I am Da Song

Chapter 26

There are too many deeds of Song Jun's collapse, which makes Zhao Huan really not have much confidence.

Even if there are bows and crossbows to help on the city wall, it is normal for the Song army to collapse under the city wall.Just this morning Zhao Huan witnessed this fiasco with his own eyes.

Now that the situation has come to the time to go out of the city to hide and kill, Zhao Huan is in a heavy heart, not knowing what will happen.

But even so, Zhao Huan quickly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said to Liu Fan: "I have entrusted Qing with the full power of defending the inner city. You can make a decisive decision on the battle and defense, and there is no need to ask me for instructions."

Do not use doubtful people, and do not use suspicious people when employing people. This is what Zhao Huan should do most in this situation.

The country is in danger, and the monarch and ministers still believe it at this time, so don't try to help the building to collapse.

Liu Fan replied again: "I will live up to the high trust of the officials! If there is a mistake, I am willing to die to serve the high regard of the officials."

"I don't need your life. What I want is to defend the inner city. If there is anything else, I can help, but your words are fine."

In the face of a national crisis, Liu Fan did not make too many polite remarks, and immediately said: "This time out of the city is related to the morale of the whole army, and it is related to the first battle. I ask the government to send a high-ranking military official to lead the army in person."

High-ranking military official?

Zhao Huan thought for a moment, who are the high-ranking military officials in the Song Army's imperial army?Privy envoy?Zhang Shuye?

Of course not, Zhang Shuye is the prime minister, the minister in charge of dispatching troops, and a high-ranking existence among civil servants.

It is the Sanya who are really in charge of the imperial army, that is, the Dianqian Division, the Guards' Army Ma Junsi, and the Guards' Army Infantry Division.

Of course, according to the humorous officialdom customs of the Song Dynasty, none of the three yamen has a chief official, and none of them are commanders.

The deputy capital commander is in charge of the affairs of the department. For example, Dian Shuai is the deputy capital commander Wang Zongguan in front of the palace.Ma Shuai is Guo Zhongxun, who is in charge of the guard Ma Junsi.

Zhao Huan said: "Let Guo Zhongxun lead the troops to fight. All the horses of the Ma Junsi were searched and given to the Jin Army. He is a handsome horse. It's time to show the significance of his existence!"

When Guo Zhongxun got the military order, his face turned pale with fright.As the actual commander of the Forbidden Army, Guo Zhongxun really understood the virtues of these Forbidden Army.

I'm afraid that before I walk out of the Baokangmen bridge, the forbidden army will be defeated.

Wu Ge also felt that something was wrong, so he asked Zhao Huan for orders, saying: "I and more than a hundred of my subordinates are willing to die for the country, and will never be defeated by the wind, and are willing to be the vanguard."

Zhao Huan immediately refused. In order to save the country in history, these people even killed their wives and sons before fighting the Jin people.

This kind of loyal seedling is about to go to the city, and I am afraid that he will never return.

Besides, the promise of a big country cannot only rely on the support of more than a hundred people in this area.Everyone must serve Guoen!The Forbidden Army cannot continue to be sluggish like this.

"You don't need to go to fight. You bring 200 people and go to the city gate to supervise the battle! From today onwards, our army of the Great Song Dynasty will advance and retreat to wait for death. We must survive from death! Anyone who is on the verge of collapse will be executed!"

The emperor's attitude was firm, and Guo Zhongxun could only bite the bullet and go down to the city.

As Marshal Guo, Guo Zhongxun is very clear that guarding the city cannot be passive and defensive, the so-called long-term defense will lose.It was a very correct choice to go out of the city to fight the Jin army by surprise, to hit the morale of the Jin army, and to delay the offensive of the Jin army.

But if the person who leaves the city is himself, then Guo Zhongxun feels that it is safer to stick to the city.

Of course, Guo Zhongxun was not alone in thinking this way. Most of the two commanders appointed by Liu Fan had a total of 1000 people holding this idea.

At this time, the hearts of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not yet unified, and the loyal soldiers who served the country had already stepped out of the city gate, but the other forbidden soldiers who were accustomed to stealing, raping and playing tricks still hesitated.He dawdled in front of the city gate, unwilling to leave the city.

The people's hearts were not in harmony, which led to the collision of the army formations, and even chaos, blocking the city gate.

Even the Jin army who was filling the river discovered the abnormality of the city gate. The army stopped filling the river and began to gather, but the Song army had not yet assembled.

Liu Fan yelled at the city wall: "Ma Shuai, there are not many arrows on the city wall, and at most we can disrupt the formation of the Jin army once or twice. Please Ma Shuai lead the army out of the city immediately."

Guo Zhongxun saw that he couldn't delay, so he had to take the lead, walked out of the city gate, and began to regroup in front of the city gate.

Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to the imperial army operating the cannon mounts and bed crossbows on the city wall: "The whole army is aimed at the Jin army formation, and listen to my orders."

All the soldiers who were about to launch stopped their movements, and the soldiers who were on the string quickened their pace, and rows of defense equipment were aimed at the golden army on the shore, ready to go.

For a while, the noisy voices on the city wall fell into silence, and the atmosphere was particularly chilling.

Even the Jin army who was forming a team felt the abnormal atmosphere and looked towards the city in horror.

"All the army!" An order was issued, and the flag was waved.

On the city wall, arrows and rocks shot out, and black clouds covered the sun.Immediately there were shrill screams from the Jin army formation, and the Jin army formation was in chaos.

The drums in the inner city were beating loudly, the mountains were shaking the ground, and the agitation was like thunder.

According to Liu Fan's plan, when the Song army went out of the city at this time, they would be able to take advantage of the chaos of the Jin army and attack the Jin army by surprise, behead dozens of hundreds, and burn the Jin army's equipment.

However, the Forbidden Army, which was supposed to be as powerful as a dragon and march forward indomitably, flinched and snailed under the city wall.Guo Zhongxun trembled, and he didn't dare to lead others to charge.

Let the imperial army shoot arrows safely on the city wall, these people still have some confidence.But let them leave the city voluntarily, launch a fierce attack on the Jin army, and defeat the enemy in the field, the imperial army is really not yet mentally prepared.

Zhao Huan asked Song Jun to advance and retreat and wait for death, and he had to survive from death.Therefore, the way these people think of to survive death is to stay away from the front line!After all, if you don't fight, you won't face a choice. This is the solution that many forbidden soldiers "tactfully" thought of.

It is really not an easy task to unify the minds of the forbidden soldiers.

However, the Jin army was in a hurry to attack the city, and the inner city did not have much time to slowly recover the morale of the army.Redundancy must be used.

Zhao Huan angrily pushed away the heavy-armored guards in front of him. If Song Jun had been like this, then he would definitely not be able to defend the inner city, and it would make no difference whether he died on the top of the city or not.Rather than being tortured to death by the Jin army in the future, it is better to die directly by throwing stones.

If the fate made him die, he should die under the stone today.If the sky never stops my life, why should I shrink back?
So Zhao Huan stood in front of the battlements without avoiding the arrows and stones, drew out his sword, and threw it to the bottom of the city with all his strength.The sharp blade was more than a foot into the ground, and the exposed blade shook violently, reflecting the dazzling sword light.

Zhao Huan ordered decisively: "Anyone who dares to take half a step back from this sword today will be decisive!"

"Huangcheng Division, immediately execute Guo Zhongxun, the guard in charge of the Majun Division! Wang Zongguan, the deputy commander in front of the palace, will continue to lead the army!"
