She Song

Chapter 306 Persuading surrender and going to war

After watching the open-air theatrical performance with laughter and chatting, and after Han Xiaoyao left, the people of Yanjing felt a little calmer. Since the prince is not worried, the Zhenguo Army will definitely defeat the Song and Jin coalition forces!

After seeing so many magical things and enjoying countless benefits, the residents of Yanjing have spontaneously formed a cult: King Zhenbei is omnipotent!

Two days later, [-] cavalry troops from the imperial court came to the city, and the four gates of Yanjing were closed and the whole city was under martial law.

The vanguard of the Forbidden Army was afraid of the city's anti-artillery and did not launch an attack. Anyway, the main force of the Zhenguo Army had been restrained by the Jurchens in the east, and the First Division of Yundi was held back by the Western Army. Yanjing was already an isolated city, so it was safe to occupy key points outside the city for isolation. transportation.

On the fifth day, Zhao Kai led 15 Chinese troops to slowly arrive, forming a siege from three sides, east, west, and south. It was another typical siege of three without one.

Such a huge camp spread over the mountains and plains, and the illustrious army was as angry as a tiger, but Yanjing remained unmoved.

On the sixth day, in order to demonstrate the "benevolence" of the imperial court, Zhao Kai sent Qin Huizhi as an imperial envoy to enter Yanjing to persuade him to surrender.

In Tingyu Garden, Qin Huizhi not only met Han Xiaoyao, but also met Emperor Maode.

"The lower officials have met the King of Zhenbei, and the ministers have met His Highness Maode!" Qin Huizhi was not arrogant at all, and greeted him politely.

"Brother Hui, you and I have known each other for a long time, you're welcome!" Han Xiaoyao waited for the other party to sit down and said with a smile: "I wonder what you are doing entering Yanjing at this time?"

Qin Huizhi looked at Maode, then smiled and said: "I am here to persuade the prince to return to Tokyo, so that he can ensure his wealth and peace for the rest of his life... Although he cannot sit on one side, the situation is pressing, why not take a step back to open up the world?"

Han Xiaoyao smiled and turned to ask Maode: "What does the princess mean?"

Zhao Fujin had a smile on his face, MMP in his heart, and almost scolded all the civil and military officials above the court.

"Imperial envoy, right? I would like to ask, what are the crimes of Zhenbei Palace, Zhenguo Army and Yanyun Land? Do they need to unite with foreign armies to suppress, burn, kill and loot?"

Qin Huizhi was stunned for a moment. The old saying that girls are extroverted seems to be true.

You, Zhao Fujin, are the most favored concubine of the official family. You just agree with her without saying anything. Why are you speaking for the rebellious ministers and traitors?Could it be that he was held hostage and forced by Han Xiaoyao and did not mean what he said?
"The king of Zhenbei won the title unfairly, and the Zhenguo army did not obey orders, which is tantamount to rebellion. There are countless other lawless things... The country has its own laws and regulations, which is the benevolence and righteousness of the officials. Therefore, we sent the ministers to the city to discuss a decent outcome." After all, we are all one family, so please be considerate of me, Your Majesty and Your Highness!"

Zhao Fujin glared at Qin Huizhi and scolded: "If the generals in the army are reckless, why are you civil servants confused? You should leave the city immediately, withdraw your troops immediately, and let the court punish the perpetrators of the war and compensate for all losses, otherwise Even gods can’t save you!”

Qin Huizhi frowned. Emperor Maode seemed to have something in her words, but what about the current situation of the imperial army? How could the imperial court withdraw its troops?

"I don't want to see His Highness feel wronged, but the arrow is on the string and must be fired. If the prince does not agree before noon, the imperial army will launch an attack on the city. By then, Yanjing will surely be destroyed. Please consider the people and let go of your obsession!" "

Han Xiaoyao asked: "So, there is no more talk?"

Qin Huizhi sighed and shook his head.

Han Xiaoyao looked at Maode again, and Zhao Fujin actually sighed. Since the court and his father were stubborn, they could only solve the problem by force.

She finally nodded.

In front of Qin Huizhi, Han Xiaoyao summoned Jiang Queer, Yuan Erlang and Yue Fei. Looking at the three young generals, Han Xiaoyao asked: "Are you all ready?"

The three of them nodded at the same time, and replied: "Everything is ready, please give orders!"

Han Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Then execute according to the planned battle plan!"

