When the fiery red sunset in the distance gradually sank in the west, the ever-victorious army of the brigade drove out of the capital city. Stay in the barracks that the forward troops have set up in advance.

"How's it going? Did they ever come out? After Gao Yang turned over and dismounted, he shook his somewhat sore neck. As he walked towards his military tent, he asked out loud.

Dressed in battle armor and with a solemn expression, Yue Fei, who was following Gao Yang, shook his head, frowned and said, "No." It's been three days since I got here, and no matter what I did, the Jurchens didn't come out. I deliberately sold a flaw last night, and I couldn't hook people. It looks as if the gates have been sealed completely. ”

Gao Yang's originally unhurried footsteps paused slightly, and then continued to move forward. After reaching out and rubbing his forehead, he whispered, "It seems that the Jurchens are determined to defend to the end." Is this city strong? ”

Yue Fei nodded vigorously, clenched his fists with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "The city defense is good." The city walls are all built with bluestone, as high as six zhang, the circumference is almost ten miles, and there is a water gate by the river. There are all kinds of city defense equipment on the city wall. The flags are dense and the sergeants are numerous. ”

Speaking of this, Yue Fei paused, and then said, "Although there is no problem for us to build this city. But during the siege, the damage of the sergeants was bound to be great. ”

Gao Yang reined in his pace. He bent the corners of his mouth, looked at him sideways, and said with a chuckle, "It is said that you love soldiers like children, and this is really not wrong." He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then said, "Don't worry, have you forgotten how many aliens have come to take refuge along the way?" What are you doing with these people as me? ”

Yue Fei's expression was stunned, and his expression was a little complicated.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Those aliens don't have any good things. What evil did they not do when they followed the Jurchens south? Now it's cheaper for them to let them fill in the city defenses! This trick was learned from the Jurchens. ”

"What the prince said is extremely true." Yue Fei is not a hypocritical person, and there is nothing in this era, hello, hello, everyone. It is also a very logical thing to use those aliens to fill in the city defenses.

After the conversation, Gao Yang returned to the military tent to rest. And Yue Fei continued to do his own thing. As the main general. Daily military affairs no longer need Gao Yang to come forward. Naturally, there will be a large number of generals to do it.

The scale of Chang Sheng's northward march was too large, and it was not until three days later that the follow-up army was still coming in a steady stream. Except for the side of the river, the other three sides of Shangjing City have been completely surrounded by dense military camps.

View from the walls of the Upper Capital City. Wave in the wind. The hunting flags are as dense as a dense jungle, and there is no end in sight. The man shouted and the horse neighed. The shouting and hustle and bustle soared into the sky.

"How many are there now?" Among the generals of the main battalion of the victorious army. Gao Yang sat on the platform, looked at Chen Fangliang on the side slightly, and asked out loud.

"Go back to the prince." After Chen Fangliang bowed and saluted, he said loudly, "More than 300 small boats have been built. As for the big ship, not yet. ”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "You don't need a big boat, these are enough." The Jurchens were also not good at water warfare. As long as you can block their way out and prevent them from escaping from the river. ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Fangliang replied loudly.

In the course of three days. The victorious army, which had already driven outside the capital of Shangjing, was not idle. The regular soldiers are resting. A large number of people brought a large number of cannon fodder of various ethnic groups to cut down trees in the surrounding woods. In addition to the construction of various siege equipment, a large number of small boats were also built to block the escape of the Jurchens from the river.

"You're almost rested, aren't you?" Gao Yang stood up with his hands behind his back. Qing Qing's cold gaze swept over the many generals in the military tent, looked at the eager expressions on their faces, smiled indifferently, and said softly, "Then let's start." ”

......

In the early morning, the morning glow is brilliant, like broken gold, dotted and sprinkled, and the warm sun bathes in the body of the person. In this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, the sound of dense and heavy footsteps gradually sounded. Pierce through the early morning mist. It reached the ears of the defenders of Shangjing City.

"Bell~~~" The continuous warning sound spread throughout the city. Numerous Jurchen soldiers hurried up the city walls and rushed to their respective battle posts, ready for the fierce battle that was coming.

As the morning sun gradually rises. The mist that blocked the view quickly cleared. What appeared in front of the defenders was a vast sea of people with a large number of black pressure as far as the eye could see!

