The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 183 The eldest son of Emperor Wanyan Wu of Jin Kingdom died! !
The Han navy warships surrounded Huang Qianshan who fell into the water, but they were mocking and threatening.

The reason was that Huang Qianshan was traitorous to his country, which made the Han army gnash their teeth and wanted to eat Huang Qianshan alive.

Huang Qianshan, who was in the water, was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his face turned pale, and he shouted loudly:
"Save me quickly. I surrender. There is also the Queen Mother of Song Dynasty and Wei in the broken boat. You can't let her drown!"

When Li Bao heard this, he immediately realized that he had captured an important prisoner. He immediately waved his hand and ordered the rescue of the Song army who fell into the water and the people on the broken ship.

really.

After some search and rescue, the Han army under Li Bao found the Empress Dowager Wei of the Song Dynasty hiding in the cabin.

"Don't come over here, I am the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty!"

Wei Shi looked at the Han soldiers in front of her and shouted harshly. She was already frightened by the scene just now.

Li Bao sneered and walked to her side:
"Empress Dowager, you still threaten us at this time. Do you know that we are here specifically to arrest you people? If you dare to resist, then we can directly kill you and escort you back. Restoration of life!”

At this time, Huang Qianshan was also fished out, and his face turned pale.

Huang Qianshan hurriedly shouted: "Queen Mother, don't resist, saving your life is a serious matter!"

Webster's face changed slightly, but then he regained his composure:

"You rebels are best at oppressing women and children. Today, I have completely recognized you!"

Li Bao shook his head: "Queen Mother, I advise you to watch your mouth. It will not do you any good to anger our Han army."

Listening to Li Bao's rude words, Wei's chest heaved violently and said, "You bunch of thieves deserve to die for rebelling!"

Li Bao's face suddenly darkened and he said: "It seems that the Queen Mother is not willing to cooperate. Someone, bring me a rope!"

Soon a soldier held a set of bright ropes and handed them to Li Bao.

Amidst the screams of Empress Dowager Song, Li Bao wrapped the rope around Wei Shi's body, and then tied it around Huang Qianshan's body. Then he pulled the two people over the side of the ship and tied them to the bow.

"Since the Queen Mother is tough-talking, let's taste the consequences of being tough-talking."

Wei Shi shouted: "How dare you! I am the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty. How dare you insult me ​​like this? Someone, come to my rescue!"

Li Bao said coldly and disdainfully: "Empress Dowager, please stop pretending. Were you still so courageous when you were serving Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian in the Jurchen Golden Kingdom?!"

After saying this, Li Bao and his Han army officers and soldiers looked ridiculed and disdainful.

As soon as Queen Mother Wei heard this, her secret was revealed. Her whole body began to tremble, her spirit immediately became depressed, and she collapsed on the deck.

Li Bao looked at the two of them and said loudly: "The culprit has been caught. Let's go back to Yangzhou."

After giving the instructions, the ship immediately set sail and returned to Yangzhou.

……

on the other hand.

Outside Yangzhou city.

After more than half a month of continuous fierce fighting, the Yangzhou city wall was already scarred.

However, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom has also suffered considerable casualties.

In particular, a rain and cold wave plunged the entire Jurchen Jin Army camp outside Yangzhou City into hunger and cold.

Golden Army Camp.

Central account.

"Now many Han people in the Central Plains are rebelling and echoing Yangzhou. Our food and grass can no longer be transported here. If Yangzhou is not conquered as soon as possible, I am afraid that the army will be short of food within ten days!" Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai said with a gloomy and ugly face. .

The Jurchen Jin Kingdom dignitaries such as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongxian and Wanyan Zongpan who were sitting below all had solemn expressions on their faces.

They already know that the Jurchen Jin Kingdom has now fallen into a very passive situation.

"In order for me, Dajin, to win as soon as possible, I have decided that tomorrow the entire army will be dispatched to besiege Yangzhou City from all sides and launch a fierce siege. You will go out with me to fight. In this battle, we can only succeed and not fail. If we fail, , we really have no chance!" Wanyan Wu Qimai, Emperor of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, said with a solemn look on his face, decisively.

