Chapter 494: The counterattack begins (2 in 1)

The Song Army cavalry swept past, and one military commander shot and killed hundreds of golden soldiers. This small group of golden soldiers swept across the field and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The Song Army has few large-scale cavalry units, but a few Song Army generals who lead the cavalry in battle are not inferior to the Jin Army!

A small Song army cavalry leader said: "The general is very brave, but unfortunately there are only three hundred cavalry. If the general has thirty thousand cavalry, he can easily defeat the Kingdom of Jin and relieve Kaifeng."

Young General Song Jun was silent.

The Song Kingdom is now on the verge of extinction. Where can we organize 30,000 elite cavalry?

This small group of Song soldiers came to the Yellow River and found Jin Bing's camp.

The main force of the Golden Army surrounded Kaifeng. In addition, there was also a partial division of the Golden Army stationed north of the Yellow River to block reinforcements from Hebei.

After crossing the Yellow River and marching for a few days, you will arrive in Kaifeng.

But only the Jinbing division on the north bank of the Yellow River, after being strengthened, the Song Army cavalry with no more than 300 men can be expelled.

Unless Zhao Gou and the soldiers and horses from all over the north go south in time to encircle the Jin army.

However, the reinforcements from various places did not cooperate. There were clearly hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rebels in Hebei, but they were always lingering and delayed by the partial division of the Jin Army.

Young General Song Jun looked at the rolling Yellow River. His position was humble. He was just a general under the command of the leader of the rebel army.

In the inner city of Kaifeng, Chu Tian was sitting leisurely in a wine shop, the shopkeeper cautiously waiting for the heavenly soldiers sent from the sky. It is said that among this group of heavenly soldiers and generals, there are also people from the Western Heavenly Court, otherwise, how could there be two blonde girls sitting in the wine shop.

"Le Yi is training soldiers. All equipment, arrows, and crossbows have been moved out. The time for counterattack is coming."

Chu Tian was blocked by the Jinjun in Kaifeng for a long time, and he was used to it.

The Han army, Song army and Jin army saw the outer city, temporarily unable to beat the inner city.

Song Qinzong was taken to the wine shop by Chu Tian. Song Qinzong is now wearing civilian clothes, so that the shopkeeper of the wine shop can't recognize this as their emperor.

"You know, if we are not here, you will be taken captive by the Golden Soldiers, and your wife and daughter will become slaves of the Golden Soldiers and be cast aside for the rest of your life?"

Chu Tian beat Song Qinzong.

Song Qinzong was terrified as a tiger to the general, and at this time he only promised: "The map of the Golden Soldier is just a little land and cloth north of the Yellow River. As long as the conditions of the Golden Soldier are met, they will definitely withdraw.

Chu Tian said: "Last year Jinbing moved to Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian provinces. This year it will have a few more residences and next year it will have a few more residences. How many residences do you have that can compensate Jinbing?

Song Qinzong hesitated: "The golden man just wants to draw a river with me to rule."

The river referred to by Song Qinzong was the Yellow River.

"There is not enough human heart to swallow the elephant. You would not really believe that the golden people are only satisfied with the north of the Yellow River? If so, why do they repeatedly plunder southward?"

"Only by using force to beat the Golden Soldiers into fear, and causing them to suffer heavy losses every time they go out, can they understand what fear is."

Chu Tian had time to reprimand Song Qinzong to relieve his hatred.

As for Song Huizong, he was criticized by other princes.

Song Qinzong was silent.

The Song Dynasty was poor and weak for a long time. The internal emphasis was on culture and military. The outer Yanyun sixteen states were seized by Liao and Jin, the Hetao area was occupied by Xixia, and the excellent horse production areas were lost.

In short, there are so many problems that it is difficult for Chu Tian to talk to Song Qinzong one by one, and he is unwilling to change. This is just a battle.

Song Qinzong, who was under house arrest, was brought to drink, just to give a speech and vent.

Suddenly, there was the sound of gongs and drums from the outer city, Chu Tian was moved, and Jin Bing launched an attack!

The strengthened Jin Army attacked strongly, and the two Jin Guo coaches had full confidence in their army. When they found that Song Jun was unwilling to surrender, they decided to storm the inner city.