Dressed in brilliant battle armor, Gao Yang, who was riding on a war horse, put down the telescope in his hand. Shaking his head slightly, he laughed and said, "I really don't know what these Jurchens think." With such strength, you still want to fight against me? It's a bit overwhelming. ”

"Don't judge others by your eyes." The voice of the origin rang out, "These may not be great things to you, but they are already very good in the eyes of these people. ”

"Maybe." Gao Yang replied casually, and raised the telescope in his hand again to look at Shangjing City in the distance. Looking through the binoculars at the Jin Jun running back and forth on the city wall, he frowned slightly and said, "Strange, how do you feel that many of those Jurchens are old people and children?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Origin continued his words and said, "Think about how many Jurchens can come out of the deep mountains and old forests? How many years have they been out? After you arrived here, after so many battles, how many Jurchen adult men died in your hands? ”

"There is truth to that." Gao Yang reached out and touched his chin. Squinting his eyes slightly, he said with a smile, "These people in the north have been thinking about going south for many years. Because the climate in the south is warm, not to mention suitable for survival. It can also provide a large amount of food to feed people. You look at the population of the Central Plains Dynasty, and compare theirs. It's so much worse. ”

"The main thing is that the living environment is different." The origin groaned slightly after a moment. Then he said, "The environment here is harsh, and if you want to survive, you need to be stronger. And if the living conditions in the south are good, people's hard work will decline. These are all relative things. ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang responded, nodded, and did not continue the topic. Stretching out his hand to cover his eyebrows and observing the battlefield for a while, he turned sideways and said to Chen Fangliang on the side, "Today's weather is good, so let's start." ”

Chen Fangliang bowed and saluted, and said loudly, "The last general will take orders!" ”

......

The tragic siege began. The first wave of attacks consisted of more than 5,000 Bohai people.

At the pre-war meeting before the start of the war. Gao Yang made it clear that whoever could be the first to attack the city would get the priority of distributing the spoils. And when you demarcate your living area in the future, you can also choose it first.

After such a large piece of cake was thrown out. Those poor scum, only one rotten cannon fodder left, were anxious on the spot. Everyone scrambled to be the first, crying and shouting, all wanting to take the lead. It's like I'm afraid that someone else will preempt me.

In the end, it was the Bohai people who got the opportunity to take the lead. They may have felt that the Jurchens were no longer good at it. As long as you fight and rush, it is not too difficult to capture the capital.

A middle-aged man with a strong body like a tiger and a leopard. Dressed in a spotted tiger skin coat, his skin is a healthy bronzer, his black hair is scattered, and his face is hideous. Wielding a huge war knife in his hand, he urged the Bohai people on the side to move forward quickly.

This man was a warrior among the Bohai people, and one of their rulers, named Zahe. However, Gao Yang thinks that he should be called a second goods.

Gao Yang was not stingy with the things seized from the Jurchens. He didn't keep it, but distributed it to these cannon fodder in large quantities. However, this zhahe is conceited and brave, and does not want to wear battle armor, and only likes to criticize his own leather clothes on the battlefield.

He was surrounded by a group of tall, burly men with shiny tendons and bulging muscles. All of them were warriors among the Bohai people, and each wanted to compete for the honor of being the first to rush to the top of the city. They also don't like to wear armor.

For these second-hand goods, Gao Yang is not even interested in taking care of them. This kind of person is in such a brutal siege battle, it must be a dead end. Gao Yang has no interest in caring about the idea of a group of dead people.

To provide the necessary support for these Bohai people were more than 1,000 Khitan archers, who were also a team of overseers.

Pushing a sturdy shield cart and carrying a long ladder. Thousands of Bohai people slowly approached one of the walls of Shangjing.

After these Bohai people came into range of bows and arrows. The sound of the bowstring plucking of "Woo Woo~~~" sounded one after another. With the order of the defenders, a dense rain of arrows flew on the city wall in an instant. With a whistling sound that pierced the air, he plunged into the ranks of the Bohai people.

Blood mist splattered, and the sound of screams and wails instantly resounded throughout the battlefield. The Bohai people, dressed in captured armor, were unable to resist the sharp bows and arrows, and soon suffered heavy losses.

The Jurchens themselves could not afford to use iron armor, and those Jurchens who used iron armor had already been consumed in the previous series of battles. Most of them are just leather armor.

And of course, these cannon fodder can only be equipped with leather armor. This kind of leather armor is faced with sharp arrows falling from the sky, and it really doesn't have much defensive effect.

However, the Bohai people who were hiding behind the shield cart were fine, but soon their trouble was coming.

In order to defend the capital, the Jurchens had already converted the city into a huge defensive fortress. Several deep trenches were dug outside the walls, and sharpened sticks were inserted into them. On both sides of the trench there are also horses and antlers buried deep in the earth. If you want to get close to the city walls, you have to clear these obstacles. But these are within the range of the archers on the walls!

Under the loud reprimand of the generals, the Bohai people who were hiding behind the shield cart finally reluctantly rushed out with their shields. Carrying the dense rain of arrows on the city walls, he began to pull out the antlers and reject the horses.

The Khitans who followed behind also began to shoot at the Jurchens on the city wall with bows and arrows to provide cover for those Bohai people. (To be continued)
