Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 188 Arrogance
At the top of the city, he could only shake his head helplessly. It really wasn't a fluke that Jin Jun could come to this day.

However, alternately covering and retreating means moving slowly. During this period, Fan Zhuoyuan ordered another five rounds of bombardment, forcing the main force of the Jin army to withdraw ten miles away before officially stopping the attack.

Including the previous two rounds, a total of seven rounds of bombardment caused at least 700 casualties of the Jin army.

700 casualties are nothing in an army of 15, but the killing of such an ultra-long-distance artifact will inevitably deal a huge blow to the morale of the Jin army.

At this time, the people who were driven to attack the city in front had already arrived under the city wall, but the main force of the Jin army was ten miles away, and the front and back were completely out of touch.

Rescuing the people was no longer a big threat, even so, Fan Zhuoyuan still had the artillery and crossbowmen ready.

Let the cavalry cruise within the ten-mile range of the people and the main force of the Jin army, and at the same time order the mounted infantry to dismount, hold spears and form a phalanx, guarding behind the people to prevent the Jin army from sending heavy cavalry to charge and seize the city.

Artillery, cavalry, infantry, three lines of defense made Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan feel very headache.

They had assembled their heavy cavalry at this time. Although the distance of ten miles was long, there was still a chance for the cavalry to rush down.

But the defenders are so heavily guarded, so there is no need to continue trying.

In this way, the golden soldiers who were mixed among the common people basically became abandoned sons.

Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the east gate to be opened wide, and the two thousand heavily armored soldiers guarding here had no good temper. They inspected and questioned them one by one, and when they saw that they could neither speak Chinese nor Khitan, they refused to listen to the explanation at all and pressed down on the spot. Stay, big knife owl head.

When encountering someone armed with a weapon, he also refused to listen to the explanation and besieged him on the spot.

The golden soldiers lurking among the common people to seize the city were all brave and powerful soldiers in the army, but they had no way to deal with the valiant Jie army who had an advantage in numbers and was wearing heavy armor.

They intended to cause chaos, but they were greeted with iron-blooded killings and the roll call of the sharp archers ambush in high places.

At the same time, the common people also gave guidance loudly, and even turned around and besieged the Jin soldiers hiding in it, forcing the Jin soldiers to flee in a hurry after knowing that there was no hope of capturing the city.

But they forgot that behind them there was a phalanx of heavy armored spears and three thousand rangers.

These golden soldiers fled voluntarily, and were immediately stopped by the heavy armored phalanx, and the rangers charged to harvest.

Not long after, Fan Zhuoyuan rescued all the thousands of people back to the city, cut off all the golden soldiers hidden inside, cut off their heads, and placed them at the city gate to build a Jingguan.

Seeing this move, the scouts of the Jin army trembled all over, cursed in anger, and started a fight with the rangers of the Xiaojie army.

However, most of Fan Zhuoyuan's cavalry were Khitans who were proficient in equestrianism. As a fisherman and hunter, the Jurchens could not compete with pure nomads in this regard.

The Jurchen scouts were either captured or killed on the spot, and one out of ten escaped.

Ten miles away, the Jin army set up a company battalion, Wanyan Loushi came to the tent of the supreme commander Wanyan Zonghan, and the two of them used knives to cut the roasted pork while discussing what happened today.

"The firearms of the Song army are sharp, and they occupy the advantage of the city wall. They have a long range. Although we have firearms, we will definitely not take advantage of them when we shoot at each other."

When Wanyan Zonghan thought of the battle in the daytime, he was still furious and even more frightened.

Wanyan Loushi cut off a piece of hind leg meat and swallowed the meat before it was fully cooked. He likes meat slices with a bloody smell, just like the smell soaked in the breath on the battlefield, it is really fascinating.

"Don't think too much for now, send scouts to investigate around Yanjing City and Tongzhou County to see if there are any flaws.

Siege is still not my forte. If the Song army sticks to it and has firearms in hand, it will be difficult for us to win. "

Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly, "Then how do you think you should fight?"

"How else can we fight? Didn't I say it before? Loot the countryside if you can't take it down. Find a way to lure them out of the city for a decisive battle. If you can wipe out one, kill one."

