I am Da Song

Chapter 138 The Confusion of Han Powu
Zhao Huan said that Zhao Gou knew nothing about power, which was by no means a lie.

After the main force of the Shenwu Right Army arrived, it completely overwhelmed Nanjing.Wang Shi formed a heavy siege to Nanjing, completely encircling the city.

There are ten city gates on the four walls of Nanjing, three of which are on the east wall and three on the west wall, and one more water gate than the south and north walls.

But the water gate has long been closed, and the Bianhe water transport has also been blocked.

Nanjing City has completely become an isolated city, and water transport cannot transport food at all.

However, there are more than 30 people and more than [-] rebels in this city, a total of nearly [-] people.

Without the king's division attacking, the rebel army can be quickly dragged down by food consumption alone.

The Tokyo Royal Inner Treasury stored more than half of the world's wealth, and it was almost exhausted to supply the inner city for more than a month. The imperial court arranged the chief famous general to Huainan at all costs, just to get through water transportation quickly.

Nanjing is not as rich as Tokyo, and the time it can support is even more limited.

Confining an isolated city is a dead end, and Nanjing's army must attack decisively, even if at least opening a gap in one of the city gates to gain contact with the south.

One is to get food supplies, and the other is to contact the rebel army in the south to resist the tyrant Zhao Huan.

Nanjing City has 10,000+ troops, which can attack a certain city gate with heavy troops.However, the Shenwu Youjun only had more than [-] people, and they wanted to attack the city, but also divided their troops to guard each city gate.There will not be too many troops in front of each city gate, or even more than a thousand people.

Of course, considering that Wang Gui led more than a thousand people to defeat the 5 Nanjing Imperial Army.

Zhao Gou still took this battle very seriously, and carefully selected elites for fierce generals.With elite soldiers and strong generals, active attack and occupying the initiative on the battlefield, the victory rate is extremely high.

Two days after the siege, Zhao Gou finally succeeded in selecting candidates for the battle with the assistance of a group of scholar-bureaucrats.

There were only more than 500 elite soldiers and 10,000 dead soldiers.This scale is not huge. Compared with the total scale of Nanjing's [-]+ cavalry, it is slightly equal to a drop in the bucket.

But this army is almost the backbone of the rebel army.It is they who are supporting the vain structure of the rebel army. These brave soldiers are destroyed, and the remaining 10,000+ people are lambs to be slaughtered.Just a few hundred iron cavalry can beat them to pieces.

The quality of soldiers is more important than numbers. If this army can fight to the death, the size of more than [-] people will be more than enough. They are more than five times that of the imperial guards, and they are enough to defeat the enemy and open the gap.

If they are not capable of fighting, even if they mobilize 3 people, they will be bloated and vain, and they will collapse at the first touch.

The general who commanded this elite army was Han Shizhong, the number one fierce general in Nanjing.

The reason why Han Shizhong was chosen was because Wang Yuan, the most famous governor under Fan Ne's command, had already been placed under house arrest because he opposed the establishment of a new monarch.Fan Ne was worried that killing him would make the soldiers sad and angry, and they would riot together, so he didn't kill him.

And Wang Yuan often supervised Han Shizhong, Yang Jin and other generals to resist the Jin people, and Han Shizhong's bravery was spread in the army.

After Zhao Gou heard about Han Shizhong's god-level military exploits in the past, he was amazed. Not only did he replace Wang Yuan as the commander of the capital, but he was also appointed as the commander of the Pengri and Tianwu four chambers, and the military successor of Weisheng.

Before the battle, Zhao Gou personally held a banquet for Han Shizhong to practice, and said: "I have heard about Han Qing's past, how can he be famous even though he is ancient?"

"However, the imperial court in Tokyo is ignorant, does not reward meritorious deeds, and is corrupt and dark, causing the warriors to be wronged. After 20 years, no moderation system has been established."

Hearing Zhao Gou's accusations against Da Song, Han Shizhong's face was gloomy.Although he knew that this was the "official"'s provocative words, Han Shizhong still couldn't help but feel sad, 20 years, he wasted more than 20 years!

Looking back on my past life, my family was extremely poor, and I have been hanging out with local rogues since I was a child.Because of lawlessness and natural supernatural power, he was dubbed Han Powu.

When I was a teenager, I was a hooligan in Yan'an Mansion. At that time, I was addicted to alcohol, poor and dissolute, and behaved disorderly.A fortune teller told himself a fortune, saying that he could reach the Sangong.This made me feel like I was being teased, so I gave the fortune teller a good punch.

Fate has not changed here, until the age of 26, he has been in the army for eight years, and he is still a little-known officer in the army.

But this year, he broke into the Xixia army alone and beheaded Xixia's supervising son-in-law alone, causing the entire Xixia army to collapse.I thought that with this feat, I could change my fate.

But Tong Guan, the "wise and mighty" coach of the Western Army, how could he believe in such a ridiculous record?This is a great achievement, and in the end it was only a level up.

At the age of 33, he participated in the Battle of Fangla.Not only did he defeat the main force of Fang La's army, but he also stood up and went forward, crossed several miles of danger, entered the cave where Fang La was hiding, killed dozens of people, and captured Fang La before he escaped.

As a result, the military merits were falsely claimed by the superior Xin Xingzong.

After that, he switched to battle year after year, and once fifty cavalry defeated more than two thousand cavalry of the Liao army, beheading its chief general.300 people also attacked the camp of the Jin army at night, and the Jin army was defeated.

But after being together for more than 20 years, he is still a small commander in the army.Not to mention Sangong, even the distance between two or three Taiwei who can be killed by one stone in the military camp is still a thousand miles away.

Twenty years later, Han Powu is still Han Powu.But relying on this inexplicable skill from the dragon, he became a captain, and the distance made him within reach.

But is all this really what I want?Why is there a feeling of being lost and walking dead?

Under the exhortation of the "emperor": "Qing is loyal and brave, I know he will succeed", Han Shizhong returned home in a daze.

Following and serving him is his concubine Liang Hongyu.

This little concubine was originally a prostitute, but no one could see a trace of prostitution in her, but she had a cold and sharp demeanor, like a proud swan.

How proud is she?Because she is proficient in calligraphy and has supernatural powers, she can draw a strong bow, and every shot is sure to hit.So she looked at ordinary young masters and others with blank eyes.

To sum it up in one sentence, when the corners of her eyes droop, no one in the world can see her.

This fairy with white skin like snow and heroic bearing has a special liking for Han Po, who is down and out, and thinks he is the number one hero in the world.

Even so, Liang Hongyu's relationship with Han Shizhong was not as gentle as water, but his eyes were clear, with a little more solemnity and concern.

But since the Nanjing Rebellion, Han Shizhong didn't get any good looks anymore, only to find that the eyes of this concubine became more and more fierce every day.

Han Shizhong pushed open the door of the house, and saw Liang Hongyu standing in front of the hall with folded arms, examining him sharply.The voice was cold: "Is this still the hero I know? Look at yourself in a state of despair, how can you have a trace of heroism?"

Han Shizhong's back felt numb, and he couldn't help avoiding Liang Hongyu's gaze.Inexplicably, she felt that she couldn't hold her head up in front of her concubine.
