Chapter 490: The Man Who Defeated Song Jiang
"The Jin soldiers have finally retreated."
Tai Lieutenant Yao Youzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the Jin soldiers retreat like a tide.
This day's battle of Kaifeng was like a dream for Yao Pingzhong.
In the morning, under the expectation of Song Qinzong and a group of civil officials, Guo Jing, a celestial master who claimed to be able to perform the "Liujia Law" and "Bishamen Heavenly King Law" and deployed 7,777 people, ordered a group of market gangsters recruited from Kaifeng to go out from Xuanhuamen and engage the Jin soldiers.
At the same time, in order to allow the Heavenly Master to cast spells smoothly, Guo Jing asked the defenders of Xuanhuamen to go down to the city.
As a result, the spell did not succeed at all, and the so-called Liuding Liujia Heavenly Soldiers were defeated by the Jin soldiers with one blow, and the Jin soldiers also took the opportunity to occupy the Xuanhua Gate and drove straight in.
If it weren't for a group of real heavenly soldiers coming down and forcibly blocking the Jin soldiers, perhaps Kaifeng City would have been occupied by the strengthened Jin army.
The two sides fought fiercely until sunset, and the Jin soldiers saw that the sky was getting dark, and feared more losses, so they retreated to the strong outer city wall.
There are large siege equipment such as trebuchets, double-bow bed crossbows, and eight-ox crossbows on the outer city wall, and the Jin soldiers hold the outer city wall, which is equivalent to besieging the Song Emperor, the Song army, and the righteous army in Kaifeng City.
The biggest problem in Kaifeng City is that it was cut off from food by the Jin soldiers, and the surplus food in the city was not enough to support hundreds of thousands of people.
The grain and grass of Kaifeng City were transported from Jiangnan, Shandong and other places by Cao Yun, and the outer city was controlled by Jin soldiers, so the ships of Cao Yun could not enter Kaifeng City.
"No, the Jin soldiers haven't retreated yet, and they can attack the inner city again at any time. This time, we killed them by surprise, but soon they reacted and reorganized the offensive. ”
Chu Tian met with Taiwei Yao Youzhong, but he did not relax between his words.
He had already noticed that the Jin army had planned to use the dismounted Tiefutu to conquer the inner city in one fell swoop.
It is difficult for Chu Tian to judge how many levels of heavy infantry is equivalent to in the copy of "Battle of Jingkang" after Tiefutu dismounted, but its combat power must be above Yanjia, after all, Tiefutu has a 100% bonus of the system, the main general bonus of the Golden Vulture Technique, and the aura bonus of the whole army of Wanyan Zongwang, even if it is weakened after dismounting, the overall combat power is still extremely high.
However, the enemies faced by the Jin army were not only the defenders in Kaifeng City, but also the Song Dynasty reinforcements outside the city.
For example, in the Hebei area, there are Zongze, Han Shizhong, and Zhao Gou, and in the Guanzhong area, there are relatively elite Western troops in the Northern Song Dynasty.
To say that there are no reinforcements to support Kaifeng, it is not necessarily true.
For example, Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy Fan Zhixu and Sun Zhaoyuan, deputy governor of the West Road, and others, rode 200,000 together and came to support Kaifeng.
The deputy marshal of the Western Route Army of the Jin Kingdom finished Yan Lou's room and ordered the elite cavalry to attack the Song army, and the Song army was defeated without a fight, and more than half of the dead were killed.
These reinforcements were either routed, did not dare to advance, or were delayed by the detachments of golden soldiers who plundered all over the place.
The situation was quite dire for the defenders.
At present, Chu Tian is the life-saving benefactor of Taiwei Yao Youzhong, and he can rely on Yao Youzhong's relationship to carry out activities.
"Thanks to the generals of the rebel army this time, otherwise the inner city will definitely be destroyed by the golden soldiers. You are well aware of the righteousness and come to help, which is really the blessing of the country. These soldiers and armor in the city are not the same as your soldiers. ”
Yao Youzhong, who was born in the Yao family, saw that the soldiers of Chu Tian and others struggled to kill the strengthened Jin soldiers, and compared with the Song army and Baojia that he took over, it was simply a world of difference.
A good army is like a treasure to a general.
As a military general, he naturally hopes that he can command a strong army, not a rabble that lacks the will to fight.
The Song army was not poorly equipped, but it lacked morale, and once engaged, the Jin cavalry was crushed with a single blow.
Therefore, Yao Youzhong envied Chu Tian and their soldiers.
