The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Although the heavy crossbows equipped by ordinary soldiers of the Qinglong Empire have a slower firing speed, they are more powerful than bows and arrows. Every time an arrow is shot, an enemy soldier will fall to the ground.

Not far away on the wall of Tokyo City, many Song Army soldiers also saw that the Liao army was beaten and began to flee. This made them very surprised. After all, it had only been less than an hour since the war started. The Liao army, which had been victorious in every battle, was actually defeated by an unidentified force in such a short period of time. This matter seemed suspicious.

Therefore, in order to prevent falling into the trap and being ambushed, although the Song soldiers saw that the Liao army was defeated, they had no intention of opening the city gate and participating in the pursuit together.

Because only one force of the Qinglong Empire pursued, only about 300,000 enemy troops were captured in the end. In addition, more than 80,000 enemy troops were killed on the spot, and all other enemy troops fled.

It is unknown what kind of damage these fleeing rebels will cause to the people in the future!

However, Ye Tianlong now has no extra energy to take care of the escaped rebels. He is now focused on finding a way to resist the attack of those Jin people.

Those Jin people are like chicken blood. They are marching very fast now, and they may reach the territory of the Song Dynasty tomorrow. Therefore, Ye Tianlong must seize the time to build a defense line at the border to resist the attack of these Jin people.

It has to be said that the rise of those Jin people several years in advance really makes Ye Tianlong feel a little confused now. After all, according to the original time of the rise of the Jin people, Ye Tianlong originally had enough time to prepare.

And if he wanted to be able to resist the Jin people's attack with all his strength, there was no need for the Song Dynasty, which had long been decayed, to exist. Ye Tianlong planned to attack Tokyo City after a day of repairs, and take the city into his own hands, so that he could The manpower and material resources in the city can be utilized.

Because the city would be attacked tomorrow, Ye Tianlong asked his men to take the prisoners of war and work on all kinds of siege equipment overnight.

And those prisoners of war didn't resist this. After all, the treatment of warriors in the Song Dynasty was really bad. That's why these soldiers were able to surrender to the Liao people without any burden before, and now they can surrender to Qinglong without any psychological burden. Imperial service.

Even because Ye Tianlong let each of these prisoners eat a big chicken drumstick for dinner, these prisoners worked harder and harder, and built all the siege equipment before dawn.

The Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers in the city finally realized that something was wrong when they saw that the army outside the city began to build a large number of siege equipment after defeating the Liao people.

It's a pity that even if they knew that the enemy would attack the city soon, the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers in Tokyo City had no good solution. After all, the thousands of elite forbidden troops in the city who still had some fighting ability had been killed by the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji. They were taken away, and now there are only tens of thousands of weak soldiers left in the city.

And even these tens of thousands of troops are not necessarily full. After all, the Song Dynasty was so corrupt and incompetent that it was perfectly normal for the officers below to eat their pay and drink the soldiers' blood.

With such a small number of people, even if they were all pulled out, they probably wouldn't be able to cover the entire city wall. After all, Tokyo is a giant city with a population of several million! In ancient times, there were few cities whose population could compare with it.

Early the next morning, Ye Tianlong immediately launched an attack on Tokyo City. Hundreds of thousands of troops pressed forward from the east, west, and south walls.

The sparse garrison soldiers on the top of Tokyo City were also urging the officers to control the crossbows and catapults on the city wall to attack the enemy troops outside the city.

Unfortunately, those bed crossbows and catapults were all destroyed by the giant dragons, angels and flying dragons sent by Ye Tianlong before they were fired a few times.

After that, the crossbowmen from the Qinglong Empire began to fire arrows at the top of the city. Hundreds of crossbows were also dragged up by carriages, firing powerful and giant crossbow bolts at the defenders at the top of the city.

The defenders on the top of the city were suppressed by these continuous long-range attacks and were unable to raise their heads. Only a few arrows fell from the top of the city, which was unable to cause any effective hindrance to the infantry of the Qinglong Empire who tried to board the city. .

Soon Wu Song was the first to climb the city wall using a ladder, Lin Chong, who was eager to seek revenge on Gao Qiu, was the second to climb the city wall, and then Yang Zhi, who was eager to make meritorious deeds, followed closely and the third to climb the city wall.

These three masters happened to be located on the three walls of the east, west and south. After they successfully climbed onto the city, they relied on their strong force value to block the Song soldiers who were constantly besieging them, giving other comrades the opportunity to climb up the city.

As more masters and soldiers climbed onto the city walls, the Qinglong Empire had completely established a foothold on these three walls. At the same time, Wu Song, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi each led a team of elite heavy infantry to attack the city wall.

The army of the Song Dynasty was really rotten to the core. Although the equipment of these Forbidden Army soldiers in the capital was pretty good, they all had no fighting spirit and were easily defeated by the heavy infantry led by Wu Song and the others.

