The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 606 If I Don’t Die, I Will Pay in Blood

"My lord, the reinforcements from the imperial court have not come!"

Wu Yong said angrily, they had rushed to ask for reinforcements eight hundred miles away, but they didn't want to be ignored by the officials of the court, which meant to send them to death, which made them feel chilled.At this time, they were all angry. If Zhao Huan was here, they might really kill him.

"Let's not count on the court, let's rely on ourselves!" Zhao Gou guessed the result, and said calmly: "Nearly a month has passed, if the court really wanted to send reinforcements, they would have arrived long ago .”

"This situation is also within my expectations. The next step is to rely on ourselves. If this war ends, if I don't die, this blood debt must be paid with blood. Those brothers who died in battle will never let Their blood was shed in vain."

Lu Junyi was surprised and said: "My lord, you want to..."

"We will discuss this matter later, after the immediate crisis is resolved!" Zhao Gou interrupted Lu Junyi's words, and continued: "How long can our food last now? How much is the remaining force?"

Wu Yong sighed: "In less than three days, we will really run out of food and grass. As for the combat power, there are still about [-] people, and the rest will hardly be able to go to the battlefield again."

"Order the three armies to open the city gate the day after tomorrow and fight to the death with the Jin soldiers!"

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Life and death are up to fate. In addition, let the brothers go down and make preparations, take out all the remaining food, and let the brothers eat to their heart's content. If there is wine, take it out together." , After drinking and eating, we will fight the enemy to the death."

"The old and weak women and children in the city have been properly arranged?"

"Go back to the lord, they have successfully evacuated. Even the old and weak women and children in Guizhou, Tanzhou and other places have all evacuated, but the young and middle-aged have stayed behind. They are unwilling to watch their homes being trampled by the golden soldiers. , have joined the army."

"If it is the only male in the family, or if there is no one left behind, let them all evacuate." Zhao Gou said solemnly, "You should supervise this matter yourself, and it must be completed within two days."

Wu Yong nodded and immediately turned around and went down.

"Master, and have they moved?"

Gao Chong replied: "The princess and mother have all evacuated safely!"

Zhao Gou went on to say: "Then let the brothers have a good rest these days. After nourishing their energy, eat and drink enough, and fight the enemy to the death. In addition, if I die in the battle, you must go back alive. They will still need you in the future." s help."

"Besides, I have one more thing to ask you!"

Zhao Gou told Gao Chong about him and Fang Jinzhi, and told Gao Chong that if he survived, he must find Fang Jinzhi, mother and son, and protect their safety.Moreover, Zhao Gou also asked him to bring a sentence, saying that he could not protect them anymore and did not fulfill his original promise.

Gao Chong refused straightforwardly: "My lord, you should do this by yourself, I can't agree!"

"You..." Zhao Gou said helplessly, and seeing Gao Chong's stern rejection, he knew Gao Chong's intentions, which was to let him protect himself.

How could Gao Chong not know Zhao Gou's thoughts? Zhao Gou explained all the funeral affairs to him, that is to say, Zhao Gou himself may not be able to guarantee his survival, so he explained all the funeral affairs.However, how could Gao Chong agree, he can die in battle, but Zhao Gou cannot die in battle, this is his lifetime promise.

If Zhao Gou died, then everything would become meaningless.

Now that the Jin soldiers are approaching the city, the imperial court is unwilling to send a single soldier. Even if they try their best, they may not be able to win.The main reason is that the number of golden soldiers is too much larger than that of one's own side, and even one-on-one soldiers of one's own side may not be able to sustain it. This is well known.

Therefore, Zhao Gou issued an order to open the city gate and fight the enemy, which means that the situation has reached an uncontrollable situation.If you don't fight, then you will die waiting for yourself; if you fight, there is still a ray of life, and you can completely resist the army of Jin soldiers. Song's determination.

If Wanyan Sheng insists on going his own way, I'm afraid that the government and the opposition may not agree with it.Therefore, Wanyan Sheng will definitely order to retreat.However, no one can guarantee the outcome of this battle. Even Zhao Gou himself is worried, so he arranges everything well, so that he can fight without any worries.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang was even more furious in the account of the Jinbing Commander. He led an army of 10,000+ to attack the city continuously but could not take down the small Gubeikou, which made him feel so embarrassing.

"One and a half months have passed, and it will be two months in a few days. In the past two months, our army has continuously attacked the city, but failed to take down Gubei. Could it be that the enemy army is really so powerful, or is our army insufficient in combat effectiveness? Can any of you answer me?"

"If the Song Army's strength is comparable to ours, I can still accept such a result. However, the Song Army's strength is weaker than ours, and you can still achieve such a result. How can I explain to the emperor and the marshal? I don't care what method you use, and no matter what price you pay, I must break through Gubeikou and take down a city."

"Report to the general. According to the information from the front, the Song army is almost running out of food and grass. This is the best time for our army to take down Gubei. If we rush to attack, I am afraid that the number of casualties will increase."

Wanyan Zonghan said coldly: "On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable! If our troops are far superior to the Song army in this battle and we still fail, then I will lose all face in front of the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor will not go around pass us."

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan issued a death order and must take Gubeikou.

In fact, when they attacked Gubei before, the casualties of the Jin army were more than twice that of the Song army.Because the Song army occupied the natural danger, and the Jin soldiers took the initiative to attack one side, the Jin soldiers suffered more casualties.Even so, Wanyan Zonghan continued to attack Gubeikou without changing his original intention.

Originally, I thought that Gubeikou was just a small pass, and it would be easy to win if you want to win it.However, things were often beyond his expectations, and he was very annoyed that he had not achieved actual results after the continuous attack for nearly two months.

On the other hand, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng repeatedly ordered him to break through Gubeikou. Under such pressure, Wanyan Zonghan launched attacks recklessly.It's just that Zhao Gou has already prepared the army to attack, and no matter how they attack, they just can't take it.

If the imperial court did not give support, Zhao Gou would not have made a life-and-death decision.Because if it drags on, even if the Jin soldiers don't attack, they won't be able to defend. They can only watch the Jin soldiers' iron cavalry step into the land of the Song Dynasty, which will never happen to him anyway.

It was precisely because of Zhao Huan's inaction that Zhao Gou had the idea of ​​fighting for the throne for the first time.Even though Zhao Huan is still the current emperor, Zhao Gou still has a way to evade his power.If there were a few more ministers like Zhao Huan in Song Dynasty, I'm afraid his efforts would be in vain.
