The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 186 Hello, this is Wanyan Lou’s room

September [-]th of the first year of Jingkang, a good battle!
Wanyan Zonghan, commander of the West Route Army, finally ordered the attack on the city.

Although some parts of the filled pond are still sinking and unstable, in general, it does not affect the use of siege equipment.

Although only one area has been cleared, the Taiyuan defenders only need to defend one city wall, which seems to be a lot easier. However, the Jin army attacking the city can also concentrate all its forces and specialize in one area. The balance of the war is still balanced and there is no bias. Which side.

Siege warfare is a very delicate job. It is not as exciting and mindless as in later movies.

If they were all attacking the city like this, the defenders would be so happy on the spot: Mom, I encountered a retarded person!
On the first day of the siege, both sides were calm but played tricks on each other. The main point was to see who was more showy.

Wanyan Zonghan first pushed up the watchtower cart, which is the kind that rises higher than the city wall. Standing on the cart, you can overlook Taiyuan City. You must first find out the specific situation in the city. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. If you don't know what it is, wouldn't it be a fool's fault to attack the city rashly?

The same applies to the side within the city. They also need to see clearly what the attacking side is.

So when Wanyan Zonghan took out the tallest watchtower carriage in the Jin Kingdom at that time, Yue Fei was not idle either.

With the cooperation of the guidance group for the use of weapons and equipment sent by the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty, a manned hot air balloon was released on the south city wall. A frame was hung under the huge hot air balloon. The frame carried four people, two of whom were responsible for lookout and two others. Responsible for vigilance.

Underneath the hot air balloon are four bowl-thick hemp ropes, which are tied to the piles that have been rammed into the city wall to prevent the hot air balloon from flying away uncontrollably.

Who can stand taller and see further?
Wanyan Zonghan was completely defeated!

"Look God, what is that?" Wanyan Zonghan was horrified!
Wanyan Xiyin was also frightened, but pretended to be calm: "It's not a rare thing. The Han people call it Kongming Lantern. This should be an improved version of Kongming Ball. It has no use except for flying high."

"Kong Ming Sphere? After the Song Dynasty is destroyed, we must bring these craftsmen back to our country, Dajin. This thing is very useful for attacking the city and looking out!"

Seeing that this thing had no ability to strike, Wanyan Zonghan was relieved: "Hey, you want to see the situation of our army? Then let him take a look!"

The Jin army is like a tiger and its horse is like a dragon.

In this regard, Wanyan Zonghan was extremely confident.

They looked at each other like this all day, and at night, the Kongming Ball on the Taiyuan side had landed.

The Jinguo lookout soldier, whose eyes were dry and about to freeze into melon seeds, was about to get out of the car when he saw the lights in Taiyuan City, which had been under curfew these days, suddenly brightly lit.

The lookout soldier suddenly felt despair: "Are you kidding me?"

Sure enough, there is an order from above, keep watching!

A person is so tall, the wind is blowing, but his eyes are full of fireworks, feasting and feasting. No one can bear this scene.The lookout soldiers had already finished their work and gone to have a drink.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

In the middle of the night, the lookout soldier could not objectively describe everything in the city: "The city is fine, there is no panic at all, and there are still people juggling on the streets."

These are true, but if you observe carefully, you will find that most of them are staged. Otherwise, how could there be so many people watching the sideshow in the middle of the night.

However, the lookout soldiers, who were angry, hungry and cold, were unwilling to bother with this idea.

In the big tent, Zong Han, who was chewing mutton and drinking strong wine, was stunned: "Seriously?"

The lookout soldier said aggrievedly: "If you don't believe me, Commander-in-Chief, just let others take a look."

Zong Han was surprised. When Taiyuan was besieged half a year ago, the people in the city were not only panicked and closed their homes, but also sparsely populated, everything was in ruins, the city was lifeless and morale was low.It's only been more than half a year, has there been a change of people in the city?

"Come back to Marshal, I've already heard about it. The prefect Zhang Xiaochun remains in office, but General Taiyuan has been replaced." Wanyan Xiyin replied.

"who?"

"The surname is Yue, the given name is Fei, and the given name is Pengju." "Have you heard of it?"

Wanyan Xiyin shook his head.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at Yin Shuke again, and Yin Shuke spread his hands: "I don't know him."

