.

He said to him: "Master, something bad has happened, the Jin Army is coming!" As soon as he said this, there was a loud "buzz" in Earl Ying's head, and he immediately woke up.

Quickly shaking Jin Lian awake, the two dressed up as quickly as possible and ran out of the house.

It turned out that the Jin army had already arrived outside Bianliang City in the afternoon. However, because the march was too concealed, and the Song Dynasty's scouts failed to take precautions.

As a result, the Jin army rushed outside Bianliang City, but no one noticed it.

How could the Jin army miss this great opportunity, so they quickly surrounded all the gates of Bianliang City in the middle of the night, ready to fight against Bianliang City at any time.

The people in the court were shocked, and the emperor and his ministers were all panicked. Soldiers from all ministries were quickly dispatched to various city gates to prepare for the battle.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, and it was already midnight, everyone in Bianliang City was asleep.

Therefore, the imperial court sent a large number of soldiers to beat gongs and drums in various streets in Bianliang City to alert the people.

Earl Ying never imagined that the Jin army would come so quickly. Logically speaking, it should take at least another two or three days before arriving at Bianliang City.

As a result, it came so quickly.

Moreover, the Jin army also launched a night attack on Bianliang City, really trying to push the Song Dynasty to death!

Earl Ying was going to sit in the main hall with his family, but thinking about it, it was impossible to sleep again tonight.

Like all the people in Bianliang City, they paid 120 million attention and patiently waited for the result of this war.

But after all, he is an official of the court. Bianliang City is in danger at this time, and he must go to the court to see you.

So, under the leadership of the palace servants, he put on his official uniform as quickly as possible and hurried to the palace.

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court, like Count Ying, were rushing from their homes to the palace.

On the way from home to the palace, Earl Ying saw that the sky and the earth were reflected in lanterns, as if it were evening.

My ears were filled with the sound of gongs and drums to alert the people, there was a lot of noise in Bianliang City, and there were people making noisy noises in the big and small streets everywhere.

It is true that the Song Dynasty court did not do well in this section.

At this critical moment, the Jin Army was given an opportunity, which allowed the Jin Army to attack Bianliang City at night, causing millions of people in Bianliang City to panic.

Along the way, Earl Ying didn't even remember how he got to the palace. When he and Manchao Wenwu stood in the palace, they saw Emperor Huizong swaying and sitting on the dragon throne.

Earl Ying thought to himself that everyone's mood at this time should be similar to his own, and their hearts were already in their throats.

He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Emperor Huizong sitting on the dragon throne.

Immediately, Emperor Huizong rolled up his long sleeves, raised his head, looked at everyone and said: "The Jin army invaded late at night. You are all my loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty. Now is the time for you to protect your family and country." !”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court said loudly: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

The voices of the civil and military officials of the DPRK reverberated loudly in the hall and never stopped for a long time.

Earl Ying's hands were really sweating. He really didn't know what the outcome of this battle would be.

Now, King Kang Zhaogou of Xiangzhou, thousands of miles away, has also learned about the Jin army's night attack on Bianliang City.
