Chapter 369 0365 [You...have really hurt me! 】

That night.

There are many people inside the handsome tent.

Han Zhen and a group of generals, large and small, gathered in front of the map to discuss the plan to attack Tokyo City.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei liked this atmosphere very much. Regardless of their official position, everyone could express their opinions and everyone worked together.

The county magistrate is approachable and makes everyone laugh with his jokes from time to time.

The city of Tokyo is too big, and the map is nearly ten times larger than Yidu County.

The city base is five feet and nine feet wide and four feet high.

This is the real city high and the pool thick!

In addition to the towers on the city wall, there are turrets every five hundred meters. These turrets are equivalent to bunkers.

There are a total of twenty-eight gates in the outer city, inner city and imperial city, and each gate is equipped with a huge urn.

And unlike other cities, the urn in Tokyo City is set outside the city gate.

There are three floors in total, like semicircular iron hoops, firmly protecting the city gate.

Such a design undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of siege.

Moreover, the Wengcheng was so huge that at least two to three thousand soldiers could be garrisoned on the surrounding walls.

Such a fortified city, if Zhao Song had not opened the gates himself, the Jin would not have been able to defeat it even if they fought for ten years.

Even though Han Zhen held siege cannons and firearms, he felt helpless at this moment.

hiss!

Liu Qi took a deep breath and murmured to himself: "Without artillery, if you want to break through a city gate, you will need at least 30,000 lives to fill it, and you may not be able to win it."

Huang Kai nodded with deep understanding: "No wonder the golden man runs so fast."

Even though they have 80,000 troops, they are not enough in front of this majestic city.

It is unrealistic to besiege on all sides at the same time, so we can only focus on one place.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen spoke up: "Which city gate should we focus on? Do you have any opinions?"

Yu Jun pondered and said: "The general feels that most of the sixteen gates in the outer city have three floors of barbicans. Only the four water gates only have two floors. We can focus on attacking one water gate!"

"inappropriate."

Han Shizhong shook his head and retorted: "Yu Dutong has never been to Tokyo City, so he doesn't know. Shuimen seems to have only a two-story urn city, but in fact there are hundreds of arrow holes in the city cave. Thousands of crossbowmen only need to be dispatched. If we are stationed with divine arm crossbows, no matter how many people come here, they will die. Besides, I can't wait to fight on the water. After getting on the boat, I'm afraid I won't be able to use half of my combat power."

Zhang He smiled bitterly and said: "This damn guy is just like an iron bastard who has nowhere to say anything."

Finally, Han Zhen made the final decision: "Fake attack on Wansheng Gate in the west and Chaoyang Gate in the east, and attack Nanxun Gate with the main force!"

Nanxunmen is the main entrance to Tokyo City, facing Imperial Street.

Once this gate is breached, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the people in the city and the defenders.

As the main entrance, everyone knows that it will be heavily defended.

The Jin people knew it, and so did the generals of Zhao and Song Dynasties. Therefore, when the Jin people attacked the city, they did not touch the Nanxun Gate and chose to storm several water gates.

Han Zhen plans to do the opposite, which may have unexpected miraculous effects.

Han Shizhong thought for a moment and agreed: "You can try to catch someone unawares."

After formulating the next siege strategy, Han Zhen ordered: "It's getting late, let's all go and rest."

"I will retire at the end!"

Everyone bowed their hands.

After leaving the commander's tent, the generals did not go back to their tents. Instead, they winked at each other and walked towards Shi Wenhui's tent.

……

The next day.

In the early morning, the huge military camp began to become busy.

Hundreds of cauldrons were filled with bursts of steam, accompanied by the fragrance of cooking corn porridge, filling the air in the military camp.

Han Zhen put on the black light armor and opened the curtain of the handsome tent.

The next moment, his movements stagnated.

Outside the commander's tent, a large group of people stood in darkness, tens of thousands of people as far as the eye could see.

Led by Shi Wenhui and a group of generals.