As soon as Wanyan Wu finished speaking, all the generals below, including Wanyan Aguda's son Wanyan Afu, stood up one after another and shouted loudly:
"Swear to the death to conquer Yangzhou!"

"I swear to follow His Majesty to the death!"

"I swear to follow Your Majesty!"

Wanyan Zongpan also shouted: "Father, I am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard and clear the way for the army!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded with satisfaction and patted Wanyan Zongpan on the shoulder:

"Good boy! Tomorrow you will open the way for the army to attack the city. Remember, we must use the momentum of our Jin army. After many days of rubbing our hands, the morale of our Jin army is already bad."

"Yes! Father!"

……

Day two.

One hundred thousand Jurchen Jin army rushed towards Yangzhou City from all sides with great momentum.

The defenders on the city tower looked at the Jin army sweeping in from all directions like ants with great momentum. They were panicked and immediately sent someone to notify Liu Yu.

Wearing armor, Liu Yu climbed onto the city wall. Seeing the Jin army frantically trying to fight to the death, his face immediately became solemn and he shouted loudly:

"This king has ordered that all the young reserves of Yangzhou City go up to the city wall to help defend the city. At the same time, the entire city is strictly bounded, and no idlers are allowed to go out."

"Guan Yu, Zhang Ren, I have ordered you two to serve as supervisors of the left and right armies, responsible for guarding the city wall!" Liu Yu looked at Zhang Ren and Guan Yu again and said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Ren looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said:
"The last general respects his life."

Liu Yu turned around, looked at the [-] gold soldiers charging from all directions in the distance, and said in a solemn tone:

"The Jin army is attacking four gates at the same time on such a large scale. I'm afraid they will have to fight hard. If they can resist it, then there is hope for victory in this battle."

"And if we really win, then our Han army will be able to gain the support of Han people all over the world!"

Liu Yu's words caused Jia Xu and Xun You to nod.

indeed.

This battle is crucial for Liu Yu and his Han army.

They have defeated the Song army and shocked the world.

If the Jin army is defeated at the same time, then their Han army will be powerful and gain the support of a large number of Han people.

It can be said.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this battle was a turning point for their Han army.

Jia Xu looked at Jin Jun who was looking forward to death, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"According to intelligence from various places in the north, it seems that the Kingdom of Jin is moving southward in a large scale, and the hinterland is empty of troops. Rebels in various places are rising one after another. If Xu's guess is correct, I am afraid that either a large-scale rebellion broke out in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin, or it is because of the uprisings, which has led to the loss of food and grass in the Kingdom of Jin. There’s a supply problem.”

"If this situation causes the Jin Army to launch a massive attack and fight to the death, then as long as we survive, the Jin Army will be defeated!"

After Jia Xu's soft words fell, everyone was shocked.

Liu Yu also had a flash of light in his eyes. He looked up and sure enough, he saw dust rolling in the distance, flags waving, and thousands of cavalry galloping from the northeast. Although they were far away, they couldn't see clearly. However, Liu Yu's eyes flashed and he could vaguely recognize that it was the most powerful iron pagoda cavalry of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom.

Obviously, in order to defeat Yangzhou City in this battle, the most powerful Iron Buddha of the Jin Army was brought out to suppress the formation?
Liu Yu immediately laughed and said: "Send the order to the whole army. The Jin army is at the end of its war effort. A major uprising broke out in the hinterland. The Jin army is not far away from defeat!"

"promise!"

The messenger immediately conveyed Liu Yu's order to boost morale.

The Han army in Yangzhou City was ready for a decisive battle.

Outside Yangzhou City, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom also launched a suicidal siege like an ant, attacking all four gates.

"Kill!"

"Come on, attack Yangzhou City, and plunder Han women!"