The Jin Jun went south, in fact, he also exhausted his national strength, and was unwilling to return empty-handed.

"Bring him back to the little black room and continue to reflect."

Chu Tian asked the guards to take away the only promised Song Qinzong and close the small black house.

And he personally led Joan of Arc and Altria to guard the Longjin Bridge.

Jin Guo's battle flag was displayed, and the two Jin Guo coaches launched another fierce attack on the inner city.

The bed crossbow and catapult were pushed into the city by the golden soldiers, and the stones and crossbow arrows roared and smashed into the Han and Song troops near Longjin Bridge.

Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army was hit by rocks and crossbow arrows, killing and wounding dozens of people.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin used the wind to set fire, and the fire swept towards Longjin Bridge.

Realizing that the situation was not good, the Jin army rushed to attack the city, and even used the fire to attack the Han and Song army and set fire to the outer city.

The billowing smoke mixed with Jin Bing's arrow rain, the Han and Song troops fell into a passive position.

The two coaches, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, were waiting for the wind direction to change. Once the wind direction changed, they set fire immediately.

"Ling Wang Bolong, Pu Cha Shijie, and Gao Biao, led the heavy infantry to attack Longjin Bridge, take this bridge in one fell swoop, and attack Zhuquemen!"

Wanyan Zongwang sent a group of military generals of the Eastern Route.

"Let Wanyan Yinshu Ke, Wanyan rush to see the generals and attack Lijingmen!"

Wanyan Zonghan personally led the West Route Army generals to attack another city gate.

Two soldiers and horses attacked at the same time, mixed with pseudo-saint-level fierce generals.

Jin Wushu personally led the Tiefutu on standby. The Tiefutu was covered by iron armor. The square armor was covered with heavy ridges, and the two iron pockets showed only two eyes. His eyes were murderous.

After dismounting, this high-ranking heavy cavalry became a heavy infantry, serving as a trump card for the reserve team and the golden men to attack the inner city.

The Longjin Bridge was jointly guarded by Chutian, Lao Qin, and Mingguan. Lu Xiangsheng's three thousand-day heroes sat at Longjin Bridge Zuoying. They were violently attacked by the trebuchets and crossbows and retreated to Longjin Bridge.

The thick smoke obscured the sight of the Han and Song troops, putting the Han and Song troops in crisis.

Dozens of war horses rushed out of the smoke, all wearing heavy armor. Jin Guojun Wang Bolong, Pu Cha Shijie, and Gao Biao joined forces to lead a small group of Iron Buddha to assault Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army!

Gao Biao's mace fell, the spear of the Tianxiong Army broke, and the horse-clad war horse burst into the Tianxiong Army!

The mace swept across, and several Tianxiong Army soldiers were killed!

Pu Cha Shijie was innocent, dismounted and fought, and the ground trembled. With his own powerful force, he knocked down the refusal and brick walls along the way!

This squad of Tiefutu is a soldier and horse separated by Jinwushu, holding a hammer, wherever it goes, it is inaccessible!

A soldier of the Tianxiong Army armed with a gun was knocked away by Tiefutu. He looked up in horror and saw a heavy hammer fall!

Tiefutu's heavy armor was stained with blood.

However, the Tianxiong army who had replaced the gods' arm bows was organizing a counterattack. In one round, the gods' arm bows were shot, and several iron Buddha statues were filled with crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.

At close range, the intensive strike damage of the God Arm Bow is not low, even if it is the Iron Buddha.

"Pseudo-Holy General..."

Lu Xiangsheng knew that the Tianxiong Army equipped with a divine arm bow was still not the opponent of the pseudo-sage-level warrior. Wang Bolong’s sword had already killed hundreds of Tianxiong Army soldiers. He had a few arrows in his body, but he didn’t mean to fall. Courageous.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong army to retreat to Longjin Bridge.

The Han and Song troops deployed a bed crossbow on the other side of the river. Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was chased by the Jin soldiers, the Song army immediately manipulated the bed crossbow and sniped the Jin soldiers!

