Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 205 Reinforcement
Wanyan Huonu looked at Zhang Jun who was not far ahead, her eyes spit fire.This Song general is really difficult to deal with, it has been two days, Wanyan Huonu still can't grasp his marching rules.Having learned the lesson from last time, I didn't dare to chase after him, and my heart was simmering with fire.

Zhang Jun divided the army into three parts, and he brought less than 200 people with him to deal with the Wanyan live girls who came out to drive them away.The other two departments, each with more than 200 people, were led by Chai Biao and Jiang Qing respectively.They were all hiding in the mountains near Shanzhou. Seeing the opportunity, they suddenly came out to help Shanzhou defend the city.As soon as the Jin army sent troops to besiege, they immediately fled to the mountains.

It has been two days since I returned to the city outside Shanzhou.Zhang Jun could see clearly that the defense of Shanzhou was very difficult.The city wall has been damaged in many places. Almost every day, the Jin army broke into the city, and was forced out by the Song army inside.No one knows how long Li Yanxian can hold on.

In Shanzhou city, Zhang Chi hugged his steel knife tightly, leaned against the base of the wall, looked at the sun in the sky, and was a little dazed.I never thought that war is like this.It has been six or seven days since I entered the city, and I have worn out seven steel knives, all with curled blades.The weapons in Wang Xiaohun's army are all carefully crafted.His own steel knife is like this, others can be imagined.

At this time, Li Yanxian's deployment was that the former Shanzhou troops defended the city, and Zhang Chi led his [-] men to assist the places that were broken by the Jin army at any time.The first few days were fine, but in the last three or four days, Zhang Chi fought bloody battles almost day and night.

Kang Yi on one side licked his lips and wiped his steel knife.Suddenly he said to Zhang Chi on the side: "Commander, it has been seven days since we arrived in Shanzhou. A lot of people have been killed in these two days, and I suddenly miss my hometown."

Zhang Chi nodded: "Yes, I miss my parents too. On New Year's Day, our army set off, and my father and younger brother went to Xinye City to see me. As a result, I didn't even see each other. Gone. This time, I don’t know if I can go back to my hometown—”

"The east of the city is broken! Hurry up—"

Zhang Chi suddenly jumped up from the ground, dragged his long knife, and sternly shouted: "Kill!" He ran to the east of the city first.

When I rushed to the east of the city, I saw more than [-] Jin soldiers who had already descended from the city wall and came to kill along the long street.Most of the nearby Song Dynasty people climbed onto the roof, uncovering the tiles and throwing the Jin army below.There are golden troops with bows, bows and arrows, and people are shot and fell from time to time.

Zhang Chi led his subordinates to kill Jin Jun with his sword raised.Up to now, everyone doesn't even want to talk anymore, they just hold out their knives and fight.Just a cup of tea, these more than 30 golden queens were all chopped down to the ground.

Zhang Chi ordered his soldiers to help the people.Holding a knife, he walked in the pile of corpses in a daze, stabbing anyone who was panting.There is no food in the city of Shanzhou, and none of the Jinjun can stay alive.

Li Yanxian on the tower looks like a bone, with only a pair of piercing eyes.Seeing Zhang Chi in the city leading the soldiers to kill for a while, inspecting the battlefield, and then sitting in twos and threes at the base of the wall, Li Yanxian sighed.

These are people who have been in the military for a year, or even less than a year.Entering Shanzhou, one will face the most brutal war.Li Yanxian could tell that there were some people who were afraid, some people who were unwilling to face blood, all kinds of people.But against the enemy, they never flinched.When they need to stand up, they go up with a knife.If they need to work hard, they will work hard.

The Jin army's determination to attack Shanzhou this time is unprecedented.Since last winter, the Golden Army has used the Central Route Army to cooperate with the East Route Army to go south with all its strength, mainly attacking Zhao Gou and Queen Mother Longyou.The West Route Army left Lou Su, concentrated almost all its forces, and attacked Shanzhou with all its strength.Capture Shanzhou and open the door to attack Shaanxi.

The Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty in two directions, east and west.One faction advocates attacking the East Road, while the other faction advocates attacking Sichuan and Shaanxi.The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin finally decided to focus on the east road this time, but he did not give up on the west road.The focus of the West Road is to break through Shanzhou.

With a sigh of relief, Li Yanxian walked to the edge of the city wall and looked outside the city.The Jin army's camp was endless, and Zhang Jun's team only poked its head out on the mountain occasionally.Although able to disperse the power of the Jin army, Zhang Jun could not completely break the siege of Shanzhou, he was just delaying time.

Thinking of what Zhang Chi said about the Wang Xiaohun army who came to the rescue, Li Yanxian felt a little powerless.To save Shanzhou, a large army must come.But when will the army arrive here?A few days late, maybe only myself and the bones of these soldiers are left in the city of Shanzhou.

At night, Zhang Jun and his subordinates rested at the foot of the leeward mountain.These days he couldn't get enough to eat, and in the middle of the night, Zhang Junsheng woke up from hunger.Sitting in the tent with his knees hugged, Zhang Jun was distraught.

At this moment, a soldier came over and called softly outside the tent.

Zhang Jun said impatiently: "What's the matter in the middle of the night? It's not urgent, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

The soldiers said: "Control, just now a scout came back from Guozhou, and I have something important to report!"

Zhang Jun walked out of the tent impatiently.Said: "Guozhou is also out of food, what's the matter to report! Zhiniang thief, if this continues, we will starve to death here before the big observation army arrives!"

