Volume 9 Saving the Sky Chapter 722 [Frontispiece]
That night, the Jin army camped five miles in front of the city, and the 50,000 Jin army still besieged the city on all sides, putting on a ten-sided encirclement formation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the city of Pingzhou, it is also a gloomy fog, but I can see that the lights in the city are bleak, and there are desolate songs and ballads in desolate tones from time to time in various parts of the city.
Now, it is the backbone of the taunting people who has fallen!
It is the third time that the Jin army has come to attack Pingzhou. The last time it was August, when the Jin army came, the weather was also cold, and there was a hurricane blowing on the sea, but when the camp was just set up, it was sunny for more than ten consecutive days, and the Jurchens could not tolerate heat warfare, so they had to retreat in a hurry.
This time, I chose the day when it was cold and cold, and I besieged the city on the first day of October.
Previously, Xiao Gan was originally in Yingzhou, but the Jin army was on the offensive, and Pingzhou was in a hurry one after another, so Xiao Gan had no choice but to personally command 20,000 pro-troops to come to help, and rushed to Pingzhou on October 22. Originally, he planned to camp in the east of Pingzhou City, and guard the horns of the city, and defend each other, who wanted to be attacked by the Jin army before he could gain a firm foothold, and Xiao Gan could only lead the remnants to retreat into Pingzhou.
Now that the Jin army has learned that Xiao Gan is in the city, he has put on a ten-sided encirclement formation, vowing to kill Xiao Gan in Pingzhou and let the Great Xi Kingdom be wiped out!
At this time, the government of Pingzhou City was also brightly lit.
But seeing that above the inner hall of the house, there are more than a dozen blood-stained generals in the army, and if you look at the faces of each person, you can also see that although there are many Xi people, there are also a few Bohai, Khitan and Han faces.
"Xiao Bajin, now in Pingzhou City, under your uncle, you are the master, what is the matter, you are the master!"
At this time, one of the middle-aged generals looked at Xiao Gan's nephew with a gloomy face, and shouted in a deep voice: "There are 40,000 people in the city, and there are 20,000 soldiers, and it is up to you to decide whether you live or die." ”
Room B Bajin originally had no surname, so he also followed the surname of his uncle Xiao Gan, and was called Xiao Bajin in the army. At this time, he hung his arms, and he also looked at the middle-aged general with a gloomy face, and only after a long time did he speak: "Agu Zhe, what do the Jurchen thieves outside the city say?" ”
The general called Agu Zhe, seeing that the hair on his head should be a Khitan, he also saw that he reached out and took out a sheepskin with a small hole from his arms, threw it to Xiao Bajin and said, "See for yourself!" This is the word of Yu Jian, and it will not be wrong! ”
Xiao Bajin took it and took a look, but saw that the Khitan characters on the sheepskin were also written concisely, and proposed that if the defenders in the city were willing to surrender, only Xiao Gan's head would be done. Xiao Bajin seemed to sneer, and threw the sheepskin into the fire in the hall with his hand, and sneered: "Yelu Yujian is just a dog raised by a Jurchen thief now, can he believe his words?" ”
Na Agu Zhe's face turned red when he heard this, but he still endured his anger and said: "Now there are less than 8,000 soldiers in the city who can fight, if you only defend one city wall, you will not be afraid, I am afraid that the Jurchens will attack from all sides!" ”
Having said this, the generals who were doing it also nodded secretly, to say that these 8,000 troops stationed in a city are really not small, at least in the previous battles of Song and Liao, with 10,000 people stationed in a city, at least ten times the number of troops can be blocked to attack. But the Jurchens attack the city is not a conventional routine, often come up from all sides to encircle, eight sides to attack, and the Jurchens have their own violent aura, and everyone is brave when they attack, all of them are like blessings bloodthirsty, so that the defenders can't tell which side is the main attack and which side is a feint.
In other words, the Jin army does not play any feints at all, and every side is attacking, which makes the defenders can only defend with all their might, and they fight with the Jin army with their teeth on their teeth!
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was awkward, and everyone naturally knew that in addition to the defenders' struggle, in addition to the defenders' struggle, the main thing was to rely on Xiao Gan's backbone to bless everyone with a halo of courage. But who would have thought that just after the Jin army was defeated, the backbone of the main heart suddenly fell, if there was no blessing of Xiao Gan's aura, it would be unknown whether Pingzhou could defend it or not.
Just when everyone was silent, thinking about what to do next, but they could also hear a faint voice coming from the back hall, and soon they saw a few Xiao Gan's personal soldiers escorting a few old men in doctor's costumes to the front of the hall.
Xiao Bajin hurriedly called a few doctors up for questioning, and said bluntly: "How is my uncle now? Just tell the truth! ”
Several doctors were wearing Hanfu, which should be Liaodi Chinese doctors, and after seeing them glance at them, a white-bearded old doctor could only stand up trembling and answer: "General, the lord of the country is ...... Is...... Stroke! ”
"Stroke?" The generals in the hall were all surprised when they heard it, the so-called brain stroke is also a stroke, thinking that Xiao Gan was an old man sixty miles away, and today he fought in the city for a whole day, and finally won the victory and was overexcited and had a stroke, but it is reasonable.
Xiao Bajin's face turned cold when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "When will you wake up?" ”
Several old doctors looked at each other again, and the white-bearded old doctor came forward and replied: "We have exhausted the power of the medicine stone, but I am afraid of ...... Even ten days and a half months will be difficult to wake up! ”
Suddenly, he saw Xiao Bajin's face turned pale, and the rest of the generals were also full of fear, even that Agu Zhe's face was also dark, but no one saw a trace of a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Bajin was stunned, suddenly stood up, turned his head to look at the generals around him, and his face slowly showed a look of absolute color. However, at this time, when he saw him beside him, a Han army general with a Han face suddenly got up and drew his knife, first stabbed the white-bearded old doctor to death, and several Han army generals who followed him also drew their knives and slashed the rest of the old doctors and the personal soldiers who escorted them over on the spot.
Xiao Bajin saw it, and said busily: "Zhang Yu, what are you?" ”
The general of the Han army named Zhang Yu replied in a deep voice: "Since the general has made a decision, the matter of the head of the country cannot be passed on!" ”
Xiao Bajin looked surprised when he heard it, but the other generals present all nodded in approval, and finally Agu Zhe got up and came to Xiao Bajin's side, and said in a low voice: "Bajin, now that the matter has come to this, let's make a decision quickly!" ”
Xiao Bajin glared at Agu Zhe, then turned to look at the generals in the hall, and finally gritted his steel teeth, nodded and asked, "Are you willing to follow me into trouble?" ”
Everyone bowed in unison and shouted, "I am willing to follow the general, and I will not disobey each other!" ”
Xiao Bajin looked at everyone, gritted his teeth fiercely, took out the war knife under his waist, and walked to the back hall with Na Agu Zhe and Zhang Yu.
Soon, the west gate of Pingzhou was opened, and the Pingzhou garrison of Xi State, Yelu Agu Zhe, Xiao Gan's nephew Xiao Bajin, together with the generals of the Pingzhou garrison, presented the head of Xiao Gan to the Jin army with a wooden box, and the city was surrendered.
And Xiao Gan's Great Xi Kingdom, after almost a year of confronting the Jin Army, collapsed! (To be continued.) )
