In his impatience, he actually tried to go into battle himself. "Marshal, absolutely not! You are the commander-in-chief of the army, so don't take risks lightly! The overall situation is settled, the golden soldiers won't last long, and the city will be taken by our army sooner or later..." Zhao Songyong, the deputy commander of the left army, looked at it and hurriedly Pulling Han Shizhong said anxiously.

Han Shizhong respected Zhao Songyong, His Majesty's brother-in-law.Of course he knew that the city of Zhongjing would be taken down sooner or later, but the key was who would take it down.The one who won the first prize must be the left army.He wants the whole army and the whole country to know that Han Shizhong was the first to recover Zhongjing!

Seeing that the attacking army had gained the upper hand, but was unable to defeat the resistance of the golden soldiers on the city wall, he was naturally anxious.After the successful meeting of the Central Route Army, the Left Route Army, and the Right Route Army, they also instigated the rebellion of some ethnic minorities on the outskirts of the Jin Bing and generals of the Han people outside the Great Wall.It was because of this that their army quickly passed through their defense area, and the soldiers quickly rushed to the city of Zhongjing. At this time, Wushu in the city of Zhongjing had already led a part of the army to retreat to Tokyo, Liaoyang Prefecture.In the current Zhongjing City, only the right deputy marshal Zongfu and a group of golden soldiers guarded it, and it would definitely not be able to stop the Song army's army. This battle will undoubtedly be won.

This was the first battle after the three armies joined forces, followed by the main force of more than 20 troops composed of the Southern Legion and the Imperial Guard under the personal command of Emperor Zhao Zhen.As for the vanguard mission, they naturally want to have a good first battle, and they must simply take down the enemy's Zhongjing City and show their prestige ahead of the two armies.This is a meritorious service delivered to the door, and Han Shizhong, who is full of pride, will naturally not let it go.

"Han Shuai!" In the chaotic attacking team, a herald rushed towards him and shouted: "Marshal, Yue Shuai sent me to ask if you want reinforcements? Our troops from the Central Route Army can come up immediately! "

"What did you say?" "Yue Shuai asked if you want reinforcements!"

The voices of people were too disturbing, the sounds of fighting, screams, groans mixed with the huge rumble from the tower and the battlefield.It wasn't until the herald repeated the words for the third time that Han Shizhong understood what he meant. In an instant, the long-suppressed fury erupted like a huge volcano!

He grabbed the messenger officer's collar and shouted into his ear: "Tell Yue Fei, Lao Tzu's soldiers and horses can take Zhongjing City! No need for his reinforcements!"

The enraged Han Shizhong didn't have much chance to be scolded by the herald of the Chinese army, so he rode his horse and ran away in a hurry.Watching his back disappear into the chaotic army crowd, Han Shizhong felt blushed and angry, and he whispered: "This is a big shame for my old man!"

Just as a group of his own siege soldiers and horses were rushing past him holding a flag, Han Shizhong suddenly jumped over and reached out to snatch the flag bearer's flag.

The flag is the soul of the army, and someone dares to capture the flag before the battle!After the astonishment passed, Wu Feng, the commander of the Fenglei Army who led the team, became angry. He led a group of soldiers screaming wildly, and ran over on horseback to make trouble.But Wu Feng, who rode his horse and came galloping, suddenly discovered that the person who captured the flag was none other than his immediate boss, Marshal Han Shizhong of the Left Route Army!

Wu Feng and his subordinates were all stunned, and Wu Feng said suspiciously: "Marshal, what are you doing?"

"Brothers, there is no other way to retreat!" Repressing his violent mood, Han Shizhong's tone was surprisingly calm, and he said intently: "Time is running out, this is the first battle since entering the Kingdom of Jin. The Dingfu is watching, the Central Army is watching, the Right Army is watching, the Imperial Guards are watching, and His Majesty’s Southern Army is also watching. We can’t take the capital city before dark. You are going to be the laughing stock of my Great Song army! You are all the army that followed His Majesty from Wuma Mountain. If you can’t take this city, you will lose face for a long time. Let’s get started! People will say, our left army’s soldiers are nothing more than that! Are you willing to do this!”

"Absolutely not!" The soldiers of the Left Army roared in response: "The warriors of the Left Army are the strongest!" Han Shizhong waved the flag vigorously, and shouted in a mournful voice: "Come on, warriors! Follow along!" On this flag, no one is allowed to retreat! Forward!"

