I am Da Song

Chapter 104

The Battle of Daliang Gate greatly shook the Jin army's belief in attacking the city.

In this battle, the Jin army was very close to success and climbed the city wall, but under the siege of the Song army like a tide, they finally fell short and withdrew from the city.

The Jin army, who had been domineering for many years, finally had to bow its proud head in front of Tokyo City, admitting that they could not defeat the tenacious Song army with a small number of strikes.

So the West Route Army was forced to stop massacring the city and gather the troops in Nancheng.The war has returned to the original and most brutal situation, a competition of consumption and perseverance.

This is the most helpless and effective way in the era of cold weapons. The Jin army repeatedly attacked Taiyuan and failed. Finally, after nearly ten months of besieging the city, the food and grass in the city were exhausted before they boarded the city.

The Eastern Route Army was much more passive. The Third Prince Zongfu was still rectifying the morale of the army. The army did not want to suffer losses in the city, so they withdrew out of the city one after another.The fourth prince led his elites to fight Zong Ze on the banks of the Yellow River day after day.

This was not a good job either. With the blessing of Zhao Huan's edict, Zong Ze's army increased to more than [-].

This scale is more than the army that Jin Wushu can mobilize.After a long period of wear and tear, the Jin Army East Route Army has only 5 people left.It is necessary to guard against the inner city and disperse the garrison.There are only more than [-] troops that can be used by the Fourth Prince for mobile combat.

If these 2 people were not elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Wushu really would not be able to confront the veteran general Zong Ze.

The two sides continued to fight for more than ten days, with each other winning and losing. The Song army lost tens of thousands of people, and the Jin army also suffered more than [-] casualties.

If the war had been so intense, Jin Wushu would have committed suicide.This means that the Jin army had to pay nearly half of the price to completely defeat the Song army.However, the loss of so many elite troops is an unbearable burden for the Eastern Route Army.

The Jin army has begun to withdraw from Tokyo, and has successively sent more troops to the Hebei battlefield to clear the way and reduce casualties.

But the fourth prince just felt suicidal, but the second prince really couldn't hold on anymore.

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looked up.

The famous founding general of the Kingdom of Jin, the famous clan, and the second prince who was the commander of the Eastern Route Army couldn't leave him. Under Zhao Huan's malicious push, he suffered too much domestic suspicion and pressure, and died of illness in the city of Tokyo.

This world-renowned general was depressed because of self-blame, depression, pressure and resentment, and finally died two months earlier than history.

After receiving the news of the second prince's death, the whole city of Tokyo celebrated with joy.

The cruelty and massacre of the Jin people filled the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo with hatred for the Jin people. No one would mourn the death of this famous general.

On the contrary, fireworks were ignited again in the city, and under the light of fire trees and silver flowers, the city of Tokyo seemed to be reborn, like a dream.

The soldiers of the Golden Army recalled the bloody and horror in Tokyo on the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

No soldiers of the Eastern Route Army dared to enter the city again. They began to besiege the city in November last year, and now in February, they have been besieging the city for nearly a hundred days.

Under the sky full of fireworks, the morale of the West Route Army also plummeted, and the siege stopped.

In the inner city, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty gathered in the hall, solemnly making pre-war deployments.

After besieging the city for a long time, everyone in the city looked tired, especially Yue Fei.

As the supreme general in charge of the defense of the capital, he bears the safety of nearly a million soldiers and civilians on his shoulders, and every decision determines the life and death of tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, this great general of the Song Dynasty has a vicissitudes of life and gray temples at a young age. The only thing that does not change is the firm and lightning-like gaze in his eyes.

It was also under his day and night preparations that the officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Right Army took turns to go out, and got the best rest and the most rigorous training.

Every day, tens of thousands of people are full of energy and high spirits, ready to go to the battlefield.

All the monarchs, ministers, civil and military officials in charge of power in Tokyo in the Mingtang listened carefully to the report from the Kaifeng Mansion.

