Water Margin farming to become powerful

To the surprise of Wang Huanzhi and others, they saw smoke and dust billowing, and two more teams came out from the northeast and northwest. The people in these teams all had red scarves on their hands. Wang Huanzhi and others reacted as soon as they saw it.

"It's the maternity team!"

The thousands of surrendered troops surrounded outside the city were startled by the two teams that came out of the diagonal thrusts.

Those officers who were originally from the Song Army and had surrendered to the Jurchens initially organized their brave warriors to resist, but they couldn't even break through the fire net of the birth care team. They rushed up hundreds of steps and waited until After the general's personal soldiers who dared to charge were killed by the birth care team, the remaining people scattered like birds and beasts.

It only took half an hour for the siege of Tiancheng County to be lifted.

The general of the maternity care team did not care whether he was in the county or the Song Dynasty. He rode directly to the city and shouted: "I am waiting for the sentry from the North China Maternity Care Team to come to support. The army is about to arrive. Please open the city gate quickly." !”

Wang Huanzhi instantly felt his eyes turn red. Just a moment ago, he thought that his hometown was about to be devastated by a military disaster. But at this moment, he finally felt relieved.

"Xian Cheng, what should we do?"

Wang Huanzhi turned around and said loudly: "Hurry up and open the city gate, ask the people to prepare food and grass, and tell them that the Supervisory Committee is coming!"

His soldiers had been eager to give it a try, and they suddenly agreed, and soon the city gate was opened for the Supervisory Committee.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Hui on the top of the city of Datong felt at a loss as they looked at the army rolling under the city.

Just like abandoning Tiancheng County, Tong Guan passed through Datong Prefecture without stopping at all. They initially said that their target was Yingzhou, but in fact they went straight to Taiyuan.

It really can't be said that Tong Guan doesn't have a strategic vision.

He ran so fast because he did not believe that the Song army had the ability to defend Yunzhong and Yingzhou under the Jurchens.

And the Song army did not live up to his trust at all. The Jurchens won consecutive battles. The best situation is that the Song defenders would resist for a while and then abandon the city, or the whole city would surrender.

Datong Mansion has become an isolated city.

At this time, in addition to the prefect Zhang Xiaochun, the only senior military attaché in Datong Mansion was Wang Hui, the deputy capital administrator who Tong Guan stayed in Datong.

Datong Prefecture, which originally had a population of nearly 2, now had only [-] residents left.

Looking at the Jin army rolling under the city, Zhang Xiaochun felt his throat was sore.

They can only do the final defense without many soldiers.

Fortunately, the Supervisory Committee helped them repair the city wall before. Relying on the strong city they had built before, Wang Hui and Zhang Xiaochun first sent people to build a heavy city inside the earth city, and then dug trenches outside the city.

The people in the city knew that they had no hope of surviving once the Jurchens arrived, so they all united with Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Hui.

Now they have issued weapons to all the people aged above 15 and below 60 years old, and allocated areas so that they can guard the city day and night. All the food in the city has also been organized and military control has been implemented. Regardless of the rich or the poor, it is provided on a per capita basis.

Although everything was ready, neither of them felt confident.

Even if they can defend the city like this, it will be a life-and-death situation. The more they attack the city, the fewer people will live in the city.

Their lonely city is far away in the clouds, and they don't know how long it will take until the Song Dynasty sends reinforcements.

But there was no time for the two of them to think too much. As soon as Zhang Xiaochun arranged the city's defenses, he heard the sound of golden drums on the city wall.

"The Jurchens are attacking the city!"

Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Hui both rushed to their posts.

From a distance, I could see the Jurchens driving the Song troops who surrendered to them, pushing and carrying various siege weapons towards Datong Mansion.

"Kill it!"

"Hold on! Hold on!"

Less than half an hour later, the siege team and the defenders entered the stage of melee combat.

Wang Hui personally led his soldiers to kill the enemy troops who rushed to the city.Ironically, at this time, most of Wang Hui's soldiers were Han Chinese from the Liao region, and the troops who rushed to the city as cannon fodder were Song prisoners captured by the Jurchens.

Originally, the Liao people were defending the city for the Song Dynasty, but the Song people helped the Jurchens to attack the Song Dynasty's city.

On the one hand, in order to protect his family and land, on the other hand, in order to live a slightly more comfortable life as a prisoner, he risked his life.

The fighting on the city walls of Datong Prefecture lasted from noon to evening.

Seeing the sun gradually setting from the west, the siege party finally gave up the attack and slowly retreated under the rain of arrows from the Datong Mansion defenders.

There were already heavy casualties on the city wall. The corpses of Han people from Song Dynasty, Han people from Liao Dynasty, Khitan people, and Jurchens were mixed together. They quickly became dry and stiff in the bleak cold wind of Datong in autumn.

The blood condensed on the ground of the city wall, and it was as sticky as a layer of paste. After someone stepped on it and pulled their feet up, their shoes would almost fall off.

When Wang Hui and Zhang Xiaochun met again on the city wall, they were speechless.

"The Jurchens left today and will probably come again tomorrow."

Wang Hui said.

Zhang Xiaochun nodded.

I don't know how long this battle to defend the city will last, and I'm not even sure whether there will be a result.

There was a surge of anger in everyone's heart.

If Tong Guan's army had not collapsed at the first touch, and if the prefectures and counties along the way could have surrendered without hesitation, Datong Prefecture would not have become the situation it is today.

"Tong Guan! I'll fuck your grandma!"

Suddenly someone among the people gathering the corpses of the remnants of the soldiers yelled. The person's face could not be seen clearly in the dusk. Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Hui did not stop them after hearing it.

The two knew that this was a way for the people to vent, otherwise they would not be able to dispel the despair and fear in their hearts.

Soon the city walls were filled with curses.

Everyone knows that they will probably not be able to leave this city.

Wang Hui said to Zhang Xiaochun: "I am loyal to you and keep my righteousness. I would rather die than become a golden ghost. I will stick to Datong until my death."

He looked at Zhang Xiaochun with burning eyes, as if seeking Zhang Xiaochun's response.

Zhang Xiaochun swallowed quietly.

He was greatly stimulated by today's war. In this desperate situation, he was surprised to find that his position was wavering.

However, when Wang Hui stared at him and asked him to express his position, Zhang Xiaochun still nodded and said: "If you abandon the city and leave, how can you show your face to the world?"

"The governor must stick to this idea!"

Zhang Xiaochun swallowed, as if he had seen the end of his death in Datong City, and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

I really have to defend the lonely city...

He suddenly wanted to curse with the people who were collecting corpses in the city and yelling: "Tong Guan, go to hell with your grandma!"

At this moment, the two people suddenly saw fire lighting up in the Jurchen camp in the north of the city.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xiaochun asked in confusion, and saw that the beam of fire was getting bigger and bigger, and then there was another rumble outside the city.

Wang Hui listened for a while and said with surprise: "This is the sound of the Supervisory Committee's bronze gun carriage!"
