Chapter 490 The man who defeated Song Jiang(1/2)
"The Jin soldiers finally retreated."
When the Grand Marshal Yao Youzhong saw that the Jin soldiers retreated like a tide, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The battle in Kaifeng this day was like a dream for Yao Pingzhong.
In the morning, it was snowing heavily. Under the expectation of Song Qinzong and a group of civil servants, he claimed that he could use the "Six-King Method" and the "Visha Monastery Heavenly King Method". Guo Jing, a Tianshi who used 7,777 people to set up a formation, ordered a group of market gangsters recruited from Kaifeng to come out of Xuanhua Gate and fight with the Jin soldiers.
At the same time, in order to allow the Heavenly Master to cast spells smoothly, Guo Jing asked the Xuanhua Gate defenders to go down the city.
As a result, the spell was not successful at all. The so-called Six Dings and Six Jia Heavenly Soldiers were defeated by the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers also took the opportunity to occupy the Xuanhua Sect and drove straight in.
If it weren't for a group of real heavenly soldiers and generals who had forcibly blocked the Jin soldiers, perhaps Kaifeng City had been occupied by the strengthened Jin army.
The two sides fought fiercely until sunset. When the Jin soldiers saw the sky getting darker and were worried that they would suffer more losses, they retreated back to the solid outer city wall.
There were large siege equipment such as catapults, double bow bed crossbows, and eight cow crossbows on the outer city wall. The Jin soldiers defended the outer city wall, which was equivalent to besieging Emperor Song, Song army, and rebels in Kaifeng City.
The biggest problem in Kaifeng City is that it was cut off by Jin soldiers, and the surplus grain in the city was not enough to support hundreds of thousands of people to use it.
The grain and grass in Kaifeng City were transported from Jiangnan, Shandong and other places. The outer city was controlled by the Jin soldiers, so the ships transported the canal could not enter Kaifeng City.
"No, the Jin soldiers have not retreated yet, and they can attack the inner city again at any time. This time, we caught them off guard, but soon they will react and reorganize the offensive."
Chu Tian met with the Grand Marshal Yao Youzhong, but he did not relax in his words.
He had noticed that the Jin army had originally planned to use the dismounted Tiefutu to conquer the inner city in one fell swoop.
Chu Tian found it difficult to judge how many levels of heavy infantry were equivalent to in the "Jingkang Battle" dungeon after Tiefutu dismounted, but its combat power must be above Yanjia. After all, Tiefutu has a system of 100% bonus, Jin Wushu's main general bonus, and Wanyan Zongwang's halo bonus for the entire army. Even if it is weakened after dismounted, its overall combat power is still extremely high.
However, the enemies the Jin army faced were not only the defenders in Kaifeng City, but also the Song Dynasty reinforcements outside the city.
For example, in Hebei, there were Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, Zhao Gou, Guanzhong, and the relatively elite Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is not entirely true that there are no reinforcements to support Kaifeng.
For example, Fan Zhixu, the Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy, and Sun Zhaoyuan, deputy general manager of the West Road, joined the 200,000th infantry and cavalry number to support Kaifeng.
Wanyan Loushi, deputy marshal of the Western Route Army of the Jin Kingdom, ordered elite cavalry to attack the Song army. The Song army was defeated without fighting, and more than half of the dead were killed.
These reinforcements were either defeated, dared not advance, or delayed by Jin soldiers from all over the country.
The situation is quite serious for the defenders.
Currently, Chu Tian is the life-saving benefactor of the Grand Marshal Yao Youzhong, and can carry out activities based on Yao Youzhong's relationship.
"This time, thanks to the rebel generals, otherwise the inner city would have been destroyed by the Jin soldiers. You are very wise and come to help you, which is a blessing for the country and the country. These soldiers and Baojia in the city are incomparable to your soldiers."
Yao Youzhong, who was born in the Yao family, saw Chu Tian and others' soldiers trying hard to kill the reinforced Jin soldiers. Compared with the Song army and Baojia he took over, it was a huge difference.
An excellent army is like a treasure to a general.
As a general, I naturally hope that I can command a strong army, rather than a mob that lacks fighting spirit.
The Song army had good equipment, but lacked morale. Once the war broke out, the Jin cavalry would be defeated with one blow.
Therefore, Yao Youzhong envied Chu Tian and his soldiers.
Chu Tian looked at Kaifeng City, which was still emitting black smoke: "We have to summon all the troops and expel the Jin soldiers."
The outer city of Kaifeng was in chaos.
Not only the Jin soldiers were arsoning and looting, but also the Song army defeated soldiers took the opportunity to loot the outer city. There were also a large number of Kaifeng people in the outer city who were full of righteous indignation. Some of them killed hundreds of Jin soldiers in the chaos.
The people of Kaifeng hated the Jin soldiers who came to attack Kaifeng for the second time.
"I was almost killed by Jin soldiers."
Liu Bei was lying on the straw pile. Because the miracle doctor Bian Que who was accompanying the army came to rescue him, he was not killed.
Jin Wushu used a powerful crossbow to attack, which almost changed the direction of the main world.
"Brother, these Wanyan savages are not only brute force, but also extremely insidious. Next time I meet them, I will stab them to death."
Zhang Fei was very annoyed, as if he had the strength all over his body and didn't know where to use it.
Liu Bei's army was severely injured by Jin Wushu, killing and injuring two or three thousand people, and his lord Liu Bei was injured.
"Fortunately it's street fighting, otherwise it might be killed by them." Liu Bei was scared and looked at Chen Xi, a strange military advisor who was familiar with the Jin people. "Military advisor, what should we do?"
"Only by joining forces with other states and soldiers can we deal with the Jin soldiers. We must not fight each other."