"Kill!" The soldiers were instigated by Han Shizhong, and all the soldiers and horses participating in the battle were brave again.

The defenders of the Jin Bing defended the city with all their strength. They poured arrows like raindrops on the top of the city and sprinkled hot kerosene, but the soldiers climbing the city couldn't even dodge.Because of the turbulent crowd, there are endless follow-up soldiers, and you are not allowed to retreat at all!

So, amidst the screams and splashing blood, one ladder after another was erected high, and the brave soldiers of the left army marched forward inch by inch at the cost of blood, battlement after battlement. Snatching with life and blood.

Under Han Shizhong's personal leadership, he was inspired with infinite fighting spirit and morale. The Far East Army's attack was like a torrential river.

On the city wall, the already exhausted soldiers of the Golden Soldiers could no longer stop them. Half an hour later, the soldiers of the Fenglei Army and the Kuangbao Army who were mainly attacking the city wall, under the leadership of Wu Feng, the commander of the Fenglei Army, and Liu Shaner, the commander of the Fenglang Army, Captured the city.However, the battle did not end. The remaining Jin army defenders stood guard at their strongholds, and the battle moved from the city head to the streets in various cities.

The fighting in the street was extremely brutal, and the brave Jin soldiers never retreated. The advance of the Song army and the capture of each stronghold and house were carried out inch by inch.Soon, in the fierce battle, the city road was already flooded with corpses, and blood flowed slowly.

In several corridors of the city road, corpses from both sides blocked the road, pile after pile, and even the soldiers of the Jin Army used the pile of corpses as a defensive position on the spot.All of a sudden, countless soldiers fell down or continued to fight, and the rain of arrows in the sky was as dense as raindrops, and the scene was very spectacular.

On a hillside outside the city, the other two marshals were watching the battle side by side.Even though it was far away, the mixed sounds of the fighting could still be heard from time to time, screams, groans, the clang of weapons fighting, galloping horseshoes of cavalry, and the crackling of flames, intermittently.The scene is tragic and horrifying!

Putting away the clairvoyance that overlooked the top of the city, Wang Jin said to Yue Fei with relief: "The follow-up troops have gone up, and the top of the city has been taken."

"It's terrible!" Yue Fei also relaxed, watching the battle for a day, watching the sawing of the city, he was so nervous that the clothes on his back were wet.With a smile on his face, Yue Fei said: "This old guy Han Shizhong, what is he doing all day? He suddenly exerted his strength when it was dark, and now he has captured the top of the city. Why don't you continue to fight at night with torches in street fighting?"

"Han Shizhong's soldiers and horses have been killing for a day, and the soldiers are very tired. How about changing our soldiers and going to street fighting immediately?" Wang Jin said with a smile. "I have no objection. Send the herald to ask Han Shizhong. If he is tired, we can replace him." Yue Fei said expressionlessly, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The herald galloped to the front line, and came back about half an hour later to report: "I want to report to the two marshals, but Marshal Han Shizhong firmly refuses! He said that their soldiers and horses are not tired at all, and they can fight again." For three days and three nights, the city can be taken by itself. He said, I just ask the two marshals not to send your troops up. The left army is all bandits who followed His Majesty from Mount Wuma. If you are confused, you will be in trouble if you hit the wrong person in a melee."

The two commanders looked at each other, and Yue Fei smiled and said, "This guy Han Shizhong actually threatened us!" "Since Marshal Han Shizhong has issued a military order in front of His Majesty, let him follow. Anyway, the overall situation is settled, and the city will be destroyed sooner or later." to be taken down."

"It's better to take it as soon as possible." Yue Fei turned his head, cast his gaze to the twilight north, and said with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Zhongjing Dading Mansion is the gateway to Beijing and Tokyo of the Great Jin Kingdom. Just take a look at Zhongjing, Our army can drive straight in, and the main force of the Emperor of Jin is probably not far away from us." Following Yue Fei's gaze, Wang Jin looked to the far north.

Once in Beijing, a large area of ​​land and the rear of the Kingdom of Jin was completely exposed to more than 50 of the most elite Song soldiers.Now, no matter how conservative the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was, he would draw all the troops from the rear of the Kingdom of Jin to deal with the Song army.At this time, under the glow of the red sunset, the two people who were covered in red light did not make a sound, thinking about their thoughts silently.

At the beginning of the night, there was a huge commotion from the direction of the city, thousands of people were cheering, and both of them guessed what was going on.

