After the group entered the city, they sat down in the temporary Qin mission, and Wang Yancai said: "Lord Yang, when I set off from Xingzhou, I heard that Wu Xi had requisitioned a large army in Xingyuan Mansion and was preparing to recapture Chengdu, I don't know how many people and horses there are in Chengdu Mansion now?" What is the best way for you to deal with Wu Xi's army? ”

At this time, Liu Renxian led the Dali people and horses to Chengdu, at present, Yang Yan has a total of more than 24,000 people, but only Yang Yan brought 8,000 people and horses are elite soldiers, and the rest of the men and horses are difficult to take on the big task in Yang Yan's opinion. 〔<〔 八(一[(小[語网 ?. However, it was already expected that Wu Xi would come to recapture Chengdu, so Yang Yan had already thought of a way to deal with it. On the contrary, if Wu Xi did not come to attack Chengdu, it would make Yang Yan feel embarrassed.

Hearing Wang Yan ask this, Yang Yan said: "Wang Xuanfu, please rest assured, I have already thought of a countermeasure, and I have ordered all places along the road not to block Wu Xi's army, and let it go at one rate, and now only Wu Xi's army can reach Chengdu." As he spoke, he told Wang Yan about his plan.

Wang Yan was also taken aback after hearing this, pondered for a while, and said: "Forgive the official for being blunt, although the plan of the horse is wonderful, it is not a gentleman's doing. Please think again. ”

Yang Yan also smiled bitterly and said: "What Wang Xuanfu said is good, and I also know that this plan is not a gentleman's doing, but now that the Jin army has crossed the Yangtze River, the southeast has fallen, and the imperial court has moved to Tanzhou. And now that the powerful ministers in Sichuan are rebelling, and there are Jin and Xia armies outside, not only must the rebellion be quickly quelled, but also the only possible way to reduce the killing and surrender of the rebels, after all, Wu Xi's men and horses are all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and now is the time to employ people, how can they be damaged in such a civil strife in vain. But to think of quickly quelling the chaos and surrendering the rebels, the only way to use it is to use the following method, and there is no other way. Therefore, I am alone in the consequences of this. ”

Wang Yan thought about it again, and there was really no other way, so he had to nod and say: "My lord's move is also for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the situation is critical, so I can only do this expedient measure." According to the words of the adults, but if it really produces adverse consequences, how can it be borne by the adults alone, if the court is accountable, the official is willing to write that the adults and horses will bear it together. ”

Two days later, Wu Xi's army really arrived at the city of Chengdu.

"Boom!" The stout giant tree slammed against the city gate like an angry dragon, with a deafening loud noise, and dust was everywhere, as if even the city walls trembled. The city gate, which was already crumbling, finally couldn't bear the impact of the huge force, and opened it with a "bang".

The gates were finally breached.

Bi Zaiyu stood on a tall building about 300 steps away from the city gate, which was the bell tower of Shinshu and the tallest building in the city, and he could look down on the Jin army pouring into the city from the city gate like a tide.

Today is the seventh day of the Book of Israel.

The corpses were everywhere in the field outside the city wall, and the city wall was full of corpses, and the red blood couldn't help but add to the blood stains that had become charred and blackened, but now no one paid attention to the Yijing. Since the first day of a major battle with the Jin army outside the city, the Song army began to close the city gates and hold on without a fight.

In the following six days, the Jin army almost day and night, sharing all the large-scale siege equipment except firearms, such as crash cars, tower cars, and cloud ladders, with the east gate as the main direction of attack, launched round after round of onslaught on the city of Shinshu. Moreover, while attacking the east gate, he also pretended to feint the other three gates to disperse the Song army's defensive forces.

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Jin army day and night, Bi Zaiyu responded calmly and commanded the Song army to repel the Jin army's offensive again and again. Bi Zaiyu was so busy that he almost didn't even go down the city wall, in the first two or three days, he could take turns with Zhang Shiyan, Liu Fuwu, Qi Dazhu and others to rest for a while, and later, as the Jin army attacked the city more and more urgently, Bi Zaiyu could only command the city without sleep, gnaw a steamed bun on the city wall when he was hungry, take a nap in the hut of the city tower when he was sleepy, and then continue to command the Song army to defend the city.

After six days of fierce attack, the Song army lost nearly 8,000 people, and in addition to the wounded soldiers, there are now less than 25,000 combatable soldiers in the city. The losses of the Jin army were also not small, Yijing lost nearly 25,000 men and horses, but Po Sa transferred 20,000 horses from the side of Fushi Lie Zhining, and now there are about 80,000 troops, still maintaining the absolute superiority of the Song army.

Moreover, the city wall of Shinshu was not very strong, after repeated attacks by the Jin army, the city wall near the east gate was damaged in many places, and now there are many collapsed gaps in the scriptures, and several gaps are less than a zhang high from the ground. Fortunately, because Yang Yan had prepared very well in Shinzhou before, the grain, grass, weapons, and materials in the city were still very sufficient.

And at this moment, the gate of the east gate of Shinshu City had been smashed open by the Jin army.

The commander of the Jin army, Xiao Yu, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and it seemed that the capture of Shinshu was just around the corner. Although he paid a heavy price, compared to the stalemate in which the other advances of the Jin army fell in, his own offensive on this way finally made progress. Moreover, after capturing Shinshu, the next step can be to attack Longxing Mansion and directly endanger the gateway of Tanzhou. Therefore, he immediately ordered his general to lead the Jin army to attack the city with all his might, and he must occupy Shinshu today.

According to the general siege experience, as long as the city gate is opened, the Song army will inevitably be discouraged, and the army will have no fighting spirit. The Jin general, who led the army into the city, thought the same way, but to his surprise, when the leading men and horses entered the city through the city gate that had just been opened, they were attacked by the Song army with a burst of bows and arrows, and the Jin army was caught off guard and was immediately shot into a large platoon. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have almost been shot.

The Jin army in the back, holding shields, braved the rain of arrows, and rushed into the city along the street.

But after entering the city, the Jin army appeared, the original road along the city wall was blocked by the Song army, the Jin army could not be deployed from both sides in the city, and suddenly had to lead the Jin army along the long street leading to the city gate to the city. But in the alleys on both sides of the long street, there are still countless Song troops still leaning on their houses in the city, and the streets continue to fight with the Jin army, stubbornly guarding the city of Shinshu.

"Song Jun is really tenacious." Suddenly, he cut down two Song soldiers, but immediately countless Song troops continued to rush up and fight with the Jin army.

Bi Zaiyu stood on the bell tower, looking at the fierce battle on the long street, and sneered: "Do you think you can capture Shinshu by breaking through the city gate?" Is it still early? ”
