The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 350 Siege
Zhao Tao wanted to say something, but was forcibly taken down by Li Biao and others.

Zhang Wu looked at Zhao Tao who was being taken down, turned his head and said to Hao Jingcheng: "My lord, now I am standing in the same boat as you, you must help me!"

Hao Jingcheng nodded, and said to Zhang Wu: "This is the most correct decision you have made in your life!"

In the time it took to speak, the vanguard of the Jin army had already arrived at the city of Licheng.

"Hurry up and open the city gate!" The Jin army below the city shouted towards the top.

"General, what shall we do?" The soldier in front ran over and asked Zhang Wu for instructions.

Zhang Wu turned his head to look at Hao Jingcheng, unconsciously, now Hao Jingcheng has become his backbone.

"Tell them, stop moving forward, don't go any further!" Hao Jingcheng said lightly.

The messenger looked at Hao Jingcheng, but didn't know Hao Jingcheng's identity. At this moment, he said subconsciously: "If we don't let them advance, won't they advance? I'm afraid they won't listen to our arrangement."

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said softly: "If they don't listen, it's easy to deal with. Take the bows and arrows in your hands and shoot them!"

The messenger was taken aback, and hurried to see Zhang Wu, but at this moment, he found that Zhang Wu did not refute, nodded and said, "Just do as your lord ordered."

"General, but we only have more than 1 defenders, and the Jin army on the opposite side seems to have tens of thousands of people." The messenger whispered.

"Nonsense, don't I have my eyes open? Can I not see? Do you need to tell me?" Zhang Wu said angrily, "Hurry up!"

When the messenger saw that Zhang Wu was angry, he hurried away.

"Our general said that you are not allowed to enter the city, you should go elsewhere." Soon, the orderly shouted loudly towards the bottom.

The general of the Jin army leading the army below is Wan Yanchun. Hearing the shouts of the people above at this time, his nose was almost crooked in anger. I think that when the army marched south, the defenders of Licheng surrendered directly. The army didn't pay too much attention to this Licheng, and still appointed Song Dynasty officials who surrendered, but they didn't expect that this group of people would actually betray their trust at the critical moment.

"General, what should we do? Let's go in?" A soldier from the Kingdom of Jin next to him said to Wan Yanchun.

Wan Yanchun tightly gripped the giant ax in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said to the soldiers next to him: "You report this matter to the general immediately."

The messenger next to him hurried to report the matter to Wanyan Zonghan.

The [-]-strong army of the Jin Army was too many, and morale was relatively low. At this time, the team dragged on for a long time, and the messengers rushed all the way to report the news to Wanyan Zonghan.

After Wanyan Zonghan heard the news, he was also surprised, frowned and said: "Song Jun and the others dare to do this!"

The lieutenant next to him, Wan Yan, said to Wan Yan Zonghan: "General, the Song army has always been treacherous, this has always been their tradition, even their emperor is such a person, we shouldn't trust them too much at that time. "

Wanyan Zonghan glared at Wanyan Shi, and said: "What's the use of talking about this now, the most urgent thing now is to solve the problem in front of us."

Wanyan Shi was stared at by Wanyan Zonghan, and knew that saying these things at this time was really useless, took a deep breath, and said to Wanyan Zonghan: "General, at this time, we can only rush up and break open the city gate. This is the way to go.”

Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan in front of him suspiciously, and asked, "Why?"

Wanyan said to Wanyan Zonghan: "General, look at the current situation. The morale of our army is low, and we urgently need a victory to boost morale."

After a pause, Wanyan went on to say: "If you don't fight this battle, then we have to go around this Licheng, which is extremely unfavorable to our army, so we have to fight this battle , and must win a big victory!"

Wanyan Zonghan heard what Wanyan said, frowned and said: "I naturally hope that this battle can be won, but what if we can't win? You know, if we can't break through this city in a short time What does that mean to us?"

"General, Song Jun has a saying that if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. If you die, you will live. Now, instead of our army being chased by Song Jun like this, it is better to break open the city gate. Otherwise, when will we run?" Is it the end?" Wan Yan asked back.

Wanyan Zonghan frowned, pondered and did not speak.

Wan Yan continued: "General, as long as our army can break through the gate of Licheng, when the time comes, the army will be stationed in Licheng, relying on this city wall to defend, even if the Song army comes with 20 troops, we will not attack it. fear."

"Of course I understand what you said, but what you're thinking about is when the city is broken, what if the city cannot be broken?" Wanyan Zonghan asked back.

"Great general, ever since we followed His Majesty the Taizu, our Dajin soldiers have fought bloody battles. Even in such a difficult environment, we are not afraid. Now that our army is several times that of the enemy's, are we going to shrink back? The mourning army must win, at this time, we have no choice but to fight with our backs, and only in this way can we save the precarious situation of our Dajin Kingdom!" Wanyan said excitedly.

Wanyan Zonghan's heart moved. Wanyan's words are right. When Jin Kingdom was first established, the conditions were so difficult, but the people of Jin Kingdom still survived tenaciously. The life now is much more comfortable than that time. A comfortable life can wear down one's fighting spirit. When encountering danger at this time, the first thing I think of is to shrink back.

Wanyan Zonghan smiled wryly, and said to Wanyan: "You are right, but I have some benevolence of a woman. Well, just as you said, pass on my military order, and the whole army will attack. Within an hour, I want to open the gate of Licheng, whoever is the first to break through the city will be rewarded by this general, and if anyone dares to escape, he will be dealt with directly by military law!"

When Wanyan heard what Wanyan Zonghan said, she was excited and saluted Wanyan Zonghan, saying: "General, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to the general's entrustment!"

Wanyan Zonghan's right eyelid twitched violently a few times. At this time, Wanyan Zonghan always had an ominous premonition in his heart. He didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong. He shook his head and let these messy thoughts Cleared up, and then said to the messenger: "Send all the spies to me, and pay close attention to the movements of the Song army."