"Those who set foot on the city will be promoted to the third level. Kill them!" The screams of the Jin army resounded through the sky. Their figures crossed the range of the Han army's crossbows and climbed hard towards the city. The Han army also drew their bows and led the way. Arrows were fired at the city. The arrows fell like locusts. The dense array of arrows stalled the momentum of the Jin army. Many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, but more Jin soldiers still rushed to the distance. The city wall was only ten feet long, so he began to climb the wall crazily.

Niu Gao roared:
"Brothers, hold on, kill the Jin Army, they are about to die!"

The thundering sound of fighting enveloped Yangzhou City, and the Jin army fought tooth and nail, which really brought a huge impact to Yangzhou City.

Many crazy Jin troops climbed up Yangzhou City and fought with the Han troops on the city tower.

Although the Jin Army's trebuchets have no longer range and power than the Han Army's return artillery.

However, the crazy shooting still caused huge casualties to the Han troops on the city wall.

What's more, the rocks were bombarded one by one, making the Yangzhou city wall tremble.

Boom~

Suddenly, a piece of the southeast wall of Yangzhou City loosened and collapsed from the middle.

The Han troops on the city wall were shocked.

The Jin army under the city had bright eyes.

Wanyan Zongpan of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom led [-] elites and made an immediate decision to launch a more violent offensive to the southeast of Yangzhou City.

This section of the Yangzhou city wall has become weak.

Wanyan Zongpan commanded the [-] Jurchen Golden Army, pushing various siege weapons, approaching step by step!

"Broken the city!"

Accompanied by bursts of shouts, at the forefront of the Jurchen army formation, siege ladders, rams, and even trebuchets have been set up, and huge stones and crossbow arrows have been placed for the attack.

"Boom!"

With a deafening bang, a section of the city wall in the southeast corner of Yangzhou City was smashed by Wanyan Zongpan with a catapult.

Wanyan Zongpan was overjoyed and held a big sword high above his head:

"Kill, rush into the city wall, and occupy Yangzhou!"

More than 1 Jurchen soldiers rushed over like crazy.

"Guan Yu, lead three thousand Beifu troops to block the gap!" Liu Yu said loudly with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" Guan Yu immediately accepted the order with his fists clasped.

Three thousand elite Beifu troops, led by Guan Yu, engaged in an encounter with the Jurchen Jin army who attacked the gap in the city wall.

"Kill!" Guan Yu shouted while holding the Qinglong Sword.

An army of 3000 people formed a torrent of steel five feet long, like a steel defense line, rushing down.

Moreover, this torrent of steel actually lined up automatically as it ran, forming rows of shields, spears, swords, spears and halberds, like a forest.

The chests of each Jurchen golden soldier were pierced by the spears pierced by the oncoming spears. Even the war horses, when charging forward, would trample the Jurchen cavalry in front, crushing them all the way. If they were a little slower, the horse's legs would The saddles and hoofs of the horses were even stabbed through by the spears of the Jurchen cavalry in front, while the knights on the horses were thrown to death!
The powerful Beifu Army's killing tactics made it impossible for the Jurchen Jin Army to get close to the Han Army's position, let alone attack the city.

Wanyan Zongpan, the vanguard general of the Jurchen Jin Army, frowned and said angrily: "Damn it, can the Susu Han army stop the pace of my Jin army? Can it actually resist the attack of the Jin army?"

"Continue to attack and break through the city wall. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!" Wanyan Zongpan roared.

The Jin Army cavalry under the city gritted their teeth and charged bravely.

However, the Jin army's attempt to seize control of the Yangzhou city wall was in vain. Every time they charged, they were firmly blocked by the Han army's shield array. Even the Jurchen knights on horseback were seriously injured or thrown. Death, fell off the horse.

On the city wall, Liu Yu looked at the battle situation, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said loudly:
"Yue Fei, mobilize another thousand archers and launch a rain of arrows against the Jin army!"

"No!" After hearing Liu Yu's order, Yue Fei immediately handed over his hand and hurriedly mobilized the archers.

