Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 672 Thanks to Emperor Zhao of the Central Plains

At the foot of the city of Jinzhou, another golden soldier arrived at the foot of the city.

When Guo Yaoshi looked from the top of the city, he saw a gray ocean, connected end to end, stretching for ten miles without seeing the edge.

The generals in the city watched the Jin army come to help again, their faces were all gloomy, and the atmosphere was depressed.

"I'm afraid there are fifty thousand Jurchen horses outside the city, which is really shocking!" After all, Jinzhou is only a battlefield.

Yeluyu saw that after surrendering to the Jin army, the Liao army at this place had no will to fight, and there will be no will to fight.When the Jin army invaded the city, if Guo Yaoshi led his troops to fight desperately, the city of Jinzhou might have fallen into the hands of the Jin army long ago.I can't wait for Hope to return to Libao to come to help.

"Don't say it's [-] troops, even if there are [-] soldiers, what can I do?" Guo Yaoshi clasped his fists at the general Hui Libao and said, "Although Jinzhou is small, it is small and strong. The city is high and the pond is deep. Sufficient food and fodder, ten thousand people stationed inside, over ten thousand cavalry outside, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians as the backing, even if the Jin soldiers are savage and dare to fight, our army is not weaker than them."

The Battle of Jinzhou did not only involve Jinzhou City. Although this is the gate of the Jinxi Corridor, it is not possible for a single city to block the entire corridor.

Therefore, the Liao army is divided into two, one inside and one outside.Inside the city are Hui Libao and Guo Yaoshi, and outside the city are Yelu Mawu and Xiao Dahai.

Guo Yaoshi also proposed to organize the young men in the city to participate in the defense of the city, so as to liberate part of the police force in the city, but the decision to return to Libao has been delayed.He naturally knew the scruples of returning to Libao, Jin Bing had already made a clamor, telling the people in the city to do it for themselves.If he dared to assist Khitan, he would destroy the city in the future and leave no human or animal behind.

Back to Libao, he was worried that if he organized the young men in the city, it would give the golden soldiers an opportunity.Because once those young adults make trouble at a critical moment, it will be impossible to deal with it.

It would be better to tell them to be quiet from the beginning to the end, and the police guarded by divisions will save worry and effort.

"Send someone to Nanjing Road for help..." the first general said.

"Two groups of people have been sent to Nanjing Road to ask for help, but no news has come back so far. It's really worrying..."

"Then it will last for a few days. Maybe the Dading Mansion has already been captured by the Jin army." There has never been a lack of monks who beat the clock for a day in the Khitan army.

A group of generals spoke softly, and behind them, groups of soldiers were holding bows and crossbows, or carrying rolling stones, lumber, oil tanks, and arrows.Supplementing the defense materials on the top of the city.

At the same time, the newly arrived Nian Wudao, Nian Han, also called Wan Yan Zonghan, was also looking at Jinzhou City from afar.This is Wanyan Aguda's number one general.

Guo Yaoshi's old opponent, Wanyan Xigunai, led the army to attack Jinzhou, but failed to succeed in several attacks, and reported to Wanyan Aguda's office, which aroused the anger of Jurchen's senior management, and immediately sent Nianbuyue to come.

The army also carried a sharp weapon for attacking the city, thanks to Zhao Song's support.Otherwise, as far as the Jurchens are concerned, how could they have such a sharp weapon in their hands.

Nian Buhe stood on a high platform and watched from a distance. Behind him, many generals stood upright, also staring at the city defense of Jinzhou City.

This is a small city, 120 paces in five miles, but more than three feet high.It was the Liao army that had been reinforced over the years.According to Xi Gunai, the city walls are also very thick, and the moats are wide and deep, all of which affected the Jin army's attack.And the one who guards the city is Guo Yaoshi.