Chu Tian looked at Kaifeng City, which was in a mess and was still emitting black smoke: "We have to gather all the soldiers and horses and expel the Jin soldiers." ”
The outer city of Kaifeng was in chaos.
Not only were the Jin soldiers setting fire to and looting, but the Song army also took the opportunity to sack the outer city, and there were also a large number of indignant Kaifeng people in the outer city, and some of them killed hundreds of Jin soldiers in the chaos.
The people of Kaifeng hated the Jin soldiers who came to attack Kaifeng for the second time.
"I was almost killed by Jin Bing."
Liu Bei lay on the straw pile, because the divine doctor Bian Que who accompanied the army came to the rescue, so he was not killed.
The Golden Vulture used a powerful crossbow to sneak attack, almost changing the course of the Overworld.
"Big brother, these savages are not only brute force, but also extremely insidious. The next time I meet them, I'm going to stab them to death. ”
Zhang Fei was greatly annoyed, as if he didn't know where to go.
Liu Bei's army was severely damaged by the Golden Vulture and suffered two or three thousand casualties, and the lord Liu Bei was injured.
"It's a good thing it's a street fight, otherwise they might have been killed." Liu Bei was afraid for a while, and looked at Chen Xi, an inhuman military advisor who was familiar with the Jin people, "Military advisor, what should I do?" ”
"Only by joining forces with other state pastors can we deal with the Jin soldiers, and we must not fight on our own."
Chen Xi fought with the Jin army for the first time, and after a rough understanding of the strength of the Jin army, he found that all the princes in the Eastern Han region underestimated the strengthened Jin soldiers.
There are many pseudo-saints, pseudo-emperors, and pseudo-king-level generals in the pinnacle of the Jin Kingdom.
If Guan Yu, Wang Meng, Wu Han and other generals were present, Liu Beijun would be able to fight with the Jin army.
Otherwise, they will join forces with other princes.
"That makes sense."
Liu Bei supported his body and went to Longjin Bridge to join Chu Tian and the others.
Now the outer city has become a buffer area and battlefield for the Jin and Song armies, and there are a large number of civilians.
The cavalry advantage of the Jin soldiers could not be brought into play, and once the two sides fought, most of the outer city of Kaifeng would be razed to the ground.
"Let's go to Suzaku Gate and join the defenders."
Sun Jian led the Jiangdong Army, and Xie Xuan's Beifu Army, after repelling the Jin soldiers, had similar thoughts to Liu Beijun, and they sought out other princes to deal with the Jin army together.
Zhou Tai fought with General Jin and suffered several heavy injuries, but he didn't even frown.
On the way, there were also Song troops looting civilians.
A group of Song army routs came out of a large household, carrying vases and cloth in their arms.
Tongque led the Beifu army to pass by, and when he saw this group of Song soldiers, he was immediately angry. He gave Liu Gaozhi, the fierce general of the Beifu Army, a look.
Liu Gaozhi drew his sword and killed all the Song soldiers in this small group.
The Han princes acted without the background of the Song Dynasty, and only relied on their own values and preferences, and acted recklessly.
They were unhappy to see that this group of Song troops was defeated, so they killed them anyway, anyway, when the "Battle of Jingkang" ended, they left Kaifeng City.
In other words, if they are unhappy with the Dog Emperor, they can also chop the Dog Emperor.
The theory is the theory, if the Song Emperor is really killed, if it is judged to fail by the system, then the loss will be too great.
A group of princes gathered outside the Vermilion Bird Gate in the inner city of Kaifeng, with strong soldiers and strong horses, waving flags.
This group of princes of the Han Empire combined had more than 100,000 troops.
Compared with the weak Song army and the armor-defending militia with no combat experience, these generals and soldiers were warriors who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood in the Shura Field, and when they stood in place, there was an invisible aura of slaughter!
The tens of thousands of Song troops gathered by Yao Youzhong looked submissive in front of the real division of a hundred battles, and as for the other armor guards, they were even more afraid.
At the same time as the princes of the Han army gathered, the generals of the Song army in Kaifeng gathered their own soldiers and temporarily controlled the troops. The chaos in the outer city has finally subsided.
One of the Song generals came with a group of soldiers, drenched in blood and angry.
Yao Youzhong pointed to the Song general and said to Chu Tian: "This is the signing of the Privy Council Zhang Shuye, not long ago with his sons Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong led 30,000 people to help. The regular sergeants in the city are mostly Zhang Shuye's soldiers. The rest of the forces are dominated by the armed militia. ”
"Uncle Zhang?!"