The soldiers stepped forward and whispered: "Tongzhi, the former army Shao Tongzhi has left Guozhou, and he may be in Lingbao County today!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but get excited, and his whole body immediately cheered up.I look forward to it every day and night, and finally look forward to the arrival of the army.

Outside the tent, Shao Ling stood on the bank of the Yellow River, looking at the frozen Yellow River.Under the starlight, a group of wild geese lay quietly on the river, motionless.The arrival of the army did not seem to disturb the group of elves.

The soldiers ran over quickly and said, "Tong Zhi, Zhang Jun and Zhang Tong Zhi, who we came before, are asking to see you!"

Shao Ling hurriedly said, "Tell him to meet me in my handsome tent!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly returned to the handsome tent.Not long after, Zhang Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and entered the handsome tent.

Shao Ling said: "It looks like you have run hard on the road, sit down and have a rest. Drink a cup of tea, let's talk."

Zhang Jun sat down on his seat and took a sip of the tea brought by the soldiers.Said: "Brother, I'm looking forward to here day and night, and I'm looking forward to you!"

Shao Ling said: "There are mountain roads all the way, and it's really difficult to walk. I arrived in Guozhou yesterday, and I heard from Shao Zhizhou that Shanzhou is very difficult now. I didn't dare to delay, so I rushed here overnight. I thought I would send an army to attack Lingzhou tomorrow. Baoxian, I will bring the army to Shanzhou to find you."

Zhang Jun waved his hands again and again: "There are not many Jin soldiers in Lingbao County, so don't worry about them. As long as Shanzhou is defended, the Jin army will naturally retreat. The most important thing now is Shanzhou, there really can't wait!"

"It is said that Shanzhou can wait, why can't it wait? Could it be that it can't wait for a few days?" After hearing what Zhang Jun said, Shao Ling was a little dissatisfied.When he was in Guozhou yesterday, Shao Xing said the same thing.But what is going on, but it is not clear.

Zhang Jundao: "Since three or four days ago, the Jin army will break through the city every day. However, the people in the city are really tenacious. When the Jin army attacked, they were all driven out. The east and west walls of the city have been broken, but the people in the city have no energy to continue. Repaired. If there is no army coming, I guess Shanzhou will not be able to defend for five days. Even if you are unlucky, it is not surprising that the city will be broken tomorrow."

Shao Ling frowned when he heard this: "Can't you help defend the city with your cavalry outside?"

Zhang Jun smiled wryly: "Without my thousand cavalry, the Jin army would have captured Shanzhou long ago. Now my cavalry is divided into four parts. One part is led by Zhang Chi in the city, helping Li Guan to defend the city. The other part is led by me. Attract the Jin army to attack. There are two more, scattered in the mountains outside the city, and harass the siege Jin army whenever they have the opportunity. Moreover, our army has run out of food and grass, and it will not last for a few days."

Shao Ling nodded, and did not speak for a while, thinking quietly there.After a while, he said: "It seems that the situation in Shanzhou is worse than I expected. I originally thought that it was because the Jin army besieged the city too tightly and there was a shortage of food in the city."

Zhang Jun shook his head again and again: "It's not just that? Since many days ago, the Jin army has been attacking the city day and night. It's not that Li Jian is dedicated to the country, and the city is guarded tightly. How can another person defend it until today? By now, the city is exhausted. gone."

Shao Ling stood up and took a few steps back and forth.Turning around, he said to Zhang Jun: "If you are Lou Su and you see my army coming, what should you do? Should you withdraw your troops immediately, or continue to attack the city while fighting with me?"

Zhang Jun didn't think about it.Said: "Naturally, while attacking the city, at the same time send troops to fight against you."

Seeing Shao Ling's unbelievable look.Zhang Jundao: "Brother, think about it carefully, there is nothing strange about this matter. Since last autumn, the troops from Jinjun Hezhong Road and East Road have moved southward, and their fronts have reached Zhejiang and Jiangxi. The tens of thousands of troops outside the city of Shanzhou are Lou Su. Almost all the troops that can be mobilized. There is still more than one and a half months to siege the city, how can he give up halfway? As long as there are not enough troops to come, he will not abandon Shanzhou."

Shao Ling nodded and didn't speak for a while.The situation in Shanzhou is much worse than I estimated.Originally, Shao Ling thought that when his five thousand troops arrived, the Jin army should withdraw from the encirclement.It's nothing more than confronting himself in Pinglu or somewhere else.As long as you can resist it, when Wang Xiaohun's army comes from behind, the two sides will fight to the death.Surrounding Shanzhou City, although it is possible to break the city, it is also possible to be flanked by two sides.But according to Zhang Jun, his 5000 people are not enough to rescue Shanzhou.

Shanzhou is located on the main road between Jingzhao Mansion and Luoyang. When Lou Su attacked, he considered reinforcements.It's a pity that Shaanxi did not send troops, and Zhai Xing's strength was not enough. Lou Sukong had a large army but had no place to use it.Let alone Shaoling's 5000 people, Wang Xiaolie's 5000 people may not be able to scare Lou Su away.At this time, Shanzhou is at the end of its battle, and Lou Su will not withdraw his troops easily.

After thinking again and again, Shao Ling said decisively: "Since that's the case, I will bury the pot and make a meal before dawn tomorrow, and set off as early as possible, and try to reach the outside of Shanzhou city in the afternoon! The most important thing in this battle is Shanzhou, and we must not let it go." The city fell into the hands of the golden man! The rest of the matter will be discussed after observation!"