As Liu Yu continued to fight against the Jin army and Zhao Song was weak, Yue Fei had grown to admire Liu Yu greatly.

Yue Fei did not object to following Liu Yu's orders and fighting the Jin army.

More than a thousand archers quickly gathered at the foot of the city wall. What they held in their hands were not ordinary wooden bows, but special long-handled maces. Their faces were solemn, and they lined up, waiting for Yue Fei's attack. Order.

Yue Fei pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted loudly: "Let go!"

In an instant, a dense rain of arrows, with a whistling sound, was shot at the Jin Army cavalry under the city. This group of Jurchen cavalry, which were usually well-trained, could not avoid it now. They were hit by arrows one after another and screamed in agony. The sound is endless.

The Jin army suffered another blow. Wanyan Zongpan felt distressed and his eyes were red, but he still roared and charged.

The Jin Army cavalry clears the way!
And more Jin infantry, under the personal supervision of Wanyan Zongpan, desperately rushed to the top of the city and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Han army.

The two sides fought in a melee. Although the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom had the advantage in numbers, they were helpless because the soldiers of the Han Army Beifu on the city wall were really elite, and they were all armed with long spears, chopping, stabbing, and cooperated with each other tacitly. The threat of archers made it difficult for these Jin troops to capture this gap in the city wall.

After the battle at the top of the city lasted for two full seconds, the Jin attack was thwarted. Wanyan Zongpan roared angrily, drew out the battle ax from his waist, took the lead, and slashed at the nearest Han soldier. , his tiger eyes widened, and he chopped down the Han army with an axe.But on the other side, another spear stabbed his throat. He took a half step back to avoid the fatal blow. However, as soon as he let go of the ax, he was hit hard on the back. With one blow, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes went black, and he almost fainted.

"Marshal be careful!"

A sharp arrow, howling in the wind, directly hit the head of the guard leader behind Wanyan Zongpan. The guard leader groaned and fell off his horse.

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Wanyan Zongpan's mouth. He turned around and saw among the knights of the Golden Army behind him, there stood a tall, burly man with a sledgehammer in his hand, staring at him fiercely. Hold yourself.

Wanyan Zongpan gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Who are you?"

The man sneered and said: "This is your Jurchen's grandfather, and so is Niu Gao!"

After Niu Gao said that, he swung his sledgehammer and hit Wanyan Zongpan hard.

"Jurchen dog, give me a hammer!"

Wanyan Zongpan had already exhausted his strength and had just suffered a heavy blow. He couldn't block Niu Gao's blow and quickly dodged.

but.

Niu Gao had already guessed Wanyan Zongpan's dodge, so he immediately changed his moves and struck again with a sweeping blow.

boom!
moment!

Wanyan Zongpan felt his eyes go dark and fell to the ground.

"Haha, Wanyan Zongpan is dead!! The eldest son of Emperor Wanyan Wu of Jin Kingdom is dead!!" Niu Gao laughed happily.

But Niu Gao saw Wanyan Zongpan lowering his flag and the Jin army's exclamation.

Following Wanyan Zongpan's unexpected death in battle, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom's vanguard siege troops were alarmed and suddenly lost the will to fight.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and the cannons smashed into the Jurchen Jin army formation.

The Jurchen soldiers did not hesitate and immediately began to flee towards the rear.

"retreat!"

"Get out!"

At this time, the other three Jurchen Jin armies had not yet launched an attack.

The Jurchen Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai's face was ashen. Seeing his son Wanyan Zongpan's troops retreating so quickly, he could no longer hold back his anger.

He originally wanted to punish Wanyan Zongpan severely in order to save his face as Emperor Jin.

but.

The news that followed shocked Wanyan Wu Qimai.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the eldest prince Zongpan died in the battle!"

boom!
Wanyan Wu Qimai felt a roar in his head and instantly became unsteady on his feet.

"What, what did you say?"

Before he could reply, Wanyan Wu Qimai felt a lump in his throat.

puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Wanyan Wu Qimai's mouth!