"It seems that Han Shizhong succeeded." Just as Yue Fei expected, after a while, Han Shizhong, whose clothes were stained with blood, galloped up to the two of them.

"Yue Shuai! Wang Shuai! My left army has captured Zhongjing City! King Yan Zongjun of the Jin Kingdom and Wanyan Sheyema, the King of Pearls, were beheaded by our army one after another. The right deputy marshal Zongfu of the Kingdom of Jin led the remaining troops. Fleeing in a hurry, I will send cavalry to pursue." Han Shizhong looked at the two, feeling that he had finally not lost his face.Yue Fei smiled and said: "Thanks for your hard work, Han Shuai! The first battle is won, and you are the first!"

At night, the strong north wind blew away the clouds, and the setting sun appeared on the horizon. Thousands of fires were lit in the golden barracks, and the soldiers began to cook and rest.

At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Jin was less than twenty miles away from Zhongjing City, and the two armies could even see the black outlines of each other from the horizon.

On the early morning of May [-]th, Yue Feishuai looked north from the top of Zhongjing City, and saw the faint outline of the black tide on the horizon.He took a deep breath and whispered, "It's finally started."

When the sun rose, the various Golden Army regiments spread out one word at a time, advancing in a skirmish line.As far as the eye can see, in people's field of vision, the end of the horizon seems to be covered with overwhelming flood waves.No one can count the densely packed banners in the golden gun that guide the troops forward.

The whole land seemed to be filled with a rushing flood, and the waves were the banners of the people and horses, and the people and horses of the Kingdom of Jin gathered into a rough sea.

Even though a ten-mile-long wide formation has been formed, no one can see the entire golden formation at once. The length of the Jin Guobing team is as long as twenty miles. end.

Under a round of golden sunlight, the vast plains were densely covered with countless soldiers and horses preparing to attack, and the messengers galloped between the battle formations, conveying the orders of the superior generals and marshals.

There is a large plain to the northeast of Zhongjing City, and now, the army of the Kingdom of Jin rushed over along the plain.About five miles away from Zhongjing City, the Golden Army Regiment stopped and set up camp.

On an unnamed highland, Jin Taizong and his courtiers were stationed here.The right deputy marshal Zongfu galloped up to the high ground and knelt down on one knee towards Jin Taizong: "Your Majesty, Zhongjing City is ahead."

Jin Taizong had a red cloak on his outside and a golden armor on his inside. His outfit was shining brightly.He was closing the hand curtain, looking at the hazy city beyond the horizon.

Zhongjing City is located in a gentle plain area, and the gates of the city have been closed tightly at this time.The right side of the city is covered by lush green forest.In the forest, the battle flag fluttering can be seen faintly.

Where is the main force of the enemy?In the city or in the forest?The Supreme King of the Kingdom of Jin remained silent, with a strange light shining in his eyes.After a long time, he turned his head and asked, "Zongfu, is the main force of the Song army in front of us?"

"Your Majesty, the scouts and reconnaissance encountered a lot of resistance. The Song Army's patrol team blocked the area very hard. It is certain that there must be a large army of the Song Army in Zhongjing City and its surrounding areas, but it is not yet certain whether it is the entire main force of the Song Army. We It is still unclear about the deployment of the Song Army's troops around Zhongjing City, only that the enemy has deployed trenches and defense positions on both sides of the city, and the two wings extend very wide."

"Since you can't detect it, then use force to confirm it." Jin Taizong said lightly: "Wan Yan Zonghan listened to the order, you take your troops and horses to attack the left wing of Zhongjing City. Old Prime Minister Zonghan, you have to give me the enemy If you succeed, you stick to your position, and our army will go around to the back of Zhongjing City through your position, and form a half-sided encirclement of Zhongjing."

"Obey, Your Majesty!" The veteran of the Kingdom of Jin stood up vigorously and gave a one-knee salute to Emperor Taizong of Jin. When he got up, the blades of his armor clanged.

Wearing that heavy armor, with the support of several personal soldiers, he finally climbed onto the horse and galloped away.Everyone on the high ground watched the old general's majestic back, but their eyes were quite complicated.

"Zongfu!" "The minister is here!" "You lead the army of the headquarters, and I am allocating 5 people for you to launch a tentative attack on the enemy's right wing and try to find out the enemy's strength. I have a hunch that the enemy's The heavy troops are likely to be hidden on the right flank."

"Obey, Your Majesty! I will take down the enemy for my emperor!" "Don't be too forceful. If you encounter too strong resistance, you can decide to retreat on your own."

