The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 604
Jin Taizong Wan Yansheng appointed Banbo Jiliegao and Marshal of the capital, and led the army to attack the Song Dynasty southward in two ways.The army on the west road was led by the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan, and attacked Taiyuan from Dadongfu in Xijing;

Yanshan Mansion is also the collective name of Youzhou, Guizhou and other places where Zhao Gou is located.Wanyan Zonghan led the army to confront the Song army in Gubei; Wanyan Zongwang led the East Road army to confront the Song army in Dushi.Zhao Gou had already learned the information, so he sent generals to the front line.

He personally restrained the army on the east route, and Zhao Gou, the army on the west route, ordered Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, and Liu Qi to lead more than ten lieutenants, command an army of [-], and fight the Jin soldiers at Dushi.Because Zhao Gou had deployed ahead of time, the army on the west road did not take advantage of it.

In addition, Zhao Gou also issued a death order, if Jin Bing entered and stood on half of the land in the Sixteen States of Yanyun, he would come to see him.In this battle, all the generals who participated in the battle signed a life-and-death certificate.

The Jin soldiers came fiercely. Jin Taizong's southern invasion of the Song Dynasty had been planned for many years. This time he sent generals to attack the Song Dynasty, but he came with the determination to win with one blow.Even if Zhao Gou led an army to resist, it was only temporary.

Because Wanyan Sheng wanted to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and become the one-in-a-million emperor of the Jin Dynasty, making the Great Jin famous all over the world and becoming the real overlord.Because the Song Dynasty occupied abundant resources, this was something Wanyan Sheng didn't want to see. He wanted to invade the Song Dynasty, but also to complete his hegemony of world domination, and to improve the plight of the people's lives.

As long as the Song Dynasty is completely destroyed, everything owned by the Song Dynasty will belong to the Great Jin Dynasty.This time, Wanyan Sheng put all the power of the whole country, that is, sent 30 troops, to win the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and to approach Bianjing City.If the Sixteen States of Yanyun were conquered, that would be the best result.

As long as the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are in the hands of the Jin Dynasty, they can be ready to attack the Song Dynasty with troops at any time.At that time, the Song Dynasty was like meat on a nail, allowing him to slaughter it.However, Zhao Gou had been prepared for a long time, so that the army of Jin soldiers was blocked on the land outside the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and could not enter half of it.

"What? The army was resisted by the Song army?" Wan Yancheng roared angrily, "I sent an army of 30, but it was resisted by the Song army with less than a hundred thousand? Pass on my will, regardless of the use. What method must be used to defeat the Song army, even if it is a one-on-one battle, the Song army must be completely wiped out with human sea tactics, and it will go straight to the capital of Bianjing. If there is no achievement and the success is on the verge of failure, then let Ban Boji strongly raise his head Come and see!"

Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng heard that his army of 30 was actually blocked by the [-] Song army from the land of Yanyun, how could he accept it.Therefore, he issued an imperial decree, ordering the generals in front, no matter what price they paid, they must invade the hinterland of Song Dynasty.

Due to the imperial decree issued by Jin Taizong, the head coach of Jin Bing also gave the order to attack under great pressure.

When the horn of war sounded, the Jin soldiers went on to attack Dushi and Gubei one after another, using this as a breakthrough point to approach the territory of the Song Dynasty.Seeing this, Zhao Gou could only avoid his edge, not allowing the Song army to fight against them, and playing the high card of avoiding the battle.

However, the generals of the Golden Army did not play cards according to common sense at all, directly ignoring the role of the free card, and resolutely launched an attack.Since the main force of the Song army was divided into two parts to resist the Jin soldiers, Zhao Gou could not take the initiative to attack, but could only defend passively.

Had it not been for Zhao Gou's preparations when he was in the land of Yanyun, he had raised and widened the city wall, it would have been difficult to resist the endless offensive of the Jin soldiers.Zhao Gou looked at the densely packed golden soldiers under the city, and all the supplies, ladders and other things were also used.

Wanyan Zonghan ordered to attack the city, and countless golden soldiers came forward one after another. They took spears, shields, long knives and other weapons, and put the ladder directly on the city wall, and kept climbing up.Even if Song Jun smashed stones and bricks from above, he was still unafraid and continued to attack one after another.