The princes of the Han army who were present and those who knew Zhang Shuye couldn't help but associate him with Song Jiang in Liangshanbo.
When Zhang Shuye was the governor of Haizhou, Song Jiang led the army to Haizhou, Zhang Shuye set up an ambush, Song Jiang's army was defeated, the deputy marshal was captured, and Song Jiang was forced to surrender.
This is the real Songjiang rebel army, which was defeated by Zhang Shuye in a battle.
So this is the man in front of him who defeated Song Jiang.
Now Uncle Zhang is in his sixties, his head is bleeding, he is angry, his hair is gray, but the green tendons on his forehead are bursting up, and he is carrying a blood-dripping Yanling knife.
"Lord Zhang, the Jin soldiers are temporarily retreating, they should be celebrated, you are ......"
Yao Youzhong saw that Uncle Zhang's eyes were red, and he thought to himself that something must have happened, otherwise Uncle Zhang would not have lost his mind.
Zhang Shuye's second son, Zhang Zhongxiong, supported Zhang Shuye and gritted his teeth: "Heavenly Master Guo Jing is a liar, his Liujia method was defeated by the Jin cavalry in one blow, and the Jin soldiers captured the city gate!" My father and brother were in the city gate tower with Guo Jing at that time, Guo Jing slipped away under the pretext, and my father and brother fell into a siege, and finally my brother was killed in battle, and my father was also injured! ”
No wonder Uncle Zhang, who had defeated Song Jiang, was furious, as his eldest son had been killed in a battle with Jin Bing.
If this happens to anyone, they will be angry.
"Guo Jing was originally just a small soldier, claiming that he had a spell and could capture Jin to retreat from the enemy, but His Majesty and the Privy Council of Tongzhi ordered him to cast spells and ordered soldiers to go out of the city to fight. But, he's just a liar with a wild mouth! ”
Zhang Zhongxiong explained the reason to everyone.
The generals of the Song army were silent.
At that time, Guo Jing cast a spell, and everyone may not have had a trace of luck.
In case Guo Jing really knew how to spell, then the Jin soldiers who terrified all the Song soldiers would retreat.
However, their illusions were shattered.
The butcher's knife of the golden soldier is above feudal superstition.
It is obvious that Guo Jing is just a liar, not only does he not know how to spell, but also allows the defenders to leave the city walls, allowing the Jin soldiers to capture this fortified city.
How difficult it is to attack the giant city, Chu Tian and Zhao Long have the right to speak.
As long as there are enough defenders and sufficient food, it will not be a problem to hold a giant city for a year or two. Chutian besieged Yecheng and Zhao Long besieged Taiyuan, but they failed to capture it for several months.
Sun Jian's people were overwhelming, and it took more than a month to attack a medium-sized city in Hefei, but he was stunned.
And Song Qinzong and a group of ministers hurriedly operated, and directly handed over the strongest Kaifeng outer city to Jin Bing.
You must know that the outer city of Kaifeng City has a moat, an outer city wall, an urn city, a horse face, a trebuchet, an arrow tower, a crossbow and other fortifications and defensive equipment.
Under normal circumstances, the Jin soldiers attacked with all their might, but they may not be able to take it.
Even if the golden soldiers in this battle are strengthened, they will not be able to take advantage.
Chu Tian said: "It's really ridiculous, throughout the ages, I haven't heard of anyone who can win by spells. Except, of course, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu......"
The other Han princes also nodded.
When the Jin soldiers went south, they didn't think about how to strengthen the defense and deploy reinforcements, but believed in the warlocks, which was confusing.
Although there is inevitability in history, there are countless accidents in inevitability.
"Where is Guo Jing? I'm going to kill him! ”
Uncle Zhang is now furious, if he catches Guo Jing, he will probably go down with a knife and give Guo Jing a knot.
Yao Youzhong said: "Lord Zhang, please mourn and change. The soldiers in the city are in chaos, and Guo Jing is just a clown who jumps off the beam. If you catch him, you don't need to do anything, I'll help you kill him. ”
Yao Youzhong, as a disciple of Jiangmen, also had a little arrogance in his heart, he heard that Zhang Shuye's son was indirectly killed by Guo Jing and died, so he pulled out his sword and gestured.
A Song soldier came out from the Vermilion Bird Gate in the inner city: "Ladies and gentlemen, Guo Jing has fled back to the inner city, and His Majesty has decided to reward Guo Jing with 100,000 gold silks and grant him a festival envoy!" ”
