I am Da Song

Chapter 14 Serious Military Discipline
Zhao Huan looked at Wanyan Lou's room under the city with a smile, and said, "I said, I will return to Tokyo to persuade the court officials."

Then Zhao Huanjian pointed to the two eunuchs standing aside with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and said: "They are called the imperial court and the hundred officials, but they don't agree with what I said. So there is nothing I can do. If Commander Jin is dissatisfied, he can come and kill him These two people."

Names such as Dynasty and Mahan can exist. Zhao Huan insisted that the two eunuchs were called the court and Baiguan, but the two eunuchs did not dare to refute, so they could only smile on their faces that were uglier than crying.It's over, it's over, playing with the Jin army outside the city like this, after breaking the city, other people may still have a way to survive, but I'm afraid the two of them will surely die.

Even the two servants knew that this was Zhao Huan playing with the Jin army outside the city.A generation of outstanding people finished Yan Lou's family, and instantly figured out the form. The emperor of the Song Dynasty had already strengthened his heart to fight to the death.

If the Jin army was not so arrogant, and it was not the general Wanyan Loushi who came, but the state minister Wanyan Zonghan, then he would be able to understand the current situation more clearly.Knowing that the most sensible choice at present is to withdraw troops immediately, the Golden Army has achieved all its strategic goals.The emperor of the Song Dynasty had professed his ministers and knelt down to offer a form of surrender. The Song Dynasty court had already sent a large amount of gold and silver indemnities. Even the Kaifeng government had looted all the mules and horses in Kaifeng City a few days ago, and collected the last [-] horses and gave them to the Jin army.As a result, officials in the Song Dynasty even had to walk when they went to court.

There is not much wealth left in Kaifeng, and there is only one stubborn emperor left in the inner city, forcing the army to fight stubbornly.

Next, no matter what Jin Jun does, he is depleting his prestige and wealth.

But Wanyan Loushi is a more pure general, he only knew that he was being played, and immediately burst into anger, shouting: "Attack, kill into the city, after defeating the city, no chicken or dog will be left behind!"

Zhao Huan waved away the "imperial court" and "hundred officials" around him.No matter what method I use to block the golden man's mouth, it is just a joke after dinner.The confrontation between the two countries will eventually return to the golden and iron horses, and close combat.The side with bigger fists and stronger military strength can say everything is the truth in the world.If the Song army is now armored with millions of people and their martial virtues are prosperous, Zhao Huan doesn't even bother to find an excuse to stop the Jinren's mouth. If he throws out a generation of washing powder, he can directly order the Jinjun to be crushed into dust.

However, the performance of the Song army under the city could not live up to Zhao Huan's ardent expectations.

As Zhao Huan and Zhang Shuye talked about, the Song army had rotted to the root. Even if Zhao Huan rewarded them with gold and silver mountains, and each had hundreds of bolts of silk, they still didn't have the slightest awareness to fight bravely.If this generous incentive was given to the Ming army, the Ming army could push back from Shanhaiguan all the way to Changbai Mountain, and hang all the men, women and children of the Qing army on the black soil of Baishan.

But in the city of Tokyo, in front of the emperor, the heavy cavalry of the Jin army rode bravely and rode heavy armor, and made a violent assault. The more than 300 soldiers of the Song army lined up on the Longjin Bridge collapsed, crying for their parents and fleeing towards the Suzaku Gate.

Zhang Shuye couldn't hold back his face, and looked at the officials with a face of shame. Song Jun's unbearable performance in front of the officials really made the Privy Council feel ashamed.

But what surprised all the generals was that the official stood in front of the battlements without any anger at all. Quietly watching Song Jun rushing around the city.

Liu Fan yelled on the city wall: "The crossbow shoots the arrows and kills the Jin army."

A dense crowd of archers stood beside the battlements holding their crossbows, and arrows rained down on the city for a while.

Although the soldiers of the Song Army were not wise and brave, they were not lacking in cunning.The soldiers calculated very clearly, if they help the officials guard the city, they will have no worries about food and clothing in the next life.But if the Jin army invaded the city, let alone whether the gold and silver mountains were still there, I might lose my life.The general of the Golden Army who was under the city just now issued a military order, and after breaking the city, no dogs or chickens will be left behind.

What's more, the government has just distributed so much gold and silver treasures to everyone, and the big guys have to shoot a few arrows to be worthy of this reward.

The arrows and rocks rained down on the top of the city, and the Jin army did not carry siege equipment, so the soldiers could only be exposed to the range of bows and arrows.

Wanyan Loushi was also watching the battle from a distance, knowing that he had to retreat.Although the Song army was weak and cowardly and vulnerable in field battles, they still had the courage to stand on the top of the city and shoot arrows.

Today's battle was originally a test. If Song Jun opened the Suzaku Gate to accept the rout, then he would take advantage of the situation and take the inner city.If the Song Army refuses to open the city gate, he can also hit the morale of the defenders, so that the Song Army will no longer dare to go out of the city to fight.

Now that the goal has been achieved, if it continues, it will only consume Jin Jun's life in vain.Wait until you return to camp to bring sufficient siege equipment, and then attack the city.

In the order, the Jin army withdrew from the Longjin Bridge in an orderly manner. Wanyan Loushi led his troops to stand guard until the entire army withdrew, and then led his troops to retreat slowly at the end.Before leaving, Wanyan Loushi took a deep look at the city wall, and calmly stared at the official family of Song Dynasty below the city.What is Lord Song thinking?Why do you look calm when you see this kind of defeat?Puzzled, Wanyan Loushi could only leave with deep doubts.

When the figure of Wanyan Loushi disappeared, all the people in the city looked at the Song army who was in a panic under the city.

On the stiff muddy ground, nearly a thousand soldiers looked panic-stricken. There were pale faces when they ran for their lives in a hurry, hysteria after fear of death, and of course joy after the disaster. After all, saving one life means being able to win With that generous reward, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.Countless people look forward to a better life in the future, but no one feels ashamed of being defeated and fleeing.

Looking at these Song soldiers who survived the catastrophe, Zhang Shuye had mixed feelings in his heart.Fearing that the officials would be angry and frustrated, Zhang Shuye persuaded Zhao Huan: "Officials, go back to the palace first. Commander Liu will reorganize the army and boost the morale of the army."

Zhao Huan looked at Zhang Shuye, with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, I won't walk away sullenly like last time. The performance of the imperial army today is much better than in the past, isn't it? At least not Fell to the wind, but lined up on the spot and fought with the Jin army."

Although playing this game is also a one-touch collapse.

Zhang Shuye complimented: "It all depends on the officials' efforts to inspire the army and reward the soldiers."

Zhao Huan was noncommittal, turned to look at the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and asked: "Although I have never personally experienced military and horse conquests, I would like to ask all of you warriors, whether there is a military law in the dry city of the country? It is impossible, There is no law and discipline, only rewards and no punishment? Is there a custom in our Song army to flee without any investigation?"

"This..." A group of generals faltered.

"There is no need to hide it. I believe that no dynasty or generation of army can encourage soldiers to flee. When I was in charge of the army in the northwest, I also gave both kindness and power, rewards and punishments, and neither side nor abandonment." Zhao Huan turned outside the city. , Said calmly: "Enforce the military law."
