The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 228 Fake Attack
"What, His Majesty the Emperor has passed away?" Wan Yanchang said with a look of surprise.

"Such a big event happened in Shangjing, why is it only the Prime Minister Wanyan Satan and the seal letter of the Second King?" Wanyan Zongbi asked the messenger with a frown.

The messenger hesitated for a moment, and said to Wanyan Zongbi: "Second Great King, Second Great King, he is dead!"

"What did you say?" Wanyan Zongbi was anxious at that time, he strangled the soldier's neck, and said in a cold voice, "Who do you say is dead?"

"The Second Great King advised the First Emperor not to be addicted to wine and sex. The First Emperor... the First Emperor was furious and sent troops to intercept and kill the Second Great King halfway." The messenger stammered.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

"No, I have to go to work and return to the court immediately." Wanyan Zongbi said, after such a big incident happened in Shangjing, Wanyan Zongbi said that he didn't have the heart to continue fighting.

"Who will succeed now?" Wan Yanchang asked anxiously.

"This subordinate doesn't know. This subordinate is only responsible for delivering orders. As for other matters, this subordinate doesn't know at all!" the soldier said softly.

"Immediately send an order for our troops to return to the court." Wanyan Zongbi said.

"But now our army is at war with the Song army, how can we return to the court casually?" Wan Yanchang said.

"I still don't know what's going on in Shangjing. I'm still fighting bloody battles here, but don't let the capital be handed over by others. Then what's the point of our army's conquest here?" Wanyan Zongbi said in a trembling voice.

"It's just that the three armies of the Song Army are all at the same time. If our army wants to withdraw at this time, I'm afraid it will not be so easy." Wanyan Xiyin said softly.

"Because the news has not yet reached the Song Dynasty, the withdrawal of the troops now will save some losses. If the emperor of the Song Dynasty also gets the news, there is no guarantee that he will not bite us, and it will be even more troublesome then." Wanyan Zonghan Said.

"You have to be careful about withdrawing troops. Don't let the Song army find any flaws. You have to think of a perfect plan." Wan Yanchang said softly.

Soon, the Jin army made the decision to return to the imperial court, and the new king succeeded to the throne. These generals didn't necessarily care about who would be the next emperor, but probably cared more about how to divide up the new land's profit cake.

Zhao Huan has come to Shicheng, and the city lord's mansion in Shicheng has become Zhao Huan's temporary residence.

In the hall, there were Liu Qi and other veteran generals, as well as Liu Moyu, Qi Baifeng and other newcomers. At this time, they were surrounding Zhao Huan, discussing the countermeasures to encircle the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, the general observed that the Jin Army seems to be increasing its troops." Liu Qi bowed and said to Zhao Huan.

"Oh? There are other things like this. Could it be that the Jin army is putting on a stance to fight our army to the death?" Zhao Huan said softly, "Where did you get this news?"

"It's thanks to His Majesty's allocation of this thing called a telescope to the entire army. This thing is really useful. After our spies are equipped with this kind of equipment, it can be said that they really become clairvoyant." Liu Qi said with a smile .

Hearing the old general's flattery for him, Zhao Huan was also very useful, saying: "Although this thing is useful, but what the eyes see is not necessarily true, so the most important thing now is to find out. Jin Jun's intention."

"Accordingly speaking, the Jin army should not change the attitude of wanting to confront our army now. After all, it is not yet deep winter, and the Yellow River has not yet frozen. The Jin army should still use delaying tactics. Yes." Liu Moyu said softly.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, but our army's spies haven't found any specific information yet." Qi Baifeng said softly.

"Send out spies to continue the investigation. First of all, we must confirm whether the Jin army is really increasing its troops, and then find a way to find out the Jin army's combat intentions." Zhao Huan ordered.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the real purpose of the Jin army is, our army should not take it lightly at this time, and should have made preparations earlier." Liu Qi suggested.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "How is the situation between Yue Fei and Zong Ze?"

"The news from Yue Fei has come back that today he will lead an army straight to Daming City, ready to annihilate the puppet Qi's rule in one fell swoop." Qi Baifeng replied.

"Lord Zongze has also taken action, but the Jin army seems to be on guard against the East Road. Wanyan Xiyin has led an army of [-] to suppress it. It is difficult for Lord Zongze to cooperate with our actions. .” Liu Moyu answered.

Zhao Huan frowned and said: "The speed is still too slow. I ordered Yue Fei that Liu Yu's army is a mob. You don't need to put too much energy on the puppet Qi. If I want him to hold back the Jin army's west road, then we will be able to move forward." Complete the encirclement of the Jin army."

The next day, Wanyan Zongbi led the army to attack first.

The water army led by Qi Baifeng has tightly blocked the water surface of the Yellow River. According to the current equipment conditions of the Jin army, it is naturally impossible to make any progress.

The Jin army's offensive was huge, and an overwhelming [-] troops rolled up, which surprised Qi Baifeng and ordered all the sailors to be on guard.

Zhao Huan stood on the top of the stone city, looked at the crowd of people in front of him with binoculars, and felt like little ants were running wildly under the city wall.

"Is the Jin army going to attack by force?" Zhao Huan asked softly.

"Jin Jun's current posture is very strange. It always feels like there is a lot of thunder and little rain." Liu Qi shook his head and said.

Zhao Huan turned his head to look at Liu Qi, and asked suspiciously, "What does this sentence mean?"

"Look, Your Majesty, although the Jin army sent out a large number of troops this time, they did not use any siege equipment. Although the Jin army is not attacking the city now, if large siege equipment such as catapults are really Pushing it up, there is still a big threat to our army's warships, but now the Jin army is useless, just leading a group of infantry to charge forward, so the last general feels strange, this way, is There is no way to break through General Qi's blockade." Liu Qi explained to Zhao Huan.

Hearing what Liu Qi said, Zhao Huan also frowned. If this is really the case, then what is the purpose of Jin Jun?

The Jin army had already entered the range, Qi Baifeng gave an order, and the warship started firing the crossbow on the bed, and the huge crossbow arrows "swish" and shot towards the Jin army.

The army of the Kingdom of Jin seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After seeing the Song army's bed crossbow launch, they immediately raised up the huge shield. After seeing the power of the bed crossbow, the Jin army has also learned to be smart. .
