Chapter 980: Yue Fei's Department Has Moved!
The ground outside the city was covered with arrows, and the top of the city was also covered with arrows. The ground and houses inside the city were all covered with dense arrows.
It is unknown how many people died under such a terrible rain of arrows.
Even those soldiers wearing iron armor felt pain in the places where they were shot under such a terrifying impact.
The pressure brought by the war was like an endless giant hand, falling from the sky and grabbing everyone in Anbei City.
The suffocating feeling of being surrounded by people is something that people who have not experienced it personally can never imagine.
Yu Yunwen, surrounded by the guards, came to the streets of Anbei City.
He saw faces full of fear and numbness.
Some people were crying, and they said: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have coveted the imperial court's one hundred coins to come to this borderland."
"I want to go home, I want to return to my place of birth, I miss the river at the entrance of the village, I miss the big yellow dog at the end of the village!"
"This season, the wheat should be mature. If I didn't come here, I would be carrying food home!"
"Mom, I'm afraid..."
There are still people organizing teams to transport medicinal materials to the city.
"Folks, don't be afraid. Our team is still standing at the top of the city. The Jin people can't get in. The court's reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"This is our home from now on, and we must protect our home!"
"Yes! Defend our home!"
"Look, it's Prefect Yu who's here!"
The panicked crowd rushed towards the direction where Yu Yunwen came.
"Prefect Yu, please tell us, what should we do now? There are countless Jin people outside the city, what should we do?"
"Prefect Yu, will we be killed?"
"Yu Qingtian, please speak up for us, even if you say a word."
"..."
Countless pairs of eyes stared at this scholar who was only twenty-six years old.
Yu Yunwen originally had a delicate appearance, but several years of military service had made his skin dark and rough.
And his body still looked thin, not like a man who could hold a knife.
However, his figure was as tall as a mountain, and his eyes were soft and firm.
He was riding a horse, his eyes slowly moved over the people around him, a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he said in a still gentle tone: "Folks, don't be afraid, I have always been here, and our soldiers and generals have always been here.
In the city, the soldiers from Pingrong City are also there, and the cavalry from Dongsheng City are still there. The emperor has arranged for the army to go north, and the imperial court will not let the Jin people succeed!"
His words gave spiritual comfort to the panicked people and slowly restored calm to the restless crowd.
"This is your home, and it is also my home!" Yu Yunwen's voice increased slightly, "I will guard this place with you all, and guard our children until death!"
People around him began to join the queue to transport supplies to the front line.
All the grown men joined in, and even the women dropped their threads.
Later, some people said that the Battle of Yinshan was an important turning point in breaking the situation of the Song, Jin and Xia Kingdoms, and was also the most important battlefield in the Seventh Song-Jin War. It would be unfair for the imperial court not to send more troops and put all the pressure on such a scholar.
Some people even said seriously: What a stupid layout that is. If Yu Yunwen hadn't carried it down, wouldn't Yinshan belong to the Jin Kingdom?
However, as Yu Yunwen himself said afterwards: As the top decision-maker, when making arrangements, fairness is never the first decision-making principle, but the maximization of overall interests is the basis.
Just like the third battle between Song and Jin Dynasties, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died outside Chang'an City.
If such rational decisions are not made, more people may pay the price with their lives in the future.
In the conflict of human civilization, some people are destined to be burned.
It is in such flames that a nation can temper its will as strong as steel.
A nation that has not experienced hardships lacks resilience and cannot survive for a long time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Jin army, which was surrounded by the city on all sides, launched an unprecedented and terrifying attack on Anbei City.
The Jin army was like locusts crossing the border, densely packed around the city wall.
Anbei City ushered in the most brutal defensive battle since its founding.
Two hundred artillery pieces plowed bloodstains through the vast ranks of the Jin army, but it was not painful for the extremely large number of Jin troops.
Even in order to defend the Chinese and Jin forces, half of the two hundred artillery pieces were destroyed in a short period of time.
Before the Jin army attacked, all the firecrackers were used up.
All the more than 10,000 soldiers in the city were dispatched.
On the street, groups of armored heavy infantrymen were armed with spears, long axes, and iron shields.
Flags were erected behind the four city walls, fluttering in the summer wind in early June.
Almost all the weapons for long-range attacks were used up, and the Jin army pushed in like a wave. The two sides once again entered into hand-to-hand combat, and it was the most brutal fierce battle from the beginning.
The battle lasted until the afternoon, and corpses were piled up under the city walls everywhere.
The scout reported the battle report to Han Chang. The Jin army failed to break through the Song army's defense line.
After listening, Han Chang said calmly: "Withdraw the troops."
He is not in a hurry. He has an absolutely superior force and does not need to rush to win it in one day.
After all, there are tens of thousands of Song soldiers and civilians in the city. Even if they charge from all sides, it will not be possible to completely annihilate the Song army in a day or two.
In the evening, operations to rescue the wounded were underway all over the city.
The setting sun is like blood, slowly falling on the horizon, and the sky turns into dark blue, desolate and cold.
Li Liangfu, the commander-in-chief of Xixia, who was hiding hundreds of miles away, received the battle report from the scouts on Anbei City, and he fell into deep thought.
At this time, Guo Hao, who was in Pingrong City, also received intensive reports from the scouts.
When Guo Hao learned that the number of the Jin army was at least 100,000, he quickly sent an urgent request for help to Wu Jie in the pass.
At the same time, that night, Guo Hao began to organize the large army.
In the early morning of June 23, just after dawn, Guo Hao gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses from Dongsheng City and Pingrong City, and quickly advanced towards Anbei City.
His mission is to support Anbeicheng.
On June 23, the Jin army once again launched an attack on Anbei City, and the two sides fought bloody battles for a whole day.
In the early morning of June 24, Guo Hao was only twenty miles away from Anbei City and only thirty miles away from the main force of the Jin army.
On June 25, Han Chang ordered Wang Bolong to command an army of 50,000 to intercept Guo Hao's army in the south of Anbei City.
On the afternoon of June 25, the sound of artillery fired by Guo Hao's troops resounded on the grassland, disturbing some of the Jin's horses and hesitating to move forward.
On June 26, Wang Bolong and Guo Hao launched a decisive battle twenty miles south of Anbei City.
Guo Hao failed to defeat Wang Bolong's troops in a short period of time, while the main force of the Jin army continued to besiege Anbei City.
Just when the Yinshan battlefield entered a critical situation, Yue Fei's troops in Hebei suddenly mobilized 50,000 elite troops, divided their troops into three groups, and launched a fierce attack on Yizhou, Xiongzhou and Bazhou.
