The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 143

In the Kingdom of Jin, Han Shizhong led an army of [-] to besiege Shangjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

In Han Shizhong's camp, Yang Zaixing, Wu Xiaodong, Zhang Jun and others gathered together to discuss plans to break the city.

"General, the Kingdom of Jin has been huddled inside the city and can't come out. Our army has been fighting outside the city for two days, and even Wanyan Aguda was scolded, but the defenders in the city are still indifferent. It seems that they are ready to do so. Stand by and wait for reinforcements to arrive." Left Deputy General Wu Xiaodong said to Han Shizhong.

"Wanyan Wu begging for money must feel that it is difficult to win, so he simply stayed behind closed doors and waited for the Jin army to go north to serve the king. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for our army." Zhang Jun shook his head and said.

Indeed, if it drags on for a long time, after the large troops of the Jin army withdraw, the Song army, which has gone deep alone, can only flee in a desperate manner with its tail between its legs, and may even be intercepted by the Jin army. I can't go back.

"The supplies for the siege two days ago have not yet arrived, and our army's supply troops have arrived tonight. It will be extremely unfavorable for our army to delay it any longer. Pass our military order to reward the three armies tonight and attack tomorrow morning." City." Han Shizhong said to the people in front of him.

"Yang Zaixing listens to the order. This general orders you to lead [-] elite troops to attack Shangjing from the east gate tomorrow!" Han Shizhong ordered.

"The last general obeys orders!" Yang Zaixing replied with some excitement, he is a person who gets excited when fighting.

"Wu Xiaodong obeys orders. This general orders you to lead the elite troops to attack Shangjing from the west gate tomorrow!" Han Shizhong ordered.

"This general will personally lead [-] elite troops to attack from the south gate. Tomorrow's battle is only allowed to succeed, not to fail." Han Shizhong said in a vibrating voice.

Siege the east, west, and south sides of Shangjing, but give up the north gate of Shangjing. In this way, the defenders in the city can see the hope of survival, so that their resistance will not be so strong , On the contrary, it helped the Song army break through the city.

In the early morning of the second day, after the sound of war drums, [-] Song troops marched from three sides and besieged Shangjing.

In the court of the Kingdom of Jin, the voice of the messenger came from afar: "It's not good, it's not good, the Song army has begun to attack the city!..."

Wanyan Wu begged for a sleepless night. As an emperor who followed his father on the battlefield, his mental state was a bit sluggish at this time, and there were a lot of silver threads on his head. After becoming an emperor, his body really Can't compare to before.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. There are still 5 imperial guards in the city. It will not be easy for the Song army to attack the city!" Prime Minister Wanyan Satan stood up and said at this time.

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded, but he had a bad premonition in his heart. The time to go to the capital to build the city was too short, and the city walls were not as generous as those built by the Song Army. He was a little worried The city wall could hardly withstand the Song army's attack.

A group of people stayed in the court hall, constantly listening to the news from the messengers, their faces became more and more serious.

After the supply troops of the Song Army came up and the siege began, it was not the soldiers who rushed up first, but the stone catapults one after another.

When the huge stone shot up the city wall of the capital like a cannonball, many golden soldiers on the wall ran away in fright. This group of guards guarding the imperial city had never been on the battlefield. Some were caught off guard.

"Pass down the order, let all the soldiers go down the city wall, and then go up after the Song army's cannonballs are over..." Wanyan Gumai, the commander of the east city defenders, shouted at the soldiers. In fact, he didn't need to shout. Run down, life and death are at stake, there is no fool.

The Song Army's catapults attacked for a full hour. At this time, looking at the city wall, it was already ruined. Those arrow crenels were smashed by huge stones. , In some places there is not even a place to stay.

After a round of running time was over, the Song army began to attack the city on a large scale.

Seeing this, Wanyan Gumai seized the time to let the soldiers go up the city wall and clear the boulders on the city wall. These boulders have now become the defense weapons of the Jin army. Throw it down, and it will definitely be enough for Song Jun to drink a pot by then.

Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to issue this order.

A sharp arrow flew from the bottom of the city and nailed Wanyan Gumai's eyebrows with a "swish". When Wanyan Gumai was about to die, his eyes were wide open. He was standing on the city wall to direct After the soldiers cleared the boulder and heard the sound of breaking through the air, they turned their heads and saw an arrow that was getting bigger and bigger.

He was frightened and stupid at the time, so his eyes showed a terrified expression. With a "boom", the arrow shot into Wanyan Gumai's eyebrows, completely freezing his expression.

Maybe Wanyan Gumai never imagined in his dreams that he was shot to death. Song Jun was still far away from him. In his opinion, it was impossible for Song Jun's arrows to hit him at such a long distance.

It's a pity that he didn't know that there was a general in the Song army, Yang Zaixing, who was born with strange strength.

Yang Zaixing led all the Song troops to charge, and saw Wanyan Gumai commanding the city wall from a distance, without any hesitation, he shot an arrow with his bow and killed him.

After Wanyan Gumai died, without the command of the general, the many soldiers of the Golden Army on the city wall were completely in chaos.

Seeing this, Yang Zaixing was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "The general guarding the city has been shot to death by me, and now the city is in chaos. , today we are going to break open the gate of Shangjing City, and we will be ashamed."

The general was so brave, the group of soldiers below also rushed forward one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

With a distance of several hundred meters, they arrived in the blink of an eye. The tall ladder was put on the city wall. Yang Zaixing took the lead and climbed up the ladder first.

"Report, Wanyan Gumai, the defender of the East City, died in battle. Now the East City has no leader, and the Song Army is about to attack..." The voice of the messenger came in from afar.

"What did you say?" Wanyan Wu begged to buy "Teng", stood up from his dragon chair, and asked sharply.

The messenger knelt on the ground in fright, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the Caomin is just a messenger, but the situation is so, and the Caomin didn't make it up."

Wanyan Wu Qimai took a deep breath, could it be that Jin Guo really couldn't escape this time?
"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to appoint a new guard, so as to stabilize the situation in the East City!" Wanyan Satan said at this time.
