The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

December 22, the first year of Jingkang.

The Jin Army launched a second siege.

This time it was obviously not a small fight like last time. Twenty artillery carriages, five trench-filling vehicles, and other siege equipment were directly used. The cavalry and infantry totaled [-], and they fought towards the south in a mighty manner. Xunmen.

From Qingcheng Jinjun camp to Nanxunmen, it is about thirty miles.

Instead of being harassed by the Song troops outside the city along the way, they saw several battalions of Song troops hurriedly withdrawing from their defense lines.

Wanyan Huonu, who was in charge of the guard, looked disdainful and said to the ordering soldier beside her: "Command, the Song army is as weak as a chicken and as timid as a mouse. Follow my general to kill the enemy bravely. When the city is broken, celebrate the tenth day!"

In the war at this time, the messengers were not only responsible for uploading and issuing tasks, but also often played a role similar to that of political commissars, which was to inspire military morale.

Therefore, the messengers generally have a dignified appearance, and their words are full of energy and contagious.

In the stormy sky, the messengers galloped on their horses, loudly proclaiming Wanyan Huonv's words, and the 3000 cavalrymen howled with excitement.

The tenth day of Daqing.

That means that if the sword is not sealed within ten days, men can chop at will, women can kill at will, and gold and silver treasures can be stolen at will.

Why are you fighting?
Isn't it for these?

At least for the Jin Army, this is the biggest motivation for ordinary soldiers.

If you want to tell him about serving the country, the people, and the common people in the world, it is pure nonsense, and no one cares at all!
I can't live a good life, how can I help the whole world?Pooh!
The news that the Jin Army sent troops to Nanxunmen reached the Marshal's Mansion immediately.

"Report! The Jin army is attacking. Send out [-] troops. Several siege equipment."

"Report! Wanyan Huonv, the forward general on the west route, Wanyan Zongbi and Yelu Yujian on the east route, each leading thousands of troops."

Li Bangyan was a little nervous, but not panicked.

It's not like he doesn't know the specifications of Nanxunmen's city wall. Let alone this small number of people, even if the whole Jin army is pressed, he can't even think of a frontal attack in a short time.

But people who know a little bit about the war also know that this battle is related to the morale of both sides.

Before the full application of world-destroying modern weapons in warfare, in the thousands of years of human war history, although morale was not the decisive factor for victory, it was also the most critical factor for victory, no one.

But it is difficult to say clearly what morale is.

Morale may be sad and angry, because sad soldiers will win.

There is despair, because everything is ruined.

But the most common kind of morale is belief!
Jin people believe that they are invincible.

Therefore, they were able to defeat many with less, and swept across the Liao Kingdom, the most powerful country in East Asia.

But what do people in Song Dynasty believe in?

A year ago, people in Song Dynasty only believed in money.

As long as there is enough money, Xixia can be called big brother, Liao can be strong but not bullied, and naturally the barbarians like the Jin people can be made to get away with money.

But as the Jin troops came to the city twice, the Song people began to doubt whether the money they believed in could be trusted.

Therefore, Song people need to establish another kind of "belief."

Not only must you believe what you believe in and improve your own morale, but you must also destroy what the enemy believes in and suppress the enemy's morale.

One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and the war is unpredictable.

Therefore, Li Bangyan felt that this battle would not be difficult if it was just defense.

But he wanted Song Jun to believe that Jin Jun was nothing more than that.

He also wanted to make Jin Jun doubt whether he was really invincible?
Although Zhong Shidao thought Li Bangyan's idea was a bit risky, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong greatly agreed with it and asked on the spot to go out of the city to meet the enemy.Li Bangyan waved his hand: "No, no, you two are deputy commanders of our army. The Jin people just sent forward young generals, so they asked my deputy commander to take action. It would be disgraceful to win. I see, I will let the victory army have 3000 men." Just meet the enemy."

Han Shizhong was stunned: "Commander? There are more than 1 infantry and cavalry troops on the opposite side. These 3000 people are probably..."

Li Bangyan chuckled and said: "Servant Han, why don't you hurry up and bring out the thunderbolt bombs from the Ministry of War? We can just go to the top of the city to watch the battle. To be honest, I haven't seen the power of thousands of thunderbolt bullets fired at once." .”

Li Bangyan felt that since the battle in Taiyuan City, he could use thunderbolts to destroy the Jin Army's West Route Army and lose troops and generals.

Just do the same thing.

Han Shizhong smiled bitterly: "Commander, if you have to wait here, I will probably disappoint you."

Li Bangyan was puzzled: "Why?"

Han Shizhong spread his hands: "Most of the thunderbolts have been given to Taiyuan, and the remaining part has been transferred to the Imperial City Department by the officials. Now the Ministry of War can only take out two boxes at most."

Li Bangyan's courage is gone!
His face fell, and he immediately said: "Then hurry up and urge the Song Academy of Sciences?"

Master Zhong sighed: "I've already asked, and the Academy of Song Dynasty said that the production can't keep up. The money given to the Ministry of War is already the whole family's money. If you want to use it again, you have to wait two months."

Li Bangyan finally panicked and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After two rounds, Li Bangyan suddenly stopped: "Why does the Imperial City Division want thunder bombs? Go find Guo Jing and ask for them back!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Han Shizhong said helplessly: "Some time ago, the official's handwriting was written, and he was transferred."

"Then...hey! Why don't you ask?" Li Bangyan paused.

Han Shizhong smiled and said: "How about the commander-in-chief go and ask now?"

Li Bangyan was stunned and waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, officials have their own reasons. Let's talk about it, what should we do now?"

Before the others could discuss it further, Gao Chong, who was hiding aside, raised his hand: "How about I go?"

"I'll go too!" Yang Zaixing also shouted.

Li Bangyan's face lit up with joy, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why did you forget General Gao? He was born to be a god general. He was born to be a god general."

Zhong Shidao reminded: "It's okay for Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing to go to battle, but the enemy has three generals and we still have one less."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shuye said: "I am willing to go too."

Li Bangyan turned his head to look, thought for a moment and then shook his head: "No, Mr. Zhang is the supervisor of our army..."

"The last general is still the commander in charge of the palace. It is the right thing to go into battle to kill the enemy." Zhang Shuye cupped his hands and said, "I hope the commander will do it."

……

……

Outside Nanxun Gate, the snow continues unabated and the cold wind howls.

Taking advantage of the heavy wind and snow, the Jin Army's trench-filling truck had been pushed to the moat and began its operation.

The gun carriages behind him have also dispersed and been set up.

Following the order, the boulders passed through the snow curtain and poured down towards the Nanxunmen city head and city wall.

The defenders at the top of the city also immediately started a counterattack. The rocks thrown by the twin cannons hit the trench-filling truck, but they were separated by thick curtains and the damage was limited.

There is actually no need for the trench-filling trucks to come out today because the moat has frozen, so these trench-filling trucks serve as mobile bunkers for the infantry and advance towards the Wengcheng.

Wan Yanhuo Nu led the cavalry and rushed to the frozen moat. She just glanced at the frozen river and laughed and said, "God help me, cross the river in batches!"

How could the Jin men, who fought and fought in the white mountains and black waters all year round, not see whether the river was frozen or not? (End of chapter)
