Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 61 Although Taiyuan City was destroyed, the hearts of the people are not dead
Sun Yi was young and frivolous, his words were provocative, and the arrogance between the lines made Wanyan Zonghan, who was already in his 50s, even more angry!

Because the Jin country boy is not as good as the Song boy!In the entire new generation of Jin Kingdom, only Wanyan Zongbi has a certain appearance, but at the age of three, he looks young, and at the age of seven, he looks old.

Just this Sun Yi gave him a headache!
At most, he can be regarded as a generation of teachers and teachers, and his twilight with no successors makes him even more distressed!
"Persuade Zhang Xiaochun to surrender! Promise him the position of prime minister. We must take down Taiyuan City as soon as possible." As soon as Wan Yan Zonghan finished speaking, he saw the displeasure on the gray-haired old man's face.

The displeased person is Yelu Yujian, who is a traitor of the Liao Kingdom. His wife is the younger sister of Emperor Tianzuo's concubine. Because of the dispute between the crown princes of the Liao Kingdom, he surrendered gold after losing power. This person contributed a lot in the battle to destroy the Liao Dynasty , Emperor Tianzuo was able to be annihilated by him in one fell swoop, at least [-]% of the credit was due to this person.

No matter how high or high a traitor can be, what position can he achieve?Now he is only one general in the army.

In the Kingdom of Jin, it is very difficult for a traitor to be a prime minister. The prime minister Wanyan Zonghan promised was completely deceiving Zhang Xiaochun. As long as Zhang Xiaochun is tricked out of the city, it will be enough to shake the morale of the Taiyuan City defenders.

It's just that there was someone who made him quite uncomfortable but helpless.Not to mention the extremely powerful minister, he can occasionally overwhelm him in the court.It was that Yuwen Xuzhong!
I was in the court hall, admonishing that the two roads would go south from Shanhaiguan and go straight to Bianjing City.

Being supported by Yuwen Xuzhong, if the Western Army would surely fail, it would be better to divide the troops into two groups, one from the west and the other from the east.

The East Route Army could force troops to force Bianjing and Song Ting to defend the capital and abandon Taiyuan, and the West Route Army occupied Tongguan to reject the Western Army in order to complete.

Yu Wenxuzhong is deeply liked by Jin Ting's current emperor, Wanyan Sheng.

What if the soldiers unite and go back to Huanglong to take the throne?
How did the country in the south get established?Isn't that how it came about?
A yellow robe is not expensive.

Thinking about it now, it would be better to join forces to leave the customs directly from Datong all the way, go all the way south, and force Bianjing from Tongguan.

But there is nothing if, if the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty arrive, the [-] elite Jin soldiers and [-] Khitan slaves will not be able to take Taiyuan at all!

Seeing Wanyan Zonghan's face, Yeluyu knew what he was thinking.

I'm afraid this person thought that he was red-eyed when he heard that he was the prime minister?
He smiled bitterly, he didn't think that he should be according to Jin Guoxiang, that seat was given to himself, and he might not necessarily want to do it.

When he was young, he was a great talent in the clan. How many rebellions were cleared up for Emperor Tianzuo in the Southern and Northern Wars?
In the end?His wife and her sister died at the hands of Emperor Tianzuo.

In order to take revenge, he became a second minister, became a vanguard of the Kingdom of Jin, and captured the prefectures of the Kingdom of Jin. Not only that, he also raised the banner that Emperor Tianzuo had no virtue, made himself king, and called the Liao people to serve as the flanks of the Jin army to attack the city and seize the territory.

After avenging his revenge, he was immediately abandoned by the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin without mercy.

He has experienced the status of an extremely human minister long ago. Being with a king is like being with a tiger. Is that seat really that easy to do?He has already experienced it.No interest in it.

At this moment in Qi Zonghan, he was still thinking about attacking the city!

If it was him, he would definitely retreat to the Datong Mansion and strictly guard the Datong Basin. If Datong was lost, then the Kingdom of Jin would no longer have the possibility to go south.

Song Jun has changed!

Even the most elite Song Xijun has never shown such a tenacious character!
Three thousand heavy infantry blocked nearly five thousand heavy cavalry!Like a reef on the sea, it stands firm in the encirclement and suppression of heavy cavalry like waves!

He has never seen such a tough Da Song army!

Something must have changed, which boosted the morale of the Song Army!

And it wasn't the morale change brought about by a victory like setting fire to the Million Army Racecourse on Yunzhong Road.

He didn't know what happened, but the nature of Song Jun's fear of war had changed!

Moreover, Song Bing was pedantic and soft, and he couldn't do such a thing as a three-hundred-mile raid on Yunzhong Road!

The shackles that bound Song Jun's head, and the procrastination of asking the emperor for everything, have disappeared.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty delegated power!

That's what he came to.A few simple words are enough to make Song Jun a qualitative change.

The city of Taiyuan was broken five times, and the city wall was destroyed in sevens and eighties, less than five meters.24 gravel roads have been added to the moat outside the city, but this city of Taiyuan is still unbreakable!

Han people are good at fighting!He didn't even want to try what kind of power the Han people who lost their shackles would explode.

That would cost lives.

However, he was not going to remind Yan Zonghan, and was about to run away. Yelu Dashi surrendered gold and rebelled, established Dongliao, and called for his own head.

If the battle situation is unfavorable, he is afraid that his life will be lost, and there is no place for him to stand in this golden country.