Wanyan Zonghan tore off a piece of rib, and tore off the bloody flesh on it with all his strength, but he didn't throw away the bone in his hand, and still chewed it in his mouth, making a crunching sound.

After biting the whole rib to pieces, he threw it into the fire, then wiped his mouth and said, "We must also be able to make this kind of firearm, no matter what the price is!"

"The scouts have checked, and the Song people practiced hardening the walls and clearing the fields, and all the craftsmen were concentrated in the city of Yanjing."

Wanyan Zonghan sneered, and said fiercely: "If there is no land in Yan, go to Zhuozhou, if there is no Zhuozhou, go to Xiongzhou, if there is no Xiongzhou, hum, then go to the city of Bianliang and say hello to the emperor of Song Dynasty!"

Wanyan Loushi's complexion changed, "The lone army goes deep, you are not afraid of being trapped."

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Since the battle with the Song people, the only one that has caused us a big loss is Fan Zhuoyuan's Xiaojie army. Whether it is the way of the teacher or the eggless Liu Yanqing, either defend the city and get out, or abandon it. flee the city.

Before Fan Zhuoyuan appeared, the Song Army's 20 forbidden troops were defeated by a mere [-] Liao remnants.With such combat strength, I only need [-] fine cavalry to sweep the Central Plains!

What's more, from the Liao people, we know that the Song people have always used literature to control military forces, and the Song people's own heroes are often harmed by their emperors and civil officials.

Don't you want to lure Song Jun out of the city to fight?I lead the soldiers to show off my martial arts in the city of Bianliang, and I will definitely give you this opportunity! "

Wanyan Loushi peeled off the whole pig's face with a dagger, smeared it with salt and sauce, and began to tear and bite from the position where the mouth arched. He silently ate the whole pig's face.

And Wanyan Zonghan watched him finish eating in silence...

"You can't go." After a while, Wanyan Loushi replied Wanyan Zonghan's words.

Wanyan Zonghan's face became very ugly, and he said: "Wu Shu has always wanted to make contributions, so let him go."

Wanyan Loushi sneered, "Let a general who doesn't have much experience in leading the army lead [-] elite cavalry to go south? I'm worried that another [-] bones will be hard to return home."

Before Wanyan Zonghan's attack, Wanyan Loushi wiped his hands and said, "I'll go, only I can lead them to conquer Song Dynasty and successfully bring the children back to their hometown."

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Aren't you going to fight Fan Zhuoyuan, commander of the Xiaojie Army?"

"Hehe, Nianhan, you have an army of 10,000+ in your palm, don't you have the confidence to deal with him?"

……

After that day, the Jin army plundered the countryside and besieged Yanjing and Tongzhou County, but it was still difficult to achieve decisive results under the systematic resistance of the Song army.

Moreover, generals such as Fan Zhuoyuan, Wang Ting, and Guo Yaoshi often led the cavalry to take the initiative to attack. When the opportunity was right, they would attack more and less, and destroy the [-]-man corps in an organized way, which in turn caused heavy damage to the Jin army.

The Jin Army still tried to drive out the people to attack the city, but Fan Zhuoyuan's experience had been passed on to Wang Teng and Zhong Shidao, and the two acted according to the law.

The helpless Jin army saw that this method was ineffective, so they no longer drove the people to attack the city. Instead, they massacred and killed the captured people in front of the Song army, showing their barbaric nature.

The morale of the Song Army did not drop because of it, but instead, they felt the same hatred because of the cruel and barbaric practices of the Jin people. From the beginning, the morale only dared to defend the city, and then gradually became able to rely on the city defense to fight the enemy in the field.

The soldiers and civilians in the city gradually learned how to fight. These changes also shocked the Jin army, and they did not dare to slaughter again.

But at this moment, Wanyan Loushi, the God of War of the Kingdom of Jin, selected [-] fine riders to go south, and entered the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, wantonly doing damage without calculation.

He even drove thousands of miles directly to the city of Bianjing, where he burned, killed, looted and looted in front of the emperor's relatives, relatives, civil and military officials, and the whole country was shocked.