After saluting the military salute, the three of them immediately retreated. Qin Huizhi suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "My lord, what are you doing?" Han Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Isn't it true that a friend is coming from afar?" If my brother is not busy, please come with me!"

Qin Hui asked subconsciously: "Where to go?"

"Not far." Han Xiaoyao seemed to be deliberately keeping it a secret, smiling as he went out and got into the carriage.

Qin Huizhi had no choice but to follow the other party to the South Gate Tower.

When the two of them boarded the gate tower, the city gate opened. Jiang Queer led 600 guards through the door opening and across the suspension bridge in an orderly manner, and then spread out a queue of [-] people in front of the Forbidden Army, a total of five rows.

Yuan Erlang then led two thousand cavalry to set up defenses on the left and right sides of the guards. Yue Fei led five hundred artillerymen to build a position at the rear. When the army was in full order, the Imperial Army on the opposite side also discovered that the defenders had left the city and immediately reported it to Zhao Kai. At the same time, tens of thousands Troops surrounded him from all sides.

Zhao Kai almost choked when he heard the report and asked again: "The defenders left the city to prepare for a field battle with our army? Are they crazy?"

As the governor of the capital, the mature and prudent Zhong Shidao also found it unbelievable that only 6000 or [-] troops would leave the city in a majestic manner?Even if you have artillery, as long as the cavalry is fast enough, they can overwhelm you in an instant. Is Han Xiaoyao really going to defeat him?
"Your Highness, there is indeed something fishy about this matter. Let me wait for you to come to the battle and check it out in detail."

Zhao Kai put down the tea cup and said with great interest: "Let's go together. Xiao Wang also wants to see what kind of medicine this King of Zhenbei sells?"

The generals gathered around Zhao Kai and arrived at the military formation. It was a hill two thousand steps away. It was difficult for conventional artillery to bombard accurately at this distance. Everyone raised their telescopes to take a look.

I saw the Yanjing defenders in a dumbbell-shaped formation. The almost thin front line in the middle looked awkward. Han Xiaoyao kept pretending, but in the end he was at this level?
Suddenly, Zhong Shidao frowned. After checking again and again, he said, "It doesn't seem like the soldiers of Han Ni's army are holding a serial crossbow?"

Upstairs at the south gate, Qin Huizhi was also surprised by the strange equipment of the three thousand guards.

Each soldier holds a wooden pole inlaid with a metal pipe and is about one person tall. He has a bulging cloth belt tied around his waist, a square backpack on his back, a wide-brimmed steel helmet on his head, and a khaki military uniform on his body.

What type of military is this?Never heard of it?

But this royal guard is obviously the elite of the elite. They are arrayed in front of 20 enemy troops without fear. Except for the orders of commanders at all levels, no one among the 3000 people even whispers to each other. They are like an iron man made of steel. .

Han Xiaoyao is really a pervert, he can train such an army!

Looking at the long and silent queue, Qin Huizhi inexplicably thought of Maode's advice to him. Could this be Han Xiaoyao's rock-solid trump card?
But he looked at the opposite side, where the Forbidden Army was gathering more and more, and shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the ridiculous idea just now.

"Hey, His Highness King Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore!" Han Xiaoyao pointed at the [-] vanguard cavalry of the Forbidden Army who took the lead in charging.

Qin Huizhi also wanted to give the final persuasion: "Your Majesty, I admit that you have trained your troops well, but it is not a wise move to use 5000 people to fight against an army of 25. It is not too late to change your course now..."

"Brother Hui has good intentions, but you are in the wrong direction!"

Facing the strange equipment of the defenders who came out of the city to fight, after deliberation and suggestions, the [-] cavalry were divided into three groups and charged at the same time, trying to eat the opponent in one go.

In the world of martial arts, there is no speed that cannot be broken, only the speed cannot be broken!

Although the opponent has fifty artillery pieces, as long as the cavalry disperses, the lethality of the artillery will be greatly reduced. At a distance of two to three hundred steps, the artillery will lose its power.

Of course, after entering two hundred steps, they will be killed by repeated crossbows, but the cavalry wearing armor made of fine steel can greatly reduce the lethality. Even if half of the cavalry is lost, knowing that it is necessary to annihilate the defenders, the defense of Yanjing City will be in vain. .

Zhao Kai finally adopted the three-sided assault tactic. As long as he rushed into Yanjing City, he would not hesitate to have [-] cavalry!