Although Song Jun generally lacked the courage to fight hand-to-hand, it was still possible to use long-range weapons.

The Song Jun furiously pulled the winch and pulled the crossbow open. The huge tension caused the crossbow arrow to burst out of the air, and shot at the Jin Kingdom and Tiefutu on the other side!

The crossbow arrows screamed, Bohai fierce general Gao Biao shook his mace, his arms soared, and burst out with powerful force, he even knocked the thick crossbow arrows shot from the bed crossbow into the air!

The terrifying force of the pseudo-saint-level generals made the Song army on the other side dumbfounded.

No wonder Lu Xiangsheng was assaulted by the Jin army alone and had to retreat.

The bed crossbow is difficult to kill the false saint-level fierce generals, but for other generals of the Golden Army and the Iron Buddha, this is a big killer. When shot by the bed crossbow, even the Iron Buddha will directly kill.

The bed crossbow is a weapon that can be used to siege a city. It is superimposed with two large bows or three large bows, and the tension is amazing.

Because the bed crossbow became powerful, it temporarily slowed the offensive of a group of Goryeo warriors and Tiefutu.

Li Chengliang led Guan Ning's iron cavalry, armed with three-eyed fire guns, and used firearms to support the Tianxiong Army.

Row after row of three-eyed fire blasts sounded, and several iron Buddha statues rushing to the front were shot and killed by lead projectiles.

At the rear, the pseudo-sage-level warlords Wang Bolong, Pu Cha Shijie, and Gao Biao, as well as a small group of death squads composed of golden generals, hesitated to see this strange weapon.

The armor-piercing damage of a firearm is higher than that of a crossbow. If it is hit at close range by that kind of thing, even a general will be injured.

"The fire is about to spread and retreat to the north of Longjin Bridge!"

Already, the princes of the Han army were present, and the defenders south of Longjin Bridge were ordered to retreat.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry and Tianxiong army retreated, Song Army's crossbow troops were still shooting at Jin Bing, while Li Guang led the Acoustic Shooting Battalion to cover, and the arrows of the Acoustic Shooting Battalion poured into the Golden Soldiers.

"Occupy Longjin Bridge!"

The head of the East Route Army, Wan Yan Zongwang, personally led a group of heavy infantry, and followed the retreating Lu Xiangsheng and Li Chengliang to attack. The units in contact between the two sides began to fight violently, and soldiers were killed every moment!

Because of the command of the coach, Wang Bolong and other pseudo-saint-level fierce generals grew courageous, and plunged into the Guanning cavalry!

Guan Ning's cavalry was shooting with three-eyed firecrackers, and the white smoke from the burning of black powder was filled. Among them, Gao Biao's shoulder armor was shot by lead catapult, but Gao Biao's barbaric blood was activated and broke into Guanning's cavalry. Quartet!

The mace full of iron cones smashed Guan Ning's cavalry from the horse, and even killed the man and the horse together!

Pu Cha Shijie mounted his horse and used a bow and arrow to shoot and kill dozens of Guanning cavalry. He was a sharpshooter himself. After his force increased by 5 points, the armor of Guanning cavalry was shot through by him himself!

Wang Bolong dragged a long knife, slashing and overturning Guanning's cavalry one after another, there was no enemy in one!

These three people were originally just reckless generals with a force of 95 or above, but after the force of +5 in the Battle of Jingkang, they became pseudo-saint-level generals. When used as a sharp knife for breakthrough, it was extremely terrifying!

When Wan Yan Zongwang threw these three fierce men into the attack on Longjin Bridge, he realized that the defenders in the inner city were accumulating strength to fight back.

Before the inner city defenders are fully prepared, they must be destroyed!

Now Wanyan Zongwang has regretted it. When he first fought with the Han army, why didn't he defeat the Han army in one go?

Perhaps Wanyan Zongwang did not expect that the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty would directly hijack Emperor Song and reorganize the defense of Kaifeng City in the name of Emperor Song.

In short, Wanyan Zong hopes to regret it.

So Wanyan Zongwang must take down the inner city as soon as possible.

