Chapter 729: Bombardment of Youzhou
Jin Guo Yanjing Xijin Fu City.
"It's inexplicable!"
On the tower of Yingchun Gate, Yanjing stayed behind to guard Yan Zongfu or said with a wry smile.
It's inexplicable.
The entire 150,000 army inexplicably did not lay down Bianliang for half a year, and then the whole army was wiped out so inexplicably!
150,000!
150,000 gold troops!
was wiped out by the Song army!
Is there any other word to describe such a thing than inexplicable?
The vast majority of the 150,000 were the elite of the cavalry, and included the best commanders of the Jin Kingdom and almost all the bravest generals, and then they were wiped out by a group of wastes that they used to be able to drive a thousand people with a hundred people, not to mention that it was 150,000 people, even 150,000 pigs could rush out. But the fact is that the mobile combat force of the entire Jin country disappeared on both sides of the Yellow River like a stone sinking into the sea, and then he immediately got information that this huge army that swept the world for the Jin country was completely annihilated, and the thick smoke of the Song people burning the dead bodies in Huaizhou covered the sky and the sun, all kinds of weapons and armor were piled up into mountains, and the war horses almost flooded Bianliang City, and the heads of countless fierce generals, including Sticky Han, were crushed in front of the Taimiao Temple in Bianliang.
This is really inexplicable!
Then it was followed by a full-front counterattack by the Song army.
Then all the land occupied by Hedong in Hebei Province was lost, except for the area around Taiyuan.
Then the Song army came to Yanjing.
And what can he do?
He didn't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, since his father raised the army back then, no Jurchen commander would face the enemy in humiliation in this way, but he only had less than 30,000 soldiers, and there were 20,000 Khitan and Han people who could stab him in the back at any time, the real Jurchen and other ethnic soldiers in Liaodong were less than 10,000, and the pure Jurchen soldiers were even only 3,000.
And how many enemies are there?
Two hundred thousand!
There are more than 30,000 cavalry alone!
With 3,000 loyal soldiers, 7,000 more loyal soldiers, and 20,000 servants who might defect at any moment, what could he do to fight against the 200,000 army outside, including thousands of mounted cavalry?
He can only be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Even this shrunken turtle is not so easy to make.
He also had to be careful not to be stabbed in the back by a man from the city.
"General Guo, I don't know what the general thinks of this Song army?"
He said with a confident smile.
"Deputy Marshal, the last general is familiar with the Song people, but it's just a bunch of waste, 200,000 horses? Back then, Liu Yanqing was also 200,000 horses, and it was not a touch of collapse, don't look at their armor and armor look like that, they are actually a group of sheep, put on the armor of the sheep or sheep, and they can't become wolves, and the last general has not been in Bianliang, it can be said that from top to bottom, from the emperor of the Zhao family to the people, from the generals to the soldiers, they are all a bunch of waste, and how many people in such an army are not worth mentioning. ”
The middle-aged general beside him said.
This is Huang Yaoshi......
No, it's Pharmacist Guo.
He had already been placed under house arrest, but in order to stabilize the morale of the Han army in the city, Wanyan Zongfu still re-employed him, after all, it was impossible for him to surrender, and the first battle of Bianliang was the result of him leading the way. It was his judgment of the strength of the Song Dynasty that prompted the Jin army to go south, and then pierced the painting skin of the Song Dynasty at that moment, it can be said that at this time, the Song Dynasty hated to peel him off and tear him apart, and let Guo Yaoshi control the Han army with him, which was the only choice for Wanyan Zongfu at the moment.
As for the Khitans in the city......
That doesn't need to be too concerned, the Khitans in Yanjing are mainly civilian officials, and those Khitans who control the army are all on the battlefield in Xijing or Taiyuan, for example, Yelu Yujian is Wanyan Xiyin's deputy, as for the Khitan in this city, it does not pose a threat at all, and the Han people are what Wanyan Zongfu is most worried about.
"How did the army of the Southern Expedition lose?"
Wanyan Zongfu said.
"Marshal, at this time I don't know whether it's true or not, how can there be a reason why the 150,000 army was wiped out, and even a messenger couldn't come back, here and Bianliang are thousands of miles away, even if the Song people spread rumors, they can't tell the difference, the Southern Expedition army failed to capture Bianliang, maybe it's true, but to say that the Song people can make the Southern Expedition army annihilated, then it will not be believed.
Who can wipe out 150,000 golden soldiers?
Maybe it is retreating, but because of the distance and the war delayed the transmission of the news, at this time the entire Hebei Hedong is fighting, it is not surprising that there are some accidents along the way, it took more than 20 days for the deputy marshal to go from Taiyuan to Bianliang, if there is a city on the way back that refuses to return to the army and thus delays it, it is possible that it has not been withdrawn for a month or even two months, if the Song people really have to block and cut off the road halfway, it is entirely possible that the news cannot be transmitted here.
In short, the last general really felt that the Song people could wipe out the entire army of the Southern Expedition, which was really tantamount to the sun coming out of the west, and it was already incredible that they could block the attack of the army. ”
Pharmacist Guo said.
"Then General Guo is interested in fighting?"