In the past, such a city was really a catastrophe for the Jin army.

but now……

Nian Wuhe looked carefully, and then Fang said: "Go again and get people to shout to persuade them to surrender. Tell them that now that Kaesong surrendered, I, Dajin, can forget the past and regard them as glorious warriors. But if it's time to break the city, I will It is regarded as cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

After finishing speaking, Nian didn't drink any more and stopped looking at the city, and only made calculations in his heart, calculating that Jinzhou would be taken down in a few days.

He was sent by Wanyan Aguda, and he brought a secret weapon.

"Don't worry. Jinzhou City seems to be very strong, but it will be taken down soon." Xi Gunai and the others were puzzled by what Nian did not drink. A smile appeared on the corner of the former's mouth. The emperor of the Song Kingdom in the Central Plains."

He really wanted to meet the Emperor Zhao who had lost most of his country.Ask him yourself, is he a fool to give them such a powerful sling?

If you use the Thunderbolt Cannon, it may take only a few days to take Jinzhou City.And isn't he afraid that Dajin Kingdom will use it to destroy cities and pull out strongholds to attack the Central Plains?
In the eyes of the Jurchens, the rich Central Plains is always the fattest and most delicious fresh meat.But the Lu Qi Dynasty in the Central Plains is a major obstacle preventing them from advancing into the Central Plains.And the tall and solid cities in the Central Plains are also stumbling blocks that block their progress...

Did the emperor surnamed Zhao really think they would abide by the agreement?Sticking to drink can not understand how there is such a stupid person in the world, take the initiative to teach others the sword in their hands.

The power of this weapon invented by the Qi Emperor in the Central Plains is beyond the imagination of sticky.In the past few years, he relied on this powerful siege machine to break down the tall and strong cities in the Central Plains time and time again.

But the Jurchens would not call it Liangshan Pao, but changed its name to Thunderbolt Pao.Because every time it is launched, it is as powerful as a bolt from the blue.

Sticking did not drink, he frowned slightly, with a flash of anger on his face, he shook his hands and got off the high platform.

It was a Jurchen military officer, followed by several entourages, who rode his horse towards Jinzhou City, and was shot into a hedgehog by a powerful crossbow on the top of the city.

In the next five days, the two sides ceased fighting, and the Jin soldiers never launched an attack on Jinzhou City.Not even harassment.

Until another morning.Hoarfrost dyed the withered grass and yellow leaves with a thin layer of crystal frost.The entire city of Jinzhou was shrouded in a hazy morning mist, making it difficult for people to see the situation at the top of the city. At the same time, the defenders on the top of the city could not see the golden soldiers outside the city clearly.

It is the season of high and crisp autumn, when the sun sheds its luster, and the trace of mist left in the morning quickly subsides under the sun.The Xiaoling River [Xiaoling River] once again appeared in people's eyes. Looking from a distance, the eyes are full of shining water marks, and the breeze is blowing waves, slightly rippling.

There is a puddle ten miles away from Jinzhou City, where the cavalry of the Jin Army is stationed.The surface of the lake, which is several kilometers wide, seems to have been clarified, and the green is so pure, like a clean and flawless emerald.

Today's weather is very good, the mist all over the sky has dissipated, there is not a trace of miscellaneous clouds in the blue sky, and it seems that there is not a single bird in sight.

Twenty thunderbolt cannons were pushed to the foot of Jinzhou City. When the mist completely dispersed, follow-up stone bullets were also delivered one after another. Wanyan Xiyin, who led the artillery team, gave an order and began to load the cannon stones one after another.

After Zhao Song tasted the taste of being beaten for a long time, the Liao army also officially tasted this taste.

— very strong.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One piece after another, the cannon stones drew an arc in the air, and with a whistling sound, they rushed straight to the solid city wall.The cities of the Liao Kingdom were also made of rammed earth. No matter how hard they were built, how could they withstand the bombardment of counterweight stone cannons?
The cannonballs hit the city wall one by one, which was a pothole the size of a pot.The shattered rammed earth fell like rain.

The city towers were the most targeted targets, and it was not a piece of cake to knock down a city as huge as the target by hitting it one by one.Just when Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen fled to the top of the city in shock, the two-story tower completely collapsed.

