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

Chapter 25: The Weird Battle of the Jujube Sect
It was the ninth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang, Sishi.

Wanyan Zongwang finally chose a location that he thought was the most suitable: Suanzao Gate and Fengqiu Gate!

If these two gates are broken, it is equivalent to jumping into the backyard of the palace, directly threatening the safety of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. If the game is more fancy, it is not impossible to stage a shocking drama of decapitating the emperor in a country!
After the selection, Wanyan Zongwang personally supervised the siege!

Since they did not bring any siege equipment, the craftsmen of the Jin Army constructed a trebuchet outside Suizao Gate.

Seeing this scene, the defenders at the Jujube Gate were stunned!
Is this okay?If we are not ready, we will go and prepare again. There is no rush for this moment!
Under the city wall, Jin Army craftsmen were racing against time to make the trebuchet.

On the city wall, the Suizao Gate defenders were slowly fiddling with their crossbows.

"A little to the right...yes, yes, a little to the left!" The garrison general even stuck his head out and stretched out his hand to indicate the position.

Seeing that a trebuchet was already taking shape, the general who defended the city waved his hand gently: "Shoot!"

A dozen kilograms of heavy-duty arrows and crossbows shot out of the air, smashing the trebuchet that the Jin Army had finally set up to pieces!

Wanyan Zongwang's face turned green, and he yelled at Suizao Gate: "Song people are cunning, didn't you say there is no bed crossbow?"

The garrison general laughed loudly: "I said your father is dead, do you believe it or not?"

Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that the two braids on his head almost exploded: "Generals, listen to the order and attack the city!"

Suddenly, thousands of Jin troops carried simple ladders and rushed towards the Jujube Gate. They looked menacing and full of fighting spirit.

But as soon as they crossed the moat and received two rounds of arrows from the defenders, these people slowed down and stood outside the range of the divine arm crossbow, facing the Song army.

It was not that these Jin soldiers were afraid of death, but after they rushed across the moat, they suddenly discovered that their ladder to climb the city was not high enough at all. Even if they rushed to the bottom of the city and set it up, they would still be at least one-third short of the city wall. How could they attack the city? Isn't this pure suicide?
This siege was extremely childish. The two armies just looked at me and I looked at you!
The people below were yelling: "Get down!"

The people above were also shouting: "Come up!"

The person below was yelling: "Shoot me!"

The people above were also shouting: "You take two steps forward!"

This is not a situation caused by Zhao Fujin's accession to the throne. This is a real historical situation. Therefore, Zhao Fujin didn't even want to ask about the battle of Jujube Gate. He was just catching up on his sleep in Akihito Palace!

Although Wanyan Zongwang was angry, he was still rational and did not let Jin Jun die needlessly.

This was his fault. He did not expect that the city wall of Kaifeng was so much higher than the five capitals of Liao Kingdom!

But he neither attacked nor retreated, and just watched the two armies bickering. Maybe the young general who chose his former army command yesterday rushed out of the city again. As long as he dared to leave the city, Wanyan Zongwang would have to regain his face. !

But Han Shizhong was locked in the military camp and sulking: "Hongyu! Hongyu, let me out!"

Liang Hongyu snorted coldly while washing her clothes: "The officials asked me to lock you up, but I can't do anything about it. Please talk to me and don't cause any trouble to the officials, okay?"

"Am I causing trouble? Last night I..."

"Okay, okay, if the official asks you to stay, just stay. Ever since you met the official, when has the official made a mistake?"

Han Shizhong stopped talking, and after a long time he said angrily: "Send a bottle of wine in!"

……

……

Outside Suanzao Gate, the two armies fought until their mouths were dry, and no team was seen to fight out. Seeing the meal, Wanyan Zongwang could only order the withdrawal of the troops.The second siege is over!

Wanyan Zongwang, who returned to Moutuogang, was already frustrated. He could not attack by water and there were not enough equipment by land. As long as the Song army did not leave the city, Wanyan Zongwang, even if he had great ability, could not let the Jin army fly into Kaifeng City.

Forget it, when I returned to the camp, I found that there was little soup and porridge, and there was not much food left!

He once again resented Yaoshi Guo and cursed for a long time. After getting over it, he finally calmed down!
There is only one way in front of him now, and that is to withdraw his troops, because there is no way to fight this battle. If Kaifeng City cannot be captured in a short time, King Qin of Song Dynasty's army will come from all over, and he will be dead by then!
But he was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this. After much deliberation, he decided to move to Taiyuan and join forces with the West Route Army. At least he could capture an important town, which wouldn't be too embarrassing!

Before withdrawing his troops, he decided to give it another try!
Make peace!

Pharmacist Guo once said that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were all weaklings. As long as they were given a step, they could step down in one step!
Wanyan Zongwang did not believe in Pharmacist Guo, but believed in his own experience. He used the trick of suing for peace back then, which killed the Liao Kingdom and crippled the Song Dynasty.

On the ninth night of the first lunar month, the Jin army came to Suanzaomen again.

Li Gang, who was patrolling the city, saw the Jin army coming again. He almost laughed out loud: "Get ready for war!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from the city: "Don't shoot arrows, I am the envoy of Marshal Zong Wang, asking to see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

Li Gang suddenly felt a little unhappy, couldn't he have a good fight?

Although Li Gang was in charge of the war in Kaifeng, and the empress was determined to take charge of the war, according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, he could not make an arbitrary decision on the peace treaty, so he quickly sent people to the imperial study. As long as the empress refused, he would immediately This golden envoy shot down the city!

It depends on whether Wanyan Zongwang wants to fight or not!

But not long after, the chamberlain ran over panting: "Shilang Li, Shilang Li..."

"Zhongguanren? The officials don't want to talk about it?" Li Gang quickly stepped forward and asked.

"The officials...the officials said...it's okay to talk. Let's talk tomorrow."

Li Gang was startled, thought for a long time, and shouted towards the city: "It's getting late today and the city gate is closed. Come back early tomorrow!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves and ran towards the imperial study!
As soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw Zhao Fujin looking at the sand table in a daze. Li Gang bowed and saluted: "Since the official has decided on the main battle, why do we want to negotiate peace with the Jin army?"

Zhao Fujin came back to his senses, frowned and said: "Li Gang, I think you are becoming more and more assertive?"

Li Gang didn't understand what he meant, but from Zhao Fujin's attitude, he could also feel that Zhao Fujin was a little dissatisfied. He quickly calmed down his temper and said: "I don't dare. I just think that the Jin army in Kaifeng City must not be able to attack it. Why should we cooperate?" talk?"

Zhao Fujin sighed helplessly: "He can't capture Kaifeng City, can you destroy him?"

Li Gang was stunned. He had never thought about this problem!

Zhao Fujin waved to Li Gang and pointed to the sand table: "If I don't talk to him, what do you think his next step will be?"

Li Gang looked at the sand table and thought for a long time: "Retreat?"

Zhao Fujin pointed at Taiyuan: "He will bypass Kaifeng and go straight to Taiyuan to join forces with Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army. Do you think Taiyuan City can be saved by then?"

Hearing this, Li Gang understood what Zhao Fujin meant: "Does the official want to drag Wanyan Zongwang to Kaifeng?"

"Well! I also want to treat him to a Lantern Festival!"