"In the past 34 days since the establishment of the wheat field and charcoal field, Kaifeng Prefecture has successfully counted the total population of the inner city, a total of 6000 people, and about [-] people from the outer city flood into the inner city every day."

The inner city has a population of more than 30, more than one-third of the total population of Tokyo. Obviously, this scale is a bit high, because refugees from the outer city have flooded into the inner city.

It is not accurate to say that they are refugees. These people are family members of soldiers who served in the army.

The larger the population of the inner city, the larger the size of the Shenwu Youjun, which is a good thing to hear and see.

Yue Fei got up in time and said: "The Shenwu Youjun now has a strength of 8000. This is almost the total number of soldiers of all ages in Tokyo. In the future, the daily replenishment will not exceed 1000, and it will be exhausted in a short time. "

Zhao Huan said solemnly: "It is necessary to fight the Jin army before the replenishment becomes unsustainable, and open the situation. Otherwise, there will be no follow-up support, and the morale of the Shenwu You army may decline day by day."

"Prince Minister, what is the current state of military equipment?"

Zhang Shuye's expression was exhausted, but he held up a smile and said: "The officials, with the strength of millions of soldiers and civilians in Tokyo, the Shenwu Youjun's military equipment can be described as completely reborn. More than [-] people in the entire army have already completed their military uniforms, and the military uniforms are in order."

"In addition, the materials sorted out from the armory of the Forbidden Army, Inner Bow, Sword, Gun, and Armor were also delivered to the Shenwu Youjun. Now the Shenwu Youjun only has more than [-] sets of infantry armor, and tens of thousands of Shenwu bows."

"And the firearms produced by the No. [-] Armament Workshop are also proudly improved. There are more than [-] rockets. The Thunderbolt fireball has been improved into a palm mine. Both power and reliability have been greatly improved. Now we have accumulated [-] rockets."

These are all the possessions that Zhao Huan can come up with.

Hand it all over to Yue Fei, which is enough to form a well-equipped, heavily armored and well-trained elite imperial army.

And what kind of battle results Yue Fei can lead this army will directly determine how the battle in Tokyo will end.Is it a hearty victory in defending the city, or watching the Jin army leave calmly and helplessly.

When the meeting was at a critical moment, Wang Zongmian rushed into the Ming Hall with his imperial weapon.

Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Is there any important event that deserves your trespassing?"

Wang Zongmian's face was pale, and he said in despair: "Officials, there has been a defeat in Shaanxi. Fan Zhixu's 20 troops from the Fifth Route Xuanfu of Shaanxi meandered out of Tongguan to help the capital, but the mountains and rivers were dangerous and narrow. The fine cavalry stepped into the formation, leading to the defeat of the entire army, and more than half of the dead."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

"20 horses, all killed in one battle! Even if it is 20 pigs, 1 people in Wanyan Loushi can't kill them all!"

"How did Fan Zhixu do it? The 20 army collapsed!"

Yue Fei was the most unbelievable, and said: "As long as Fan Xianggong keeps [-] cavalry as a garrison and stabilizes the formation, Wanyan Loushi's ten thousand people will have nothing to do. Even though they are defeated, the entire army will not be wiped out! Could it be that there is no one in the Western Army? A man who knows how to fight? How could the whole army be defeated?"

Wang Zongmian replied: "The envoy who came to Beijing said that before the envoy Fan sent out troops, there was a general Li Yanxian who once suggested that the army is large in scale, and it should be a branch army. If this is the case, the defeat will not be defeated. If the army gathers together, it will come out of Wei and Mian , Yu was trapped on a dangerous road, and if he lost, he would be defeated. But Fan Shi refused to accept it, and the 20-step rider was chaotic on the dangerous road, and the whole army was defeated by Wanyan Loushi."

The disastrous defeat of 20 pacers at the hands of Wanyan Loushi's tens of thousands of people immediately weakened the fighting spirit of all the ministers in the hall.

Prime Minister Sun Fu lowered his head, spoke weakly, and said, "The soldiers of the Jin army are strong and their morale is high. It's better to stop the plan of sending troops for the time being and stick to the city to ensure safety."
