Chapter 652: Siege on all sides
When the army was attacking the city, Yang Zaixing was behind the big array, and kept roaring: "Give me the siege, whoever dares to retreat, behead!"
When Yang Zaixing roared, he even wanted to go into battle in person, and some grassland tribal leaders surrounded Yang Zaixing, and they also continued to command the soldiers of the clan to rush and kill, although the grassland people were not good at attacking the city, but at this time they couldn't take care of much.

When Yang Zaixing besieged Taizhou, Yue Fei led the army to continue to advance, straight to Zhaozhou Mansion, Yue Fei left Yang Zaixing with 5,000 Song cavalry and 60,000 grassland soldiers, and led the army to continue to advance.
Along the lines of Taizhou and Zhaozhou, countless grassland cavalry slaughtered and cleaned up those Jurchen scouts and cavalry, so that the army could easily reach Zhaozhou Mansion.
This place where Zhaozhou meets the Nenjiang River, the Mingtong River and the Songwa River is the strongest and most dangerous city in Huining Province.
When Yue Fei's army came to the Tongtong River, the Jurchen general Bo Da, who was stationed in Zhaozhou, sent a large army to garrison the river, and waited until Yue Fei's army attacked halfway through.
Facing the Jurchen army on the opposite side, mixed with the craftsmen on the river to build arrow towers and pile up dirt slopes, condescendingly shot at the opposite side, when the two armies shot at each other, a puppet several feet tall slowly entered the river and began to build pontoons.
Ships galloped down from the upstream, and when they shot arrows at the opposite side, they also slowly gathered together, connected the ships together with iron chains, and immediately erected iron plates on the ships, and slowly formed a bridge, and the sailors on the ships also quickly fished water from the river to water the warships, watering the warships, and at the same time assuming iron plates around the warships to block the rockets shot by the Jurchens, after the pontoons and bridges were quickly erected, tens of thousands of soldiers of the grassland tribes held high the big shields, and slowly rushed away against countless arrows.
With a bang, the Jurchens began to throw boulders with catapults, smashed them on the bridge, and with a bang, smashed the steel plates in the hands of some soldiers, and many pontoons were also smashed, and many huge puppets had to repair the warships.
When Yue Fei stood on the hillside in the distance and saw this scene, he shouted to the tribal leaders around him: "Let your cavalry charge me, the foot soldiers are too slow!"
Looking at the tight defense on the opposite side, many tribal leaders knew that once they rushed and killed, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, but now they couldn't care about anything, and the life and death of the tribe might be in the performance at this time.
In Yue Fei's roar, these tribal leaders also shouted, and in an instant, each tribe sent cavalry to rush directly along the bridge.
Poof!
In an instant, countless cavalry were shot by arrows, and fell into the water, and some were directly smashed out by boulders, and for a time these cavalry of the grassland suffered heavy casualties, but in Yue Fei's cold gaze, many tribal cavalry had to rush forward to kill, and tens of thousands of troops slowly crossed the river and occupied the river in the rapid attack of the cavalry.
When occupying the river, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty followed closely and directly scattered the soldiers guarded by the Jurchens.
Gao Ruli, the Jurchen general who intercepted Yue Fei's army, saw the Great Song army that was constantly rushing and killing, and shouted with an ugly face: "Go, go back to Zhaozhou City!"
The Jurchen cavalry immediately straddled their horses and fled into the distance, and the leaders of several tribes roared angrily: "General, let us hunt down these people!"
Yue Fei looked at these cavalrymen who wanted to beat the water dogs, and said coldly: "Give you a task, expel all the Jurchens around Zhaozhou City into the city, or kill them, I don't want to see any of the Jurchen cavalry still hanging outside the city!"
Hearing Yue Fei's words, a leader of the grassland didn't understand: "General, once all the Jurchen cavalry enters the city, will it increase the difficulty of attacking the city?"
When Yue Fei heard the words of this leader, he said coldly: "It's okay to execute!"
When Yue Fei spoke, he said to Niu Gao beside him, "Let the artillery prepare, Your Majesty wants to see how powerful these artillery are!"
Niu Gao looked at Yue Fei in front of him, and couldn't help but persuade a little: "General, are you too nervous, the fall of the Jurchens is inevitable, as long as the army is successfully pushed over, this huge Dajin can be overturned, after all, the current Jurchens are no longer the Jurchens of the past!"
Yue Fei looked at Niu Gao, his tense expression relaxed slightly, and said: "Don't slack off at all, three large armies, we are the closest to Huining Mansion, if the other two armies are the first to attack Huining Mansion, how can I be worthy of Your Majesty's trust, and this time the army must attack the city quickly, otherwise it will lose too much national strength!"
When Yue Fei said this, his eyes looked at Zhaozhou City in the distance, and his face became more and more cold.
Niu Gao looked at Yue Fei, turned around and began to order, the army advanced towards Zhaozhou City, this advance, a huge artillery cast of red bronze with the support of war horses and huge puppets towards Zhaozhou, at this time the armies of the major tribes also continued to kill and drive away the Jurchens who were ambushed outside the city, and the entire Zhaozhou City was full of Jurchen soldiers.
Seeing the style of the Great Song army, Bo Da who was stationed in the city was full of curiosity: "What are these Song people doing? Driving a large number of people into the city doesn't make it more difficult for them to attack the city, but does it want to increase the number of people in the city and consume grain and grass?"
When Bo Da whispered and was puzzled, several lieutenants beside him sneered: "Dashuai, over the years, we have accumulated a lot of grain, built high walls, stored a lot of grain and grass in the city, and built a strong city, these Song people are afraid that they will miscalculate! If they divide their troops again, they will not have enough troops to conquer Huining Mansion!"
"It can't be that simple!"
When Bo Da was puzzled, a sharp-eyed general's face changed and pointed to the distance and said, "Dashuai, these Song people have launched a lot of artillery? Do they want to use artillery against us!"
Over the years, the Jurchens also knew about these cannons cast by the Great Song Dynasty.
Bo Da shook his head and said: "Impossible, the artillery of the Song people is just an iron cast giant bullet, and the thickness of our city wall is enough to resist, especially the artillery that has strengthened the city wall against the Song people over the years, it is impossible for the Song people not to know about it!"
When Bo Da said, the artillery outside the city rumbled, making a huge roar, and in the roar, the Jurchens on the city wall were all hiding in the female wall, which was also the way they knew to dodge the artillery, but just when they thought they could dodge, the sky trembled, and the city wall was directly shattered, and the red flames rose in this shattering, and the broken city walls directly turned into nothingness, and many soldiers were caught off guard and flew out.
