As soon as the morning dawned, there was a movement outside the camp of the Jin soldiers, all the 80,000 troops assembled outside the camp, the sword light flashed, the armor was distinct, and the banners were like clouds, and the generals Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongwang looked solemn, and looked at the east solemnly.

With the sound of a low trumpet resounding across the field, a huge army appeared in the distance, and in the overwhelming banners, there appeared a white mobile tent dragged by eighty horses, which was a wide wooden platform with wooden wheels, covering an area of three acres, and on top of the wooden platform was a huge white felt tent, surrounded by soldiers in iron armor, and a golden black wolf-headed flag fluttered on the top of the felt tent, which meant that this was the royal tent of the Jurchens.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked out of the big tent, only to see that he was about fifty years old, tall and thin, with no trace of blood on his pale face, and the flesh on his cheeks had shrunk, highlighting two large cheekbones.

The unfavorable situation in Yanjing Mansion made him unable to hold his breath, so he had to drive the imperial expedition to Yanjing City, and followed behind him a large group of important officials of the Jin Kingdom, including Wu Qimai, Sagai, Ci Bushi, Lou Mu, Hulugu, A Lihe, Pu Jianu and other high-ranking civil and military officials followed Wanyan Aguda to Yanjing Mansion.

Wanyan Aguta once again brought 30,000 cavalry, so that the number of Jin soldiers outside Yanjing City has reached 110,000.

'Woo-'

Thousands of horns sounded at the same time, the momentum was very spectacular, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongwang walked forward quickly, kneeling down in front of the high platform, Wanyan Agu waved his hand, the car slowly stopped, two guards brought him a wide seat covered with tiger skin, Wanyan Agu sat down, and ordered left and right, "Bring them up!" ”

Zong Bi and Zong Wang were taken to the wooden platform, and the two knelt down again, "Son, see your father!" ”

Wanyan Agu glanced at them and said lightly: "One of the two of you is my second son, and the other is my fourth son, I have high hopes for the two of you, but you make me feel uneasy, I haven't been in good health in the past two years, can't you let me raise it for a few years?" ”

Wanyan Aguta's expression was very calm, and his tone was soft-spoken, but in the ears of the two of them, it was like lightning and thunder, which made the two brothers ashamed, "Father, the son is not doing well, please punish the father!" ”

"It's you who underestimated the cunning of the Song army, and it's because you value the so-called covenant too much, can't you kill Yanjing without Tong Guan's letter for help? In the end, he annihilated 20,000 Liao troops for others, and made wedding dresses for others in vain, so how can I say that you are good? ”

The two brothers lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, and they glared at the two of them fiercely, and then said slowly: "I said that these are to remind you of the lessons of this time, we Jurchens have used swords and arrows to gain benefits since ancient times, not relying on any covenant, I hope that Yanjing City can be taken as soon as possible, and that bastard of Yelu Yanxi has begun to be active again." ”

"The retainers obey!"

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi had negotiated in advance, and Wanyan Zongbi's 30,000 elite Jurchen cavalry did not move, but the 30,000 Bohai Navy under Wanyan Zongwang attacked the city, and the Bohai Navy belonged to the Jurchens' subsidiary army, which was actually an auxiliary army composed of Xi, Khitan, Goryeo, Murowei, Dalugu and other foreign races.

At this time, the big flag in the barracks waved, and the earth-shaking war drums began to beat, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! Wanyan Zongwang shouted: "The third, fourth, and fifth armies are ready to attack the city!" ”

The specific siege plan has been deduced many times by the two brothers in the big tent, including the three captains of the Bohai Navy, who are very familiar with the siege deployment that is about to break out.

The siege is first and foremost the terrain, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to large-scale siege weapon operations, so the bumpy terrain of the Xicheng is eliminated first, followed by the army to concentrate on the siege, which is also their experience in attacking the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.

They finally decided to attack the eastern and northern cities, especially the eastern city, which was witnessed by their old wolf lord, and they decided to throw in 20,000 heavy troops, while the commander Purinu led another 10,000 troops to attack the northern city.