Wanyan Sosuke asked with a smile.
"That, marshal, the last general thinks that sticking to the side is the best policy, the old Liao of Yanjing City has been operating for nearly two hundred years, it can be said that the copper wall is like an iron wall, even Zhao Guangyi's personal expedition was broken and bloody, why do we need to fight with them outside the city, let them use human lives to pile up, let's hunt the Song people on the city wall safely, they will be trapped in less than three months, at that time, the Shangjing army will go south to sweep away these rats in one fell swoop, let them know the power of my Dajin!"
Pharmacist Guo said with a heroic face.
He's stupid!
It's hard to say whether the whole army was wiped out, but the boundless Song army outside is real, and it is unbelievable that he can come back when he attacks!
"General Guo, I'm just joking!"
Wanyan Sosuke said with a smile.
"Huh?!"
Pharmacist Guo also put on a smile, and the two guys with their own ghosts looked at each other like a pair of dead glass and laughed in unison.
"Boom!"
A dull thunderclap.
They subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Almost at the same time, a terrifying roar rushed over their heads, and their heads spun with this whistling, and the corner of the tower behind them suddenly shattered, and countless pieces of bricks and wood burst backwards, and the entire tower seemed to shake violently, and then the upper floor of the corner collapsed with a bang, and the soldiers below who had not had time to dodge were beaten into a scream.
Wanyan Zongfu and Guo Yaoshi turned their heads mechanically with shocked expressions.
There was a flash of fire in front of the Song army's formation.
The next moment there was another thunderclap.
The next moment, the arrow stack not far away from them suddenly turned into pieces, and in the middle of the sprayed bricks, a black shadow slashed across and hit the waist of a general, and then I saw the entire waist of this guy turn into a cloud of blood spraying backwards. At the moment when the two halves of the body fell, the black shadow fell on the city wall and bounced up with a splash of rammed earth, and suddenly hit the chest of a soldier, and the soldier's right chest and shoulder turned into a blood mist, in which the thing flew out of the city wall and landed on the roof of a house in an arc, and immediately smashed a large hole and disappeared into the house.
Wanyan Zongfu and Guo Yaoshi looked at each other.
They both turned their gazes to the two bloody corpses at the same time, and all the soldiers near the walls looked at the rotten flesh with the same horror.
"Demon law, there is a demon law!"
A soldier let out a heart-rending scream.
Wanyan Zongfu suddenly sobered up, and without hesitation, he pulled out his knife and rushed to him, and then swung his knife and slashed down, falling from the head in the spray of blood, and then he carried the blood-dripping knife and scanned both sides in the background of the fallen corpse, and those soldiers who had already subconsciously wanted to run immediately stopped and looked at him tremblingly, while several other Jurchen generals also quickly pulled out their knives.
"Death to those who dare to mess around!"
Wanyan Zongfu shouted gloomily.
"What are you afraid of witchcraft, are there no mages in the city?"
He then shouted.
At the same time, the city wall under his feet trembled suddenly, and then the sound of rammed earth collapsing on the city wall was extremely harsh in the silence, and then he saw Guo Yaoshi standing by the city wall fall to the side, subconsciously held on to the arrow battlement, raised his head and looked at him somewhat confused, the next moment the terrifying roar suddenly came, the arrow battlement was shattered instantly, and a black shadow swept past with the flesh and blood on Guo Yaoshi's body and the fragments of the arrow battlement, and then Guo Yaoshi immediately fell to the city.
His screams rang out......
Not only were the defenders of the city wall stunned, but even the Song troops lined up outside the city were also so frightened that they all knelt down, bowing down to the front of their formation one by one.
There, six huge copper pillars mounted on wooden wheels were spewing terrifying flames and making a loud sound like a landslide and earth cracking, although the soldiers who were already familiar with the bowl mouth gun and the three-eyed gun and even the five-eyed gun knew that this was actually a super-large firecracker, and they were also watching Yue Fei lead those soldiers with their own eyes, just like they loaded the three-eyed gun, stuffed a large bag of gunpowder and an iron ball the size of a small watermelon into it, and then lit it with a fire rope like the launch of the three-eyed gun, but ......
But this thing is too big.
It's scary!
The loud sound of the mountain collapsing and cracking, the terrifying flames that erupted more than a foot away, the power that collapsed half of the city tower almost a mile away, all of them were beyond their imagination!
Among them have good eyesight, they can even see the place where the city wall was hit, and the rammed earth is collapsing in the splash of dust, they can also see how the arrow stack disappeared, this is completely the power of destroying the city and destroying the country, this is simply not a mortal weapon, this is the magic weapon of the gods, of course, this is indeed given to them by the gods, isn't the national teacher a god? It is said that these are the soldiers of the former Imperial Camp Division, but they are all believers in the national teacher, and at this moment, they worship the six cannons as devoutly as they worship the national teacher.
Twelve-pounder Napoleon cannon.
Although it was only a twelve-pounder cannon, it was still enough to bombard the rammed earth walls.
"Fire!"
Yue Fei pointed at the knife in his hand.
The guns slammed the arquebuses on the ignition poles towards the ignition holes, and the next moment the six cannons erupted again.