Seeing Han Zhen, everyone looked at him with extremely hot eyes.

Han Zhen didn't know what they were going to do. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you gathering here? If there is no reason, I will punish you twenty times with a stick according to the military order!"

Xie Ding took a step forward and said loudly: "The Zhao and Song Dynasties were immoral, the emperor was fatuous, and the traitors were rampant in the court. The destiny was lost, and the people of the world have been suffering from the Zhao and Song Dynasties for a long time. The county magistrate raised troops in Linzi, and promoted the army of benevolence and righteousness to defeat the unjust with the Tao. It is to comply with the destiny of heaven. However, a country cannot be without a king, and a family cannot be without a master. We sincerely ask the county magistrate Jianyuan to proclaim himself the emperor!"

"We sincerely request County Magistrate Jianyuan to proclaim himself emperor!!!"

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals bowed and shouted in unison.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops also saluted and shouted.

Han Zhen's heart surged, but he resisted and said: "How could I, Han Zhen, be so virtuous and capable that I dare to occupy the high position? I don't want to mention this matter again."

Hearing this, Shi Wenhui winked at the generals.

Upon seeing this, the generals headed by Liu Qi swarmed up and surrounded Han Zhen.

This group of people had been preparing for a long time. They pulled out a bright yellow robe from somewhere and forcibly put it on Han Zhen.

"What are you doing?"

Han Zhen pretended to be furious and struggled quickly.

"Don't refuse, county magistrate, this is destiny!"

Yue Fei and others persuaded each other.

Even though Han Zhen had already stopped his efforts, all the generals were still sweating profusely and had to tie up their yellow robes with great difficulty.

After putting on their yellow robes, all the generals retreated together. Soon, together with the tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops behind them, they knelt on the ground, saluted and bowed, and shouted: "Meet your majesty!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted together, and the momentum seemed to break through the sky.

Looking down at the yellow robe, and then at the civil servants and generals kneeling in front of him, as well as the tens of thousands of Qingzhou Army elites, Han Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed.

"You...have really hurt me!"

After a long sigh, Han Zhen ordered: "Get up, everyone, and assemble the army to move out of the stronghold."

"I accept your order!"

All the generals stood up one after another.

At the moment, it is just a matter of establishing his identity first, and then he will take care of the matter of proclaiming himself emperor after conquering the city of Tokyo.

Jianyuan's proclaiming himself emperor is not that simple. Either you say you are the emperor or you are the emperor. The establishment of a dynasty pays attention to orthodoxy, and it does not count at all for a grass-roots team like Zhong Xiang and Fang La to become emperor.

Regardless of whether it is the history of the Song Dynasty, the history of the Liao Dynasty, or the history of the Jin Dynasty, the descriptions of Zhong Xiang and Fang La are surprisingly consistent.

As the saying goes, things should never be more important than correct position, and etiquette should not be more important than changing Yuan.

The actual procedure for Jianyuan to proclaim himself emperor was tedious and complicated. In addition to offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the three emperors, he also needed to worship at the temples of previous emperors to show his orthodoxy.

At the same time, we accept congratulations and recognition from other surrounding countries.

For example, when Xixia was founded, it accepted the canonization of Liao and Song at the same time.

……

An hour later, the army moved out.

Lao Jiu was riding on the horse, looking at the yellow robe Han Zhen was wearing, almost grinning.

When Han Zhen proclaims himself emperor, his status as a confidant of the bodyguard will instantly rise.

Not just him, but the entire Qingzhou Army from top to bottom, everyone was in high spirits and high in fighting spirit.

Rebellion is just for fame and fortune.

Han Zhen also knew this, so he didn't object.

In fact, in his original plan, Jianyuan would at least have to wait until Zhao and Song were completely destroyed before he became emperor.

Not long after, a majestic city appeared in everyone's eyes.

The tall and thick city walls were covered with defenders.

In the moat outside the city wall, there are still corpses of Jin soldiers and shipwrecks floating there.