Chu Tian took Joan of Arc and Altria to the Vermilion Gate, and found that the Jin Army, the Han Army, and the Song Army were sawing in the Longjin Bridge area, the pseudo-holy warriors sent by the Jin Army and the Iron Float squad of hundreds of people Serving as the main force, violently attacked Longjin Bridge, thousands of Tianxiong Army and Guanning Iron Cavaliers have been killed.

The high-level arms were killed and injured in a short period of time, showing the power of the pseudo-saint-level generals.

Almost all the Han soldiers fought with the Jin Army, while the Song Army used bed crossbows and god-arm bows for long-range shooting. The Han army deployed a sound shooting camp and a large number of god-arm bows on the opposite bank of the Cai River. The Tiefu Tu of a hundred people was also killed and injured half.

"Burn down the Longjin Bridge!"

Chu Tian saw that the Jin Jun fierce general was about to break through Longjin Bridge, if they were to gain a firm foothold north of Longjin Bridge, such a big thing would be bad.

"The final general led the knight army to expel the golden soldiers."

King Arthur offered to fight.

"No, it's not the time to counterattack. The Knight Legion is one of the cards. The God Arm Bow will force the Golden Soldier back."

Chutian always retained the Knight Corps as a reserve team.

After precise calculations and formations, the Han army aimed at Longjin Bridge with three thousand god-arm bows and ten bed crossbows. When the fierce general Gao Biao held a mace and led the cavalry to cut through the defenders of Longjin Bridge, he waited. His is a dense rain of arrows!

The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty understood the concept of crossfire. The crossbow troops used a wild goose formation to shoot at Gao Biao and his team of Iron Buddha!

The infantry pulled the crossbow, and the intensive rain of arrows covered Gao Biao and his small team of Iron Buddha!

Gao Biao quickly swung his mace to withstand the arrow rain!

Under the blow of the crossfire, almost every war horse and soldier had a few crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, and about sixty iron Buddha statues were wiped out!

Gao Biao shot three arrows in his body, but instead of being killed, he fled back.

Even a pseudo-saint-level general would not dare to say that he was alone, blocking the next round of volleys of three thousand god-arm bows and ten bed crossbows.

The Han army made up their minds to burn Longjin Bridge.

The fire covered Longjin Bridge, the wooden bridge leading to Zhuquemen was burned down, and black smoke rose.

Part of the Golden Army's heavy infantry was anxious, and simply stepped on the frozen Cai River, trying to kill to the other side.

However, they overestimated the thickness of the Caihe ice layer. When they walked to the middle of the Caihe river, the ice layer could not withstand the trampling of dozens of heavy infantry. It quickly split and dozens of heavy infantry fell into the river and were frozen to death.

"idiot!"

Wanyanzong saw that a group of his subordinates were seeking a dead end, only shook his head.

The Longjin Bridge was destroyed, and the Jin army was unable to take the opportunity to take down the Zhuque Gate for a while, so they could only try to build a floating bridge or attack other inner city gates.

"The same weapon fell in the hands of this group of people, completely different from the hands of the Song Army."

Wan Yan Zongwang discovered that the Song Army’s weapons were in the hands of the Han Army. The Han Army perfectly used the range and shooting angle of the Divine Arm Bow to deploy. Coupled with the stubborn will of the Han Army, it can often severely damage the Golden Soldier and fight the Song before the Golden Soldier. The army is completely different.

The vast majority of the Han princes practiced the military merit system, and the higher their military merit, the higher their status in the army. Moreover, the position of military commanders is not weaker than that of civil servants, but higher, so the army is warlike.

On the contrary, the morale of the Forbidden Army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty was very moving, and it was often pursued and killed by dozens or hundreds of golden soldiers.

Wanyan Zongwang advanced to Longjin Bridge, only a short distance from the inner city, unable to move forward. In order to reach the Suzaku Gate, he almost ransacked the houses near the Royal Street, and at the same time set fire to the surrounding houses, forcing the Han and Song troops to retreat, thus occupying the outer city.

However, Wanyan Zongwang found that the Han and Song troops were not depressed by the sudden fierce attack of the Jin soldiers.

