Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 130 The fall of two places
The soldiers who gathered in Longcheng and Yanshan from all over the world all arrived at their destinations three hours early.

Arriving here, without taking any rest, the general gave an order and everyone divided into ranks to start military drills.

The results of the actual training, without any surprise, made all the officials feel cold.

The Song people were originally extremely afraid of the Jin people, and now the soldiers and generals under the officials were so useless.

Without exception, everyone had a deep fear of what would happen next.

Once the soldiers responsible for the First Battle of Longcheng and the First Battle of Yanshan arrived in the two places, the officials of the two places began to send letters to Feige in Bianliang City.

The palms of Emperor Huizong and Prince Zhao Huan were sweating. Now that the personnel have arrived, a war may start at any time.

This was the first battle between Song and Jin, and it was crucial.

All the civil and military officials in the court came to court a full hour early today. Emperor Huizong sat on the dragon chair and stared intently at the people kneeling on the ground.

Earl Ying was shocked to see that Emperor Huizong's eye circles were black.

Obviously, Emperor Huizong never rested much throughout this day and night.

Cai Jing knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Huizong: "Your Majesty, our elite troops from the Song Dynasty have arrived at Longcheng and Yanshan today. According to Weichen, your Majesty will be able to sit back and relax in the battle between Song and Jin Dynasties."

Emperor Huizong smiled weakly, nodded and said, "Thank you for the good advice from the Cai Qing family."

Since everyone knows that there will definitely be a war between Song and Jin today, they just don’t know when it will start.

Therefore, everyone is ready to stay in the court today.

Emperor Huizong's mother-in-law, Empress, saw the situation in the court, so she had already ordered the imperial dining room to invite civil and military officials to eat at any time.

This day was the third day of July. No one expected that this war started at the Chenpai time on the third day of July and actually continued all the way to the fifth day of July three days later.

During these three days, the Jin army almost never rested and continued to forcefully attack the city.

The Song army's blood flowed into rivers, and corpses lay everywhere.

The Song armies gathered in Longcheng and Yanshan from all over the world were mostly infantry, with very few cavalry.

On the other hand, the Jin army was most likely all cavalry, and they also had the iron pagoda developed when they attacked the Liao Kingdom.

Whenever the Jin army attacked a city in the Song Dynasty, they would release the Iron Buddha Tu.

Once the Song army encountered Tiefu Tu, it would be said to be completely defeated.

This iron pagoda is a huge thing. From a distance, it looks like a savage beast.

It usually takes thirty to fifty people to gather together to be able to match the size and weight of this iron pagoda.

Starting from the third day of July, the golden army of the Jin Army divided into five groups and launched a brutal and domineering attack on Longcheng and Yanshan at the same time.

The beating was so severe that the Song army abandoned their helmets and armor, and rats scurryed all over the ground.

After this battle, the Song Army became notorious and the Jin Army became famous far and wide.

To put it bluntly, this war was nominally fought from the third day of July to the fifth day of July.

In fact, as early as late at night on the third day of July, that is, close to the early morning of the fourth day of July, the Song army was already escaping and surrendering, and it was completely out of shape.

News of constant defeats continued to reach the Bianliang court like surging waves.

Emperor Huizong and all the civil and military officials below all had hesitant expressions on their faces, and all of them turned pale with horror.

For a moment, everyone lost their backbone and didn't know what to do next.

The six thieves and everyone below, all they think in their hearts is to make peace, make peace, and make peace again.

Earl Ying always stood behind Cai Jing and Gao Qiu. To be honest, looking at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, everyone except him felt frightened and extremely surprised.

The reason is that it has been less than a month since Song and Jin teamed up to destroy the Liao Kingdom, and the entire Song Dynasty is still in the joy of victory.

Who would have thought that the Song Army would be so useless when facing the Jin Army!Earl Ying said silently in his heart: Reality is always so unexpected.

At Sipai hour on the fifth day of July, the inner and outer cities of Longcheng and Yanshan were completely destroyed by the Jin army at the fourth and seventh quarters of Sishi respectively.

Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai was overjoyed. He stood on the gate of Longcheng and looked into the distance. He pointed to the bank of the turbulent Yellow River and said with a loud smile, "There is no one in the Southern Dynasty!"

The attendants on the left and right held high the banner of the Jin Kingdom, and laughed wildly into the sky: "The Holy Hero is unparalleled in the world, and the annexation of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner!"

As soon as the Jin army entered the city, they began to burn, kill and loot.

Countless people of the Song Dynasty instantly became dead souls killed by the Jin army.

How many wives and children were separated, how many people were living on the streets, how many people were starved of food, and how many people were in tears.

In all these cases, the Jin Military Commission did all kinds of evil.

These things that happened in Longcheng and Yanshan were very clear in the heart of the Song court.

But it is really helpless. The imperial court has no control over these ordinary people at the moment.

The reason is that the Song Dynasty devoted almost all its strength to this three-day battle.

All the soldiers and generals who could still be called elite soldiers by comparison rushed to the battlefield.

Overnight, the Great Song Dynasty had almost reached a situation where no one was available and no troops could be dispatched.

Emperor Huizong was sitting on the dragon throne, feeling extremely panicked.

Looking at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground below, he asked loudly: "What good strategy does the family have?"

Cai Jing looked at Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu looked at Tong Guan, Tong Guan looked at Liang Shicheng, and Liang Shicheng looked at Earl Ying.

No one had the slightest idea in their minds and didn't know what to do at all.

Everyone knows that once Longcheng and Yanshan fall, the Jin army will march straight to Bianliang City after crossing the Yellow River safely.

It's a pity that the Youyun Sixteen States that I just bought with a lot of money were not put to use until the end.

Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai could have led the Jin army to Bianliang City on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, but he specifically chose to reward the army and let the army run wild in Longcheng and Yanshan.

At the same time, it was announced to the world that the Dai Jinhui would cross the Yellow River and attack Bianliang City on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month.

Since the Jin Army's cavalry entered the territory of the Song Dynasty half a month ago, they have been invincible and unstoppable.

No matter where you go, it's like entering uninhabited territory.

Even this most massive battle could be said to be a battle in which the Song Dynasty almost staked all its wealth and capital.

The Jin Army also won so easily.

The sky is unkind, and treats everything as a straw dog.

So far, the time left by God to the Song Dynasty is only three days.

Whether the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed in three days, or whether it will be a desperate counterattack, it seems at this moment that it is still unknown.

Today was very different from the past. It was not until close to midnight that we retreated from the court.

All the civil and military officials returned home, and everyone was in extremely complicated moods.

Early tomorrow morning, he will go to court before dawn. By then, he must give Emperor Huizong a useful strategy whether life or death.

When Earl Ying returned home in a sedan chair, Pan Jinlian, Pang Chunmei, Li Ping'er, Huan'er and Ying'er were all sitting in the main hall.

When they saw Earl Ying coming back, they hurriedly got up to pick him up.