Go to Da Song?He doesn't want to go.The literati in that place were too sour, and he couldn't bear it.

Then go to Xixia!

"Xi Shuai, your body is abnormal. Can you go back and rest?" Seeing Yeluyu, he asked to leave, and Wanyan Zonghan agreed.

Wanyan Loushi, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, came to the city of Taiyuan with a large amount of grain and meat. He held the envoy in his hand. Naturally, no one shot an arrow to kill the envoy. The Han army still had this integrity.

The city walls of Taiyuan City have long since been hammered by trebuchets day and night, and have become mottled. The highest point is no more than five feet, and there are ruins everywhere.

The outermost moat has been paved with 24 stone roads, but the intersection of these 24 stone roads is firmly in the hands of the Song army, patrolling day and night, and it is impossible to attack.

Outside the dilapidated city wall is a ten-meter-high wooden city wall, which will be replaced immediately after being destroyed to block the bows and arrows of the golden soldiers.

Behind the wooden wall is the seven-meter-high Yanchi Terrace, densely packed with trebuchets several meters high. Wanyan Loushi once counted them around the city, and there were as many as seven hundred.

All the houses in the city were demolished and made into trebuchets, and all the stones of the city walls became the stones of trebuchets.

Thousands of wooden city walls connected in series and parallel are lined up on the bank of Hao.This kind of series of buildings is made of chestnut jujube, elm and locust trees of two or three feet, five or six feet into the soil, more than ten feet high, with horizontal wood on the top, arrow windows in the middle, sheep and horse walls on the bottom, and three catapults per floor. boulder.

The Mongolian army built an earthen city for 60 miles outside the city to surround the city, and built a platform higher than the series of buildings to control the city.Wang ordered the army to fill the grass with oil, burn the platform, and set up seven floors of wild goose wings in the string building, and placed trebuchets, bed crossbows and other sharp weapons for defending the city.

Taiyuan, which seems to be in danger, has not been broken for a long time. Wanyan Loushi clearly knows that if the opponent really refuses to surrender.It will take at least 100 more days for them to take this city.

By that time, there will really be nothing in the city, and even the living will be dying, and it will be very laborious to move.

"Surrender! Surrender! You have proved the value of your existence with courage. This city will remember your names, and history will remember your names. Surrender. The old and weak, women and children will not be spared from the massacre in the city." Wanyan Loushi looked at the hungry and cold Taiyuan defenders and muttered to himself.

The war has ended like this, and both sides are already immortal.He clearly knew that coming this time was just a scam.

There were piles of bones lying under the wooden wall. He stared at the bones for a long time, and sighed so long that even his attendants heard him.

One will succeed in ten thousand bones?

He didn't feel sorry for this, but guessed that there was less food in Taiyuan City than he thought.

Wanyan Loushi wanted to go to Taiyuan City to discuss peace, but Taiyuan City's strong bow and crossbow shot at Wanyan Loushi's feet.

Stopped the opponent from advancing!
"Go one step forward, kill without mercy!" The soldiers guarding the city were already in a state of extreme hunger, seeing the grain carts and meat, they could not help themselves, so they shot arrows to block the opponent's progress!

The reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty had already left the city. They had already seen through the city wall that reinforcements were coming in a steady stream. They had already seen hope, and the Kingdom of Jin didn't need to listen to anything else.

Taiyuan City, which had been guarded for more than 180 days, finally ushered in the dawn.

Wanyan Loushi stood next to the arrows and shouted loudly: "The Taiyuan defenders are loyal and courageous, and the world can learn from them! Today, ten carts of grain and three carts of meat are sent! Xu Zhu will be a high-ranking official with a generous salary, and Xu Taiyuan will send an imperial emissary. Zhang Xiaozhong is the prime minister! Open the city gate, surrender without killing!"

Standing on the top of the wall, Zhang Xiaozhong couldn't stand his legs straight anymore. He really wanted to agree, but before, he had surrendered to the enemy before the battle and failed to do so. When Wang Ting noticed that he was forcing him with five hundred knives and axes, he didn't dare Surrender, now stand on the wall, say nothing.

"Angel of the Golden Kingdom..."

"kindness?"

"You little thief, why don't you retreat quickly? My Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have arrived! You will surely be overthrown by the power of the Heavenly Soldiers! You are the ones who surrender." Zhang Xiaochun's voice was very low, and Wang Ting doubted whether the other party would be able to do so. hear.

Wanyan Loushi tried to take a step forward, but a sharp arrow was nailed to his feet!
Song Jun didn't really want to shoot this general who was so noble just by his appearance, he didn't want to be destroyed at all.

Of course there is a reward for killing the general, but Jin Bing, who is extremely angry, will definitely tear the city defense apart and avenge his clan.

Everyone has selfish intentions. The Taiyuan defenders have been guarding for more than 180 days. They are already exhausted. Let the reinforcements take the credit for destroying the enemy.

They want to eat a warm meal more now, and they still need to munch on a few pieces of meat.

Food shortage in the city is true, but it has not yet reached the point of cannibalism. The bones under the wooden gate are actually dead soldiers. The Taiyuan defenders, unable to clean up the battlefield, can only let their corpses be torn apart by wild beasts at night.

ps: The wooden wall outside the city and the trebuchets refer to the method of connecting buildings and wooden walls outside the city when Du Gao fought against the Mongolian army in the late Southern Song Dynasty.Du Gao won a complete victory.