Then the three people who successfully killed the city wall led the soldiers to open the city gate, allowing more comrades outside the city to enter the city. Then, together with the soldiers outside the city, they fought against the enemies who were still resisting on the city wall. The army launched a pincer attack.

Faced with this difficult battle situation with two sides attacking from both sides, the Song soldiers quickly surrendered neatly.

After completely occupying the city wall, the Qinglong Empire's army continued to attack the city, especially the imperial palace, which was its key target.

However, unlike his comrades who were eager to capture the palace, Lin Chong led a small team of troops to kill Gao Qiu's mansion in Tokyo.

The reason why he was reduced to being a bandit in a mountain stronghold was because he was harmed by the traitor Gao Qiu. Now that he has finally returned to Tokyo City, Lin Chong naturally wants to take revenge.

However, when Lin Chong and his people rushed to the door of Gao Qiu's mansion, they found that the mansion looked quite deserted, and there were not many people inside at all.

Afterwards, Lin Chong arrested several servants in the mansion and questioned them before he learned that Gao Qiu had actually fled to Shuzhong with the faint king Zhao Ji.

When Lin Chong heard the news, he was so angry that he punched a stone lion in front of Gao Qiu's house until it exploded on the spot.

Ye Tianlong, who had just entered the city, heard the noise and thought there was some fierce battle breaking out here! He led a team of personal guards and rode over to check, only to find that it was his general Lin Chong who was here to vent his grief and anger because he failed to find his enemy.

"Coach Lin! Don't worry, Gao Qiu is just lucky this time! I promised you back then that even if I chase him to the end of the world, I will find a way to help you catch him."

Listening to His Majesty the Emperor's comfort, Lin Chong's depression finally eased a lot. Then the two of them joined together and headed towards the palace like other groups of people.

At this time, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, who had just come to power, was hiding in the palace with a group of his ministers and shivering!

There were actually two loyal officers before, who were said to be able to protect His Majesty the Emperor from breaking through the enemy-free north gate.

However, Zhao Huan simply did not believe that his useless soldiers could protect his own safety, so he directly rejected the suggestions of the two officers and just hid in the palace like an ostrich burying his head in the sand to deceive himself. Pray that God can send down punishment and wipe out all the enemy troops who invade the city.

However, all this was just his naive fantasy after all. Soon Yang Zhi led a group of cavalry to the gate of the palace.

There is also a city wall around the palace. Unfortunately, because the Song army in the city has been completely demoralized, the several defenders on the city in front of the palace are almost turning into bloody men when they see a group of people and horses being killed. The enemy's heavy cavalry attacked fiercely, and they were immediately frightened and slipped off the city wall, with no intention of staying to stop the enemy.

Yang Zhi didn't pay attention to the frightened enemy troops at all. He saw that his horse speed did not slow down, and when he rushed to the palace gate, he swung the Yanyue Sword heavily in his hand, and a silver-white sword light shot out. He slashed hard at the palace gate.

With a loud bang, the thick palace gate was smashed into pieces by Yang Zhi, and then Yang Zhi and hundreds of cavalry behind him rushed straight into the palace.

By the time Ye Tianlong and Lin Chong arrived, Yang Zhi had already controlled all the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Yang Zhi, who had finally successfully accomplished a great feat, was looking proud and proud at this time. Unfortunately, after learning from Lin Chong that the traitor Gao Qiu actually followed the faint king and fled to Shuzhong, Yang Zhi's original happy mood also disappeared. Feeling a little down.

You know, it's not just Lin Chong who has a grudge against Gao Qiu! Yang Zhi and that guy also have a lot of grudges.

It was because Yang Zhi knew that by capturing the palace, it was more important to capture the young emperor. Otherwise, he would have gone straight to Gao Qiu's mansion like Lin Chong after entering the city.

After Ye Tianlong took over the city of Tokyo, he immediately began to use the huge manpower in the city to build various city defenses. At the same time, he also selected some young men and trained them as militiamen, who could then help defend the city.

In the original history, the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty faced the Jin army that was attacking the city. It can be said that they continued to make tricks. In the end, the Jin people captured both emperors, creating the Jingkang Disgrace. .

Ye Tianlong didn't want this tragedy to happen again, so after he completely took over the city of Tokyo, he immediately began various combat preparations to prepare for the attack of the Jin Kingdom army.

As for Ye Tianlong's attitude of wanting to fight head-on with the Jin people, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had just surrendered to the Qinglong Empire were very worried.

Many of these guys have heard from the Liao people before that those Jin people are very scary. They are invulnerable and have green faces and fangs, as if they are evil spirits sent from the hell.

Those Jin people often dared to attack tens of thousands of Liao troops when they only had a few hundred riders. However, under such a disparity in strength, those Jin people were still able to win. It's really fucking outrageous. Opening the door for outrageous people is simply outrageous.