Chen Xi fought with the Jin army for the first time. After roughly understanding the strength of the Jin army, he found that all the princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty underestimated the strengthened Jin soldiers.
There are many pseudo-saints, pseudo-imperors, and pseudo-king-level generals in the peak Jin Kingdom.
Only if the generals such as Guan Yu, Wang Meng, Wu Han were present, Liu Bei's army could fight the Jin army.
Otherwise, they will join forces with other princes.
"This statement makes sense."
Liu Bei supported himself and went to Longjin Bridge to meet Chu Tian and others.
Now the outer city has become a buffer area and battlefield for the Jin and Song dynasties, with a large number of civilians.
The cavalry advantages of the Jin soldiers were unable to be exerted. Once the two sides fought, most of the Kaifeng outer city would be razed to the ground.
"Let's go to Zhuque Gate and meet with the defenders."
Sun Jian led the Jiangdong Army, and after Xie Xuan's Northern Prefecture Army repelled the Jin army, he had the same idea as Liu Bei's army. They looked for other princes and dealt with the Jin army together.
Zhou Tai fought with Jin Jiang and suffered several heavy blows, but he didn't even frown.
On the way, there were also defeated Song troops plundering civilians.
A team of Song army defeated soldiers came out of a large family, carrying vases and cloth in their arms.
Tongque led the Northern Prefecture Army bypass and when he saw this team of Song soldiers, he was immediately angry. He gave a wink at Liu Laozhi, a fierce general of the Northern Prefecture Army.
Liu Laozhi drew his sword and killed all the Song soldiers in this small group.
The princes of the Han army did not act under the background of the Song Dynasty, and acted outright based on their own values and preferences.
They saw that the Song army was unhappy and still killed them. Anyway, they left Kaifeng City after the "Jingkang Battle".
In other words, if they see the dog emperor unhappy, they can also chop the dog emperor.
Theory is theory. If Emperor Song really kills, if the system fails to judge, the loss will be too great.
A group of princes gathered outside the Zhuque Gate in the inner city of Kaifeng. The soldiers were strong and the horses were waving.
The combined forces of these princes of the Han Empire exceeded 100,000.
Compared with the weak Song army and the Baojia militia who had no combat experience, these generals and soldiers were warriors who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood in the Shura Field. When they stood there, there was an invisible solemn aura filled with them!
The tens of thousands of Song troops gathered by Yao Youzhong seemed to be submissive in front of the real army of hundreds of battles, and as for other Baojia soldiers, they were even more afraid.
While the Han army princes gathered, the Song generals in Kaifeng City gathered their soldiers and temporarily controlled the troops. The chaos in the outer city finally declined.
One of the Song generals came with a group of soldiers, bleeding and furious.
Yao Youzhong pointed to the Song general and said to Chu Tian: "This is to sign a letter to Zhang Shuye, the Privy Council. Not long ago, with his son Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, he led 30,000 people to help. Most of the regular soldiers in the city were Zhang Shuye's soldiers. The rest of the troops were mainly Baojia militia."
"Uncle Zhang?!"
The Han army princes present, who knew Zhang Shuye, could not help but associate him with Song Jiang from Liangshanpo.
When Zhang Shuye was the governor of Haizhou, Song Jiang led his army to Haizhou. Zhang Shuye set up an ambush. Song Jiang's army was defeated, the deputy commander was captured, and Song Jiang was forced to surrender.
This is the real Song Jiang's uprising army, who was defeated by Zhang Shuye in one battle.
So the man in front of me was the one who defeated Song Jiang.
Now Zhang Shuye is in his sixties, his head is bleeding. He is angry, his hair is gray, but his forehead is full of blue veins, and he is carrying a blood-dropped goose-feather sword.
"Mr. Zhang, the Jin soldiers retreat temporarily, and they should celebrate, you are..."
Yao Youzhong saw that Zhang Shuye’s eyes were red and thought that something must have happened, otherwise Zhang Shuye would not have lost his mind.
Zhang Shuye's second son Zhang Zhongxiong supported Zhang Shuye and gritted his teeth: "The Heavenly Master Guo Jing is a liar. His Liujia Technique was defeated by the Jin cavalry, and the Jin soldiers seized the city gate! My father and brother were in the city gate tower at that time. Guo Jing slipped away with the excuse, but his father and brother were trapped in a siege. In the end, his brother died in battle, and his father was also injured!"
No wonder Zhang Shuye, who once defeated Song Jiang, was furious. It turned out that his eldest son was killed in a battle with the Jin soldiers.
This kind of thing happens to anyone, it will be angry.
"Guo Jing was originally just a small soldier, claiming to have magic, which could capture Jin general alive to retreat to the enemy. His Majesty and the Lords of the General of the Privy Council ordered him to cast spells and ordered his soldiers to go out of the city to fight. However, he was just a liar who spoke wildly!"
Zhang Zhongxiong explained the reason to everyone.
The Song generals were silent.
At that time, Guo Jing cast a spell, but everyone might not have been lucky.
If Guo Jing really knows magic, then all the Jin soldiers who were frightened by the Song soldiers would retreat.
However, their fantasies were shattered.
The Jin soldiers' butcher's knife is above feudal superstition.
It is obvious that Guo Jing is just a liar. Not only does he know how to spell, but he also lets the defenders leave the city wall to capture this solid city.
Chu Tian and Zhao Long both have a say in how difficult it is to attack the giant city.
As long as there are enough defenders and sufficient food, it will be no problem to defend a giant city for one or two years. Chu Tian besieged Yecheng, and Zhao Long besieged Taiyuan, but he struggled for several months but failed to capture it.
To be continued...