Although the Jin soldiers had occupied almost the entire outer city of Kaifeng and demolished the fortifications of the Han and Song troops in the streets and alleys of the outer city, the Han troops did not panic.

Jin Bing wanted to capture the inner city again, and the difficulty increased. The inner city has towering walls and a lot of defensive equipment.

"The granaries in the outer city have all been occupied by us. I don't believe they can support them for more than a month!"

Wanyanzong saw that the inner city was strong and difficult to attack, but the Jinbing had never been good at attacking fortifications and had to besiege instead of attacking.

Jin Wushu led Tiefutu to Wanyan Zongwang's side: "Second brother, we are fighting head-on, no one is our opponent, but Song people often shrink in the city, avoiding fighting. Wanyan Yinshu's West Route Army is in order to capture It took nine months for Taiyuan City, so that the West Route Army slaughtered the city after the city was trapped. This time, surrounding Kaifeng’s inner city may not be able to be captured for a few months. When the weather gets hot, we will have to return north. ."

Wan Yan Zongwang had no idea: "You are wrong. Do you think I ordered the burning of my outer city just to occupy the outer city? The people from the outer city poured into the inner city in large numbers. I am afraid that within a month, they will Surrender to us."

After listening to Yan Zongwang’s vicious tactics, Jin Wushu’s eyes lit up, but then he was worried: “The Song Dynasty’s military marshal Zhao Gou is recruiting reinforcements at the Daming Mansion. I heard that his strength has exceeded 100,000. If we rush to Kaifeng within this month, our army will be under attack from inside and outside."

Wanyan Zongwang was indifferent: "Wu Shu, remember that the internal struggle of the Song people is far more serious than we thought. Our majesty can safely use the clan as a military commander, but the Song people dare not because their emperor is afraid of being emptied."

"It's not just that they don't trust the clan, but the Zhao family doesn't trust generals, so the soldiers don't know the generals, they won't know the soldiers, and they won repeatedly. If there is an enemy in the Song army that you can't deal with, you don't even have to face it. In confrontation, as long as you use the infighting between Song people, you can eradicate your enemies."

"This time Zhao Gou recruited soldiers because Emperor Song had to do it, because only Zhao Gou's clan was outside the city of Kaifeng. Zhao Gou is like a sea jumping from a fish and birds flying in the sky. He must have his own strength. How can he easily support Kaifeng? ?"

Wanyan Zongwang's indoctrination was imprinted in Jin Wushu's mind.

However, Jin Wushu was a little puzzled: "Will there be a general in the cowardly Song Army that I am afraid of? One day, I need to use the infighting between the Song people to eradicate it?"

Standing on the gate tower of Zhuquemen, Chu Tian saw the outer city of Kaifeng City reduced to a sea of ​​flames.

The two coaches of the Kingdom of Jin have experienced numerous battles from Liaodong to Kaifeng, and naturally they have their own advantages. Facing the iron-bucket-like defenses of the Han and Song troops, they chose the opposite wind direction and set fire to attack.

There are many wooden houses in the outer city of Kaifeng.

It is estimated that when this war is over, Kaifeng's status has plummeted, and the place that is about to rise is Suzhou and Hangzhou.

According to the historical process, Zhao Gou, the Marshal of the World Army, almost did not fight with the main force of the Golden Army during the Battle of Jingkang. Instead, he fled to Henan to become emperor and then to Hangzhou to establish the Southern Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for the emergence of a group of famous anti-gold generals such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie, perhaps the Southern Song Dynasty would soon be destroyed by the southern Jinwu technique.

The Southern Song Dynasty's ability to block the fierce offensive of the Kingdom of Jin was also related to the fact that the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin did not adapt to the southern climate.

These are all real things, and Chu Tian was too anxious.

He didn't even plan to rely on Zhao Gou's reinforcements. The Han army only needed to mobilize the war potential of Kaifeng City to defeat the Jin army.

The Jin army burned almost half of the outer city and seized the granary in the outer city.

Almost all the people in Kaifeng City poured into the inner city.

In less than a month, the surplus food in the inner city and the palace will run out.

In other words, the entire population of Kaifeng City has been driven to a desperate situation.