Looking at Wanyan Loushi again, Wanyan Loushi spat: "No matter who it is, everyone must die!"

This sentence sounds arrogant, but anyone who knows who Wanyan Loushi is would not think he is arrogant.

The Wanyan Lou family does not belong to the Wanyan clan, but to the Qishui tribe.

The fifth uncle who was beaten by Wanyan Agu had a fight with the Qishui tribe. After the battle, the Qishui tribe had nothing good to hand over, so they handed over Lou Shi to the state: "This man is a thief who can fight!"

As a result, Lou's family got the surname Wanyan!

After that, Wanyan Lou's family started fighting with Aguda. In every big battle, Lou's family formed a group and fought hard. When the enemy was about to die, Aguda stepped forward to grab the head. Just like a thug with points, he took off with Aguda.

When attacking the Huanglong Mansion of the Liao Kingdom, Lou Shi was not there, and Aguda didn't even dare to go to the jungle, let alone start a group. It wasn't until Lou Shi appeared that Aguda had the courage to take down the Huanglong Mansion in one fell swoop.

Later, Emperor Zuo of Liao fled everywhere. It is said that he fled for ten thousand miles. During these ten thousand miles, Wanyan Loushi chased eight thousand people.

When they reached Xijing of the Liao Kingdom, Lou Shi felt that the logistics would not be able to keep up if he pursued further west, so he thought that he might as well capture Xijing and use it as a supply point.

So he did what he said and captured Xijing of the Liao Kingdom in an ordinary way.

You must know that the Song Dynasty wanted Yunzhou in Xijing. Yunzhou, which it had been thinking about for more than 100 years but could not win, was no different from plundering a small village in the eyes of Wanyan Loushi.

This is not even a miracle. When Emperor Liao Zuo fled, his nominal son-in-law, Emperor Xixia Li Qianshun, wanted to help a group of father-in-laws, so he sent [-] fine cavalry to prevent the Jin army from pursuing it, and also defeated the Jin army. .

However, Wanyan Loushi came with 1000 men and defeated these [-] elite cavalry in one round.

This battle made Li Qianshun depressed. What kind of fighting power is this?So scary!
From then on, he no longer dared to be an enemy of Jin. His father-in-law was just a cloud. Even his own prince, the grandson of Emperor Liao Zuo, died of grief, his wife committed suicide, and Li Qianshun did not dare to attack Jin again.

As for the Qian and Song Dynasties...

When the Northern Song Dynasty was overthrown, the Song Dynasty moved south, with less than 15 cavalrymen. In one day, they "defeated [-] enemies by martial arts" in the morning, "defeated another [-] enemies in Jingdi" at noon, and "defeated them again in the afternoon." [-] in Weinan.”

In one day, Qian destroyed Song's 21-strong army, most of which were the most capable Western Army and Hedong Army.

Therefore, it is superficial to say that some people attribute the second breach of Kaifeng to the fact that King Qin’s army was prevented from entering the capital by Tang Ke and other peace-seeking factions!

At that time, the first generation generals of the Jin Kingdom gathered in Kaifeng. Not to mention that there was no King Qin's army, even if they all came, there would be as many "Songs" as there were.

In a sense, these peace-seeking factions preserved the basic base of resistance in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The last time Wanyan Loushi appeared was at the age of 53. The Jin Kingdom’s generation of generals had basically fallen. There were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey who became the king: the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi went south and was defeated, and wanted to run to Guanzhong to brush up his achievements. As a result, they were surrounded by Zhang Jun's 18-strong army.

Wanyan Loushi was sick, entered and exited six times, and forcibly broke through the siege. Not only did he save the life of the fourth prince, but he also completely bankrupted the Southern Song Dynasty's first Northern Expedition.

Zhang Jun, known as ZTE’s No. 1, was so shocked that he “didn’t eat for several days.”

This is Wanyan Lou's room.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in the West Route Army, Zhao Fujin would not have put the three fierce generals Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, and Gao Chong in Taiyuan.

Even with this arrangement, they are still afraid of the support of the Jin Army's East Route Army, so they must lure the East Route Army out of the Taiyuan battle at all costs!

This is respect for a generation of fierce generals and respect for the national destiny of the Song Dynasty!