Moreover, the catapult brought by Jin Bing put the big stone on it and threw it directly, with the target pointing directly at the city wall.If the city wall hadn't been thickened, it would have been broken by huge stones.However, the power of the huge stone when it fell was not something ordinary people could resist, and countless Song soldiers died on the catapults.

Zhao Gou looked expressionlessly at the advancing Jin soldiers, he could only continue to give orders to guard the city.The battle situation at this time was very dangerous. Zhao Gou had already issued several memorials requesting reinforcements and supplies, but all of them fell to nothing.

Now, Yanyun Sixteen States is like a solitary boat on the sea, which may be overturned by big waves at any time.

"My lord, if we continue to attack like this, our army will not be able to sustain it!" Military strategist Wu Yong was also transferred to the front by Zhao Gou, and Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others also gathered on the city wall.

The Jin soldiers attacked the city as if they were using human lives to make up for it, ignoring the natural dangers of Gubeikou, the fortification of Gubei City, and the stubborn resistance of the Song army.Since the beginning of the Song and Jin wars, Zhao Gou has been ready.

Originally thought that the Jin soldiers would retreat in spite of difficulties, but they didn't think that they didn't care about the lives and deaths of soldiers at all, and they were completely desperate to attack the city.At this time, more than ten days had passed since the Jin soldiers attacked the city. If the attack continued like this, not only would they be unable to hold on, the city would be destroyed, and even the soldiers of the Song Army would not be able to bear it.

"Is there still no news from the capital?" Zhao Gou couldn't hide the anger in his heart. Not only did he fight on the front line, but there was no help from the rear, and there was no news from the rear. This made him very angry. I'm afraid that he has already returned to the capital, and Xingshi will ask the crime.

"No!" Song Jiang said worriedly, "According to the information obtained by Brother Yanqing, it is said that the emperor indulged in wine and sex all day long and ignored the government affairs. Now Da Song is in the hands of the old Taoist Ci Zhao, who controls the government affairs with one hand. The memorials and so on should not have reached the hands of the emperor!"

Zhao Gou sneered: "It's not that it hasn't reached his hands, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it if it does."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Junyi asked blankly.

"What's the reaction from King Chu?" Zhao Gou asked about Zhao Yougong's situation again. According to his temperament, he should not ignore this matter.If the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are lost, then the entire Song Dynasty will be in jeopardy, and then the Jin soldiers will be able to cross the Yellow River and approach the city of Bianjing.

"The King of Chu is powerless!" Wu Yong was so anxious that he sighed again: "Brother Yanqing wrote to say that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been turned away from the palace many times, and even the emperor has never been seen. How can he lead the army to go to the palace?" Come to the rescue."

Zhong Shidao couldn't bear the displeasure in his heart, and cursed: "I really don't know what the Supreme Emperor thinks. Regardless of whether he cares about it or not, the Great Song Dynasty is really in danger. The Supreme Emperor is going to ruin the Great Song Dynasty. With the gold man?"

"Now at the imperial court, we can't hope for anything, and we can only rely on ourselves. Even if we send troops to rescue at this time, I am afraid that the distant water will not be able to save the nearby fire." Zhao Gou said in a stern voice, "How much food do we have left now?" ? How many troops does our army have?"

"The food can only last for another month at most. As for the strength of our army, there are only 4 people who are still fighting. 5000 people died in battle, 400 people were seriously injured, and [-] people were slightly injured."

"One month is the first month!" Zhao Gou muttered to himself, and said firmly: "One month later, our army will fight the final decisive battle with the Jin soldiers. As for the result, everything is left to fate. We can rely on ourselves."

"However, with our strength, how can we compete with the Jin soldiers who outnumber our army by more than twice?" Wu Yong said anxiously.

"If you can't fight, you have to fight. Even if you die in battle, you deserve to die!" Zhao Gou said loudly, "If we don't do anything and can only be beaten passively, how long can we hold on? I'm afraid the golden soldiers have not yet attacked. We were suffering from hunger and cold, and we had already starved to death and frozen to death. At that time, we could do nothing even if we fought hard, so we could only take this road."

Everyone nodded helplessly, they were unwilling.If it is true that he can't defeat Jin Bing, even if he dies, it is justified.However, they fought desperately with the enemy on the front line, and the court actually watched them die in battle. will cause a strong backlash.