The house was burned down, the people were angry, the food and grass were all gone, the people were afraid, and the people's hearts were available.

The time to fight back has come!

"Tomorrow, 50,000 Song soldiers and 200,000 Baojia will be mobilized in Daxiangguo Temple to inform everyone that all the food is seized by the Golden Soldiers. Only by defeating the Golden Soldiers and taking back the granary can you survive!"

Chu Tian and other princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty naturally had grain and grass in their hands, occupying the granary in the inner city.

But they can't let these hungry people know that there is still food, and they must be driven to ruin.

In order to confuse Jin Bing, Chu Tian asked Jin Bing to send envoys to the city for negotiations the next day.

Jin Bing really tried to negotiate with the defenders in the inner city, and sent two envoys tentatively.

About three to four hundred thousand people gathered in the Daxiangguo Temple in the inner city, crowded with people. Among them, 200,000 people had undergone short-term training by generals such as Le Yi, Xie Xuan, Chang Yuchun, and Sun Jian. It was no longer as chaotic as before.

"Golden soldiers burned our houses, burned and looted!"

"All the food in the city has been snatched by the golden soldiers. Our food can only be supported for two days! After two days, the inner city will run out of food!"

"Jin Bing has already threatened to break the inner city and slaughter the city in three days!"

Under the planning of counselor Chen Ping, Fang Xuanling, and a group of princes, soldiers mixed into the civilians, constantly agitating the civilians of Kaifeng City, and driving them to a desperate situation!

Now, all civilians are on the brink of explosion at any time because of anger and fear, waiting for a fire to be thrown in!

At this moment, the deceived Jin Bing sent two envoys for negotiations.

Chen Ping pointed to the two golden ambassadors and shouted to everyone: "These two are running dogs for the golden man. They are ordered by the golden man to ask you to surrender your wives and daughters and let them bully. What should we do!"

"Kill them!!"

"Kill them!!"

An angry roar echoed over Kaifeng City. The long-term dissatisfaction accumulated by the civilians in Kaifeng City broke out. The two hundred thousand Baojia who was in anger overwhelmed the two gold envoys. The two hapless gold envoys were killed by the Baojia before they had time to explain!

This is not the first time that Jin Bing has attacked and opened a closed city. They must teach Jin Bing a heavy lesson before they dare to come again for the third time!

Chutian, Lao Qin, Mingguan, Tongque and other princes looked at each other and saw the timing of counterattack in each other's eyes.

Two hundred thousand Baojia, and even fifty thousand Song Jun, who is usually like a soft egg, broke out in a white lie!

Popular anger is like a flood that bursts a dyke. Once it breaks out, they must find a catharsis!

If they were not given a target to vent their anger, they would ruthlessly destroy everything they saw!

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin, Ming Guan and other Huzhou have already planned to give the 50,000 Song Army and 200,000 Baojia the target-Jin Bing!

"Open the Lijing Gate, Wangchun Gate, Chongming Gate, and Zhuque Gate wide and divide the troops into four groups to counterattack!"

"Expelling Jinbing and regaining Bianjing!"

The four city gates opened wide, and the mighty Song Army and Baojia rushed out of the outer city like a scourge out of control!

Joan of Arc waved the holy flag. The holy flag has a 25% incentive bonus. She can actually boost the morale of this group of civilians!

Encouraged by Joan of Arc, most of the 200,000 Baojias showed madness in their eyes. After their morale was strengthened, they would no longer be so easily defeated!

Chu Tian was a little surprised when he saw Joan of Arc's ability. He didn't expect that he would be so practical when he caught her. It seems that it cannot be easily returned to France in the future.

Of course, Chu Tian never planned to return it to France.

The golden army from the outer city attacked the inner city in just one day, and the defenders and civilians from the inner city attacked all the way, kicking off the counterattack!

The two hundred thousand angrily young soldiers were divided into four groups, and the momentum was huge. For a while, the Jin Army did not know where the main force of the Han Army was.

"The two majesty's princes, please personally ask!"

In order to strengthen morale again, Chu Tian asked Song Huizong and Song Qinzong to be hijacked and forced them to go into battle and kill the enemy.
