Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 143 The First Bianliang Defense Battle
Throughout the whole day, Zhao Gou was drinking with Count Ying and Yue Fei almost all the time, and did not return to the palace all night.

Princess Xing Bingyi waited alone at home for Zhao Gou to return from the palace, but she never waited until he came back.

She stayed up late sitting alone in front of the empty window. Finally, she couldn't resist the overwhelming sleepiness and fell asleep.

Let's say that after King Yun Zhao Kai was seriously injured by Zhao Gou, he was supported by Prince Zhao Huan and Emperor Roufu Zhao Huanhuan and sent to the imperial doctor, where he had a good look.

It's true that some muscles and bones were injured, but nothing serious.

King Yun Zhao Kai thought that he must settle this account with Zhao Gou in one or two days.

If I don't put Zhao Gou to death, if I don't completely expel Zhao Gou from the Zhao royal family, then I don't deserve the surname Zhao at all!
No matter what method, it must be used.

No matter who they are, they must be found.

Completely overthrowing Zhao Gou from the palace.

However, the development of things was beyond Zhao Kai's control.

Because, one day later, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River and launched a massive attack on Bianliang City.

Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, Wan Yan and Wu Beigong, were bound to win Bianliang City, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

After leading the three armies to rest for three days in Yanshan, they quickly advanced towards the outside of Bianliang City like a mighty dragon.

Emperor Huizong hurriedly gathered all the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China into the court hall.

According to what they had planned closely in the past few days, the Song Dynasty court began to formally carry out the first Bianliang defense battle according to the plan step by step.

This battle is of vital importance. Everyone in the three armies understands that they must devote all their strength to victory and not defeat.

If this war was defeated, the damage caused to the Song Dynasty would be immeasurable.

At midnight the previous night, General Zhong Shidao led 5000 men under his command to the outside of Bianliang City.

Including soldiers and horses coming from all over the country, the total number of several groups of troops reached a total of 20.

The mighty King Qin's army entered the outer city of Bianliang at the fastest speed.

Under the leadership of the important ministers of the court, the troops and horses were organized and placed in various city gates to prepare for the attack.

Everyone in the Zhao royal family was in fear, huddled in the corner, no one dared to speak out.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou felt that he could not lose this opportunity no matter what.

Even Emperor Huizong had given him a cold reception in Yanfu Palace the day before.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what, I must fight for this opportunity.

In the court hall, just as Zhao Gou was about to speak, Earl Ying immediately glanced at him.

Zhao Gou shook his head vigorously and suddenly remembered what Earl Ying said to him at Earl Ying's house last night.

In this Bianliang defense battle, Zhao Gou could not participate in it anyway.

Because this will most likely be a bloody battle with countless casualties.

If Zhao Gou chooses to get involved at this time, it can be said to be extremely dangerous for Zhao Gou, with a narrow escape from death.

After sleeping all night, Zhao Gou actually forgot Earl Ying's heartfelt instructions.

Now he suddenly remembered, his heart was shocked, and the words had already reached his lips, and he swallowed them back.

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.

I saw Emperor Huizong sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, and said: "There are constant reports of emergencies outside the city. All the ministers must accompany me to protect the country of the Song Dynasty." Those who are interested can listen. It can be seen that Emperor Huizong began to tremble when he spoke at this time.

Immediately afterwards, seventy-eight out of ten civil servants and military officers in the court began to leave the court one after another and enter the front line as previously deployed.

What's ridiculous is that the six thieves who usually held a lot of troops and power in the court now all stayed in the court, like rats.

Although Earl Ying also did not leave the court, but he did not leave the court now, it does not mean that he will not leave the court in the second and third Bianliang defense battles.

He was waiting patiently, waiting until Li Gang took action before he stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation.

At that time, he will take Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to make contributions together on this must-win battlefield.

Taking the two of them, they appeared in the Great Song Dynasty Hall.

More than 3 Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Wu Qimai, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, set out from Yanshan, crossed the Yellow River, and came to attack Bianliang City.

Jin Wushu, a famous general of the Jin Army and also the King of Jin, led more than 3 Jin soldiers all the way from Longcheng.

Almost at the same time, more than 3 gold soldiers led by Wanyan Wu Qimai crossed the Yellow River and came together to attack Bianliang City.

The Jin army was fully prepared, and its total number was only more than 6.

On the side of Bianliang City in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the millions of soldiers and civilians defending the inner city, the number of troops and horses led by General Zhong Shidao alone was as high as 23.

23 versus [-]. This should be a winnable war.

However, even though the numbers of the two parties are so different, it is still unknown until now whether they will win or lose.

In the final analysis, the Jin army was too strong and the Song army was too weak.

This first battle to defend Bianliang was mainly fought in the outer city of Bianliang City.

Both sides did not use all their strength because they had to ensure that they had some backup to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the opportunity when their entire army was dispatched.

From the time of Sipai, the 20 defending Song troops were divided into more than [-] teams, respectively at Weizhou Gate, Fengqiu Gate, Chenqiao Gate, and Chenzhou Gate.

Wansheng Gate, Xinzheng Gate, and Guzi Gate put on a defensive posture and vowed to defend Bianliang City to the death.

Although the Jin army had this number, it still divided into more than a dozen teams and launched a fierce attack on the above city gates.

Since this battle was already considered a decisive battle, everyone in the Song army was determined to fight to the bitter end.

As a result, these Song Dynasty soldiers, who were originally extremely weak, now became full of courage.

Against the Jin Army's Iron Buddha, he fought to the death and fought with his life, gritted his teeth and fought a desperate battle with the Jin Army.

Since the Jin Army had never experienced the toughness and capability of the Song Army before, the Jin Army underestimated the Song Army when attacking these city gates.

Whether it was Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begging for money or Jin Wushu, a famous general of the Jin Army, they all took it lightly.

But after Si Pai hour, and the two armies fought at noon, they both felt that something was not right in their hearts.

Previously, Song and Jin teamed up to attack the Liao Kingdom. The Song army that the Jin people saw was never brave and good at fighting. It was always weak and incompetent and comparable to waste.

But this time when they attacked Bianliang City, the Song Army seemed to be completely reborn, completely different from the Song Army they had previously imagined.

So, the two men temporarily dispatched [-] iron pagodas and used all their strength to launch a fierce attack on the above city gates.

The result can be imagined. The Song Army was able to take advantage of the opponent's carelessness at the beginning and achieved wave after wave of small victories.

However, as the Jin army began to attack in earnest, the Song army suddenly collapsed like Mount Tai, falling thousands of miles and being defeated.

The Song Dynasty soldiers who guarded the city gates were really like weak chickens facing the powerful Jin army.