The Jin soldiers also experienced countless siege battles when they destroyed the Liao State, and they were by no means a brave army that could only ride and shoot, and even the experience and bravery of attacking the city were far inferior to the Song and Liao armies.

In just a moment, 20,000 troops had been assembled three miles away from Dongcheng, they were divided into four phalanxes, like four black carpets spread out in the flat field, the sun reflected on their jet-black iron armor, the tips of the snowy spears also shimmered in the sun, the same indifference and a pair of beast-like eyes, coupled with their strong and stubby size, seemed to contain powerful explosive power.

Li Yanqing saw it very clearly in the city, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, no wonder the Jin soldiers were able to destroy the Liao and Song dynasties in the early days, and the murderous spirit and bravery exuded by the soldiers were by no means something that the Song army could resist, although they were generally shorter than the Song army, but if they fought alone, the Song soldiers were like weak scholars who were not diligent, and the beast-like murderous aura on the Jin soldiers alone had far the upper hand, and they seemed to be born for fighting.

This is the difference between the farming people and the fishing and hunting peoples! Li Yanqing sighed softly.

But Li Yanqing only sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he would never let any of his subordinates see the slightest timidity on his face.

This time, Li Yanqing's right army was responsible for the defense of Dongcheng, and the master also knew that Dongcheng was the focus of the enemy's attack, so he transferred 5,000 soldiers from the Chinese army to Li Yanqing, responsible for operating heavy defensive weapons such as trebuchets and cannons, the east city was about ten miles long, the city head was wide, and the soldiers were constantly flowing through, which seemed tense and orderly, Li Yanqing handed over the northern section of Dongcheng to Liu Jian to be responsible, and the southern section was Yang Zaixing, in addition, Li Yanqing promoted Cao Xing to be responsible for commanding the operation of the 5,000 Xiang army.

From afar, I heard Cao Xing yelling: "Muddy bastard! Who made your hand cheap and ruined one in vain, do you know how many enemies it can kill? ”

Li Yanqing walked up, only to see Cao Xuan reprimanding a soldier sharply, the soldier lowered his head, his legs trembled slightly, and a swarthy earth-shattering thunder was placed next to him.

"What's going on?" Li Yanqing walked over and asked.

The common feature of the Cao family is to protect the shortcomings, the old man Cao is like this, and it is the same when it comes to Cao Xing, as if it is genetic, he was still scolding this subordinate just now, but when Li Yanqing asked, he immediately made things smaller.

"This earth-shaking thunder may not have been put away during transportation, the wooden cork at the mouth of the pot was a little loose, this kid was originally well-intentioned, and wanted to press the wooden cork tightly, but the force was too great, but the wooden cork was pressed into the pot, and the fire rope was broken, wasting a sky-shaking thunder in vain."

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "This is a trivial matter, don't scold him like this, hand it over to the gunpowder workshop, and it will be safe again soon!" ”

Cao Xuan glared at the soldier fiercely, "Don't go yet!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly picked up the earth-shaking thunder and ran down the city, Li Yanqing looked at the back of the soldiers running away, smiled again and said to Cao Xing: "Have you trained the soldiers?" How to throw a sky-shattering thunderbolt. ”

"I have already told all the generals that the key is the launch line, and there must not be the slightest mistake."

There is a one-foot-long fire rope inserted in the spout of each earth-shaking thunder, and at an inch away from the mouth of the pot, a launch line is drawn on the fire rope with charcoal, and when the spark burns to the launch line, it must be projected.

This method was still thought up by Li Yanqing, saving the soldiers a lot of trouble, and it didn't hurt to launch it in advance, in case any soldier was dizzy and didn't see the progress, and let the earth-shaking thunder explode at the head of the city, it would be a great disaster.

Li Yanqing nodded, "That being said, you still have to be careful, I'm afraid that the trebuchet will get stuck at a critical moment, you have to take care of the bottom, and if you find that the trebuchet is abnormal, stop firing immediately." ”

"I will definitely pay attention to my humble duties!"

At this moment, the low horn sound under the city sounded again, and the 20,000 golden soldiers broke out with a loud roar, and then the rumbling war drums sounded, Li Yanqing's face changed, and he knew that the war had finally begun.