"Straight mother thief, where did the Jurchen savages get such sharp stone cannons?"

Zhen Wuchen is also a veteran. Although he didn't stay in the city for long, he didn't feel right after thinking about it.The first is that the cannon hits fast; the second is that the force of the cannon is too strong; the third is that the impact of the cannon is too close.

These stone cannons are completely different from the stone cannons they usually see in the Liao army. "Old Guo, this stone cannon is powerful. Why do I think it is quite similar to the Liangshan Cannon that Mr. Yang said?"

"Boom!" A cannonball flew over the top of the city, rubbed against the ruins of the collapsed floors, and flew into the city.Looking at the height, if the tower didn't collapse, it must have hit the top of the city.

The ruins of the city tower were wiped down by the cannon stone, and the debris splashed out made the soldiers in the city cry again and again.

Guo Yaoshi's expression, which was stunned by Zhen Wuchen's words, immediately turned cold.

"I'm afraid it's the Liangshan cannon. Otherwise, why would the cannon stone outside the city be so accurate?"

Guo Yaoshi felt a sense of fear in his heart.If this is really Liangshan Cannon, Jinzhou City is in danger.He had already known a lot about the great achievements of Liangshan Pao from Yang Lin.The famous cities and large counties in the Central Plains cannot withstand a single blow, and Jinzhou, a small northern city, is even more vulnerable.

The continuous bombardment of stone cannons outside the city has already caused panic in the city of Jinzhou.The collapse of the city tower even caused some casualties to the defenders, causing the soldiers and officers both above and below the city to turn pale and stagger back in panic.

Jinzhou is also close to Liaodong. The situation of the Jurchens is well known to the soldiers there.No one would have imagined that those uncivilized barbarians would have such a powerful siege weapon.It took only a few rounds of firing, and the city tower was smashed down.

The stone cannons outside the city are obviously much more powerful than ordinary stone cannons.It hit the city, causing the entire city wall to shake violently.

"Your Majesty!" Someone shouted from around, but Hui Libao galloped over on horseback.The rapid collapse of the city wall obviously made Hui Libao, who was sitting in the city, uneasy.

But when he saw that the soldiers and generals above and below the city were panicking, Huilibao's uneasiness was suppressed no matter how great he was.

But after carrying these people on his back, his face was full of ferocity, anger and uneasiness.

No matter how strong and thick the city walls of Jinzhou were, they couldn't bear being constantly bombarded by such sharp weapons.He had ventured up to the top of the city before, and he was afraid that in another three to five or seven days, the city wall would eventually be blasted with a gap?
"You mean the Liangshan Pao outside the city?" Hui Libao was really taken aback.He had also heard the name of Liangshan Pao, but he never paid attention to it.He is King Xi, and the palace is in the prairie.The speech there relies on horses and swords, not heavy siege machines.

But recently, he finally had to face up to it.

"Your Majesty, if this is really Liangshan Cannon, Jinzhou City is in danger. I'll wait and make plans early." They were able to withstand the onslaughts of the Jin soldiers outside the city in Jinzhou not only because of the bravery of the soldiers in the city, but also Most of them are high and thick walls.

And without this city wall, it would be a broken coconut, no matter how big it was, it would be broken.

……

Qiongzhou in the South China Sea thousands of miles away.

Changhua Army in the northwest of the island, at the mouth of the Lun River.In a small port, ships coming and going, and laborers carrying and unloading are everywhere.

The military city of Changhua Army stands at the mouth of the Lun River, facing the sea is a strait thirty or twenty miles long, with an island called Lion Rock at the head.

It is elongated, like a cork in the strait.It shelters the strait from wind and rain, so the Qi army regards it as a forward base for attacking South Vietnam, rather than the Qiongzhou prefecture.

At this moment, hundreds of ships, large and small, gathered in the strait, their axles were thousands of miles away, there were many sail walls, and red flags were waving in the wind.