Li Gang stood on the city tower and scanned the army in the distance.

When he saw a bright yellow cloak, his expression changed drastically: "No, the Han thief has become the emperor!"

Minghuang is an official color. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, except for the royal family, ordinary people and noble officials are not allowed to use it without permission. Once discovered, it will be considered as treason.

The guard on the side, Yao Pingzhong, murmured to himself: "Could this Han thief proclaim himself emperor in Chenqiaoyi?"

No wonder he thought so, because the army of Korean thieves came from the east and rested at Chenqiaoyi last night.

I had never received news from secret agents that Han Zhen had proclaimed himself emperor. Now he is suddenly wearing a yellow robe. This is not for show!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him suddenly looked strange.

Chen Qiaoyi proclaimed himself emperor and attacked Tokyo City...

They are so familiar with this scene!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Gang shouted loudly and said sternly: "The Han thief ignored the way of heaven and tore up the alliance. This time he proclaimed himself emperor and was just a clown, which is insignificant."

"That's what Prime Minister Li taught you."

Yao Pingzhong quickly bowed and said.

Li Gang ordered: "Give me the command and the guards of the four cities will prepare for war."

"The last general takes command!"

Yao Zhongping responded loudly.

……

At noon, Han Zhen led his troops to the city.

The Jin army left in a hurry and the military stronghold was not demolished, which happened to give the Qingzhou army an advantage.

After just a brief cleanup, the army entered the military camp.

Han Zhen ordered: "Bury pots to make rice, and attack the city at the right time!"

After lunch, Han Zhen made final pre-war arrangements in the commander's tent.

"Yu Jun, Wu Bao!"

"The general is here!"

"You two are now ordered to lead 5,000 Qingzhou troops and 20,000 Song military camps to attack Wansheng Gate in the West City!"

"The last general takes command!"

"Zhang He and Huang Kai, you two will lead 5,000 Qingzhou troops and 20,000 Song troops to attack the Chaoyang Gate of the East City. I will give you three siege cannons and 20,000 firearms each. I have only one request, and that is that you must We need to put pressure on the defenders, do you understand?"

"I will finally understand!"

The four of them responded in unison, their faces solemn.

Han Zhen's eyes fell on Han Shizhong and Yue Fei again, and he ordered: "You two will lead 30,000 Qingzhou troops and mainly attack Nanxunmen!"

The two shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I will definitely go all out in the end!"

They knew in their hearts that the officials had given them the important task of attacking the South Gate. This was recognition and trust.

"County...Your Majesty, where am I?"

Seeing that everyone had been assigned errands except for himself, Liu Qi suddenly became anxious.

Han Zhen ordered: "You have another errand. Lead the cavalry battalion under your command to garrison Liyang to prevent the Jin army from turning around."

Liu Qi immediately grimaced and was about to refuse, but Han Zhen gave him a hard look.

In desperation, he had no choice but to reluctantly respond: "The last general will take the order."

Seeing this, Yu Jun and others suddenly became happy.

Huang Kai smiled and joked: "Liu Dutong, when you were on the Nanjing Road, you led your cavalry battalion to achieve so many military exploits, why should you leave some soup for your brothers?"

During the Nanjing Road, the infantry basically did not perform very well, and the few tough battles were all fought by Han Zhen's cavalry battalion.

Most of the more than 40,000 Jin troops killed were cavalry battalions, and the rest were artillery battalions.

The number of infantry kills is estimated to be less than five thousand.

"Humph!"

Liu Qi glared at them fiercely and walked out of the handsome tent angrily.

Rumble!

Soon, the sound of galloping horses sounded, and Liu Qi led the cavalry battalion straight towards Liyang.

Although the Jin army withdrew, Wanyan Zonghan still had thousands of Jurchen cavalry under his command.

The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, so be on guard.

dong dong dong~

The passionate drums sounded slowly.

Eighty thousand troops came out in full formation, forming a siege.