Zongfu raised his head in surprise, mobilizing before the battle, it was said as loudly as possible, the generals always patted their chests for assurance. "Never die! Go through fire and water! Destroy the enemy to the death! A big victory is guaranteed by the head!" It is common to issue military orders before an attack. It is almost a mobilization routine before every battle, but Jin Taizong is so easy-going and understatement. "It's fine if you can't beat it"!

Seeing Zongfu's confusion, Jin Taizong said to everyone: "Zongfu, in today's battle, our country has mobilized unprecedented troops, and we have already brought in an overwhelming army. There are no fewer than 10 Jurchen athletes alone. It can be said that It is because I mobilized [-]% of the population of Jurchen men. Therefore, we can only win this war and not lose. The battlefield is nearly a hundred miles away. It is up to you to command and make active and flexible adjustments according to the battlefield situation! As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, I don’t mind if you adjust my orders. Generals, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders.”

The generals of the Kingdom of Jin knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will fight with all my strength and will never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Zongfu nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will follow His Majesty's instructions and try my best to take down the enemy's positions! Even if I can't, I will at least find out the truth about the enemy for our army!" Total victory!"

"Brothers, His Majesty is waiting for our good news on the high slope!" Riding on a tall horse, Wan Yan Zonghan ran between the various teams.He pulled out his saber high and swung it forward, the blade reflecting the brilliance of the scorching sun was dazzling.He shouted loudly: "For Your Majesty, fight bravely! Brave warriors, go!"

His Majesty the Great Kingdom of Jin is with him, and the Supreme Lord of the Kingdom of Jin is watching him from the high slope!Amidst the old general's hoarse shouts, the blood of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin was boiling with enthusiasm, and a spirit of resignation to death penetrated into the hearts of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin.

The battle flag was waved, the drums were thundering, and there was a clamor in the army formation of the Jin** Army. The soldiers of Wanyan Zonghan's army let go of their throats and cheered: "Long live the Great Jin Empire! Kill!"

"Advance!" There was a loud bang on the plain, and the offensive echelon of Wanyan Zonghan's army composed of countless phalanxes rolled forward, with the metallic light of armored shields and spears shining on the front of the formation.The momentum of the entire attack was like a tsunami, unstoppable like an avalanche.Under the iron hooves and footsteps of the hundred thousand soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, the ground was so trampled that it shook.

"The Kingdom of Jin has begun to attack!" Seeing the enemy's right flank rising up with black smoke and dust, the atmosphere was tense among the generals of the Song Army at the head of Zhongjing City.

Soon, the Jin Kingdom's army rushed into the forest, "Kill!" There was a rumbling sound of fighting in the forest on the horizon, one after another, resounding through the sky continuously.The fighting continued until twilight began to fall.

Although the night is falling, you can clearly see the traces left by the Jin Kingdom's cavalry galloping across the plains, the flattened grass and bushes, left with broken guns and arrows and black corpses. , a piece of black corpses of Jin Guobing covered the originally yellow high slope.

The battle on the right hand side continued to roar. It was the Song Army's artillery and the Jin Kingdom's catapults firing at each other. No one could tell how many boulders and fireballs the two sides had thrown at each other in the past two hours. .

The top of Zhongjing City was cracked everywhere by thousands of boulders falling from the sky, and there were rubble and debris everywhere.

The offensive continued, and Jin Taizong invested a large number of troops to fight in turn, and did not rest at night.At every moment, countless corpses beaten to pieces by the artillery of the Song Army were lifted from the position, and the casualties of the catapults and catapults who were under the care of the artillery were even more astonishing.

In the middle of the night, countless fire dragons from the south entered the Zhongjing City and various defense areas of the Song Army.The 20 Southern Army Corps and tens of thousands of Imperial Guards led by Song Emperor Zhao Zhen arrived.Since then, the military strength of the Song Army and the Jin Kingdom has become one to one, and the total strength of the two sides has exceeded one million!A battle between the emperor and the emperor has officially begun!

In the early morning, a round of red sun has just risen slowly from the eastern horizon, and the sunlight has just cast on the ground.And the first drum sound came from a distance, and then the war drums sounded one after another, ten sides, a hundred sides, a thousand sides, the drums on the entire front were loud and deafening.

"Attack!" "Long live! Long live!" Thousands of chests uttered a sound at the same time, and the rumbling was like thunder in the sky, causing the horses to neigh in unison.
