The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 40

On the other side of Zhending, the situation of the army led by Zhong Shidao is much better.

The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Zhong Shidao, as a long-established general in the Northern Song Dynasty, has a long-standing reputation in the hearts of ordinary people, so when Zhong Shidao arrived in Zhending City, five volunteers came to join him. , The army of cultivating the way of teachers directly increased by 2 people, reaching as many as 7 people. Since then, the disadvantages of the Song army and the Jin army in terms of numbers have become less obvious.

On the third day after Zhong Shidao arrived at Zhending, the Jin army came to the city.

Wan Yanchang's lieutenant called for an array from the city, and asked the Song army to open the door to fight.

As a battle-tested veteran, Zhong Shidao didn't even go up the tower, and let the Jin army shout outside.

The golden general yelled outside for more than an hour, what Song Jun was as timid as a mouse, like a woman, he used all the ugly words, but found that there was not even a person on the city wall who responded to him.

In the end, the golden general was tired of cursing, and returned to Wan Yanchang's side angrily.

"General, the Song army must have been afraid of our big golden iron cavalry and turned into a turtle. I even greeted their eighteen generations of ancestors, but they didn't respond at all." The deputy general looked depressed. Report to Wan Yanchang.

This is the first time Wan Yanchang has fought against the Taoist Master. As a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, he does not believe that the famous Taoist Master in the Song Dynasty will be afraid of the Jin Army, but now the behavior of the Taoist Master Kindergarten makes Wan Yanchang a little bit I don't understand.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. You are a crafty and cunning teacher. If you don't move now, you must have a plan." Wan Yanchang rubbed his chin, looking at the real map in front of him, always feeling as if he had overlooked something.

"General, don't care what his plans are, in my opinion, we'll put the army on top, and when we capture him alive, we'll ask him what plans he has." The deputy general said to Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang felt a little empty in his heart, as a general who had experienced many battles, he had a natural keen perception of danger.

"Okay, in your opinion, Yelu Yuanyi, I order you to lead an army of [-] to attack Zhending from Beicheng." Wan Yanchang said to his deputy, Yelu Yuanyi. Chang is tentative, he doesn't want to be as aggressive as Wanyan Zongbi.

Yelu Yuanyi took the order and left.

Amidst the rapid sound of war drums, the [-] troops of the Jin Army began to attack the city. There is an old saying that the Jurchens are not enough to be ten thousand, and they are invincible. He ran towards Zhending City.

The news of the Jin army's siege quickly reached Zhong Shidao's ears. At this time, Zhong Shidao's face was all over his face, and there was no panic expression on his face. Hearing the news of the Jin army's attack, he began to be methodical Command the generals to meet the enemy.

From a distance, Jin Jun looked like little ants. They ran all the way, and they were within the range of Song Jun in a blink of an eye.

"Fire the arrows!" Following the order of Master Zhong, there was a dense rain of arrows in the sky.

"Papa..." This is not the first time Wan Yanchang has fought against Song Jun. He had already prepared for Song Jun's rain of arrows. Jin Jun raised the rattan shield in his hand tacitly, and shot the arrow at the rattan shield. Above, there was a crisp sound.

Of course, not all the soldiers were spared, but the vine shield cut off most of the arrows that came flying.

As a result, under the cover of the vine shield, many golden troops slowly moved towards Zhending City. Although the speed was very slow, the casualties were reduced to the minimum, and the distance was gradually shortened.

Seeing that the Jin army had arrived at the city, Zhong Shidao ordered the generals to release rolling stones.

Ever since, all the archers withdrew, and the infantry guarding the city began to throw the rolling stones that had been prepared to the golden army below the city.

The rattan shield can withstand the attack of arrows, but it can't stop the flying boulders. Soon, many soldiers of the Jin army were attacked, but taking advantage of this time, the ladder of the Jin army has already been pushed over. .

"Put fire oil!" Seeing this, Zhong Shidao ordered again.

Fire oil is to heat the oil, and to put fire oil is to pour the fire oil along the city wall.

The hot fire oil poured down, and its power was much greater than that of rolling stones.

"Ah! My face!"

"Ah! Hot...hot..."

For a while, there were endless screams.

"Fire the rocket!" However, setting fire oil is not the end, but the beginning of the tragedy, and the teacher ordered the people to fire the rocket.

Zhong Shidao is worthy of being an old-fashioned general. He is not aggressive in marching and fighting, but he is steady and steady. His approach can be called a textbook-style defensive strategy.

The kerosene was ignited by the rocket, and quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames under the city. The golden army, which was soaked in kerosene, screamed and ran out, trying to escape from the sea of ​​flames, but ignored the power of the kerosene. Quickly turned into a fireman.

Yelu Yuanyi couldn't bear it, and ordered these living people to be stabbed to death, which ended the suffering of these people.

The war lasted from noon to night. Wan Yanchang called Jin to withdraw his troops. Although it was only a tentative siege, the Jin army also paid a heavy price of more than [-] casualties. Much better, not many casualties.

The next day, it was still Yelu Yuanyi who went into battle to yell and scold. This time, Yelu Yuanyi also learned to be smart, and called a group of soldiers to yell at Zhongshidao together. But Zhong Shidao pretended not to hear.

But Zhong Shidao can pretend not to hear, but his generals can't bear it.

Wang Yan, the leader of the eight-character army who came to join him, took the initiative to find his teacher and asked for orders. Wang Yan's face was engraved with the words "Serve the country with a heart, and swear to kill the gold thief", which is the name of the eight-character army he led. come.

"Marshal, please allow the last general to go out of the city to fight, and I will bring you the dog's head of the gold thief." Wang Yan said angrily.

Although Zhong Shidao is over seventy years old, his body is still very strong at this time, and he admires Wang Yan quite a lot. At this time, he deliberately called Wang Yan a few words: "Young man, don't be so angry, let him scold you." It's fine if he scolds, we won't lose a piece of meat, but it will only increase their anger."

After all, Wang Yan was young and energetic. Hearing what Zhong Shidao said, he said unwillingly: "Could it be that the gold thieves are allowed to shout outside, saying that we are men without seeds? I just can't swallow this breath."

"The mouth grows on other people's bodies. Let them say what they want to say. We can't control so much." Zhong Shidao said indifferently.

　Thanks to my friend rain for the reward. The first rudder owner in this book appeared, and I was very moved. I won’t say much.In addition, continue to ask for recommendation tickets, rewards and five-star praise!
