Chapter 61 Although Taiyuan City was broken, the hearts of the people are not dead

Sun Yi was young and frivolous, and inspired the words and the arrogance between the lines made Wanyan Zonghan, who was already in his fifties, even more angry!

Because the young man in the Jin Dynasty is not as good as the young man in the Song Dynasty! Only Wanyan Zongbi was a little bit like a new generation in the Jin Dynasty. However, he looked at the younger age at three years old and the older age at seven years old. Wanyan Zongbi's temperament is okay, and his internal fighting is OK. In the foreign wars, the results were mediocre.

This alone made him feel very troubled!

At most, he is among the Master Zhong. The generation of Master Zhong has been with no successor, which makes him even more distressed!

"Please surrender Zhang Xiaochun! Give him the position of prime minister. You must take down Taiyuan City as soon as possible." As soon as Wanyan Zonghan finished speaking, he saw the displeasure on the face of Bai Cangcang's old man.

The person who was unhappy was Yelu Yubing, who was a traitor from the Liao Kingdom. His wife was the sister of Emperor Tianzuo's concubine. Because of the battle between the prince of the Liao Kingdom, he surrendered to Jin after losing power. This person made a lot of efforts in the battle to destroy Liao. Emperor Tianzuo was able to be annihilated by him in one fell swoop, and this person's contributions accounted for at least 30%.

What position can a traitor reach? Now there is only one general in the army.

In the Jin Dynasty, it was difficult for traitors to be the most powerful minister. The prime minister Wanyan Zonghan promised was completely deceived by Zhang Xiaochun. As long as he deceived Zhang Xiaochun out of the city, it would be enough to shake the morale of the defenders in Taiyuan City.

It’s just that someone made him feel very uncomfortable but helpless. Not only did he say that he was the most powerful minister, he could occasionally suppress him in the court. It was Yuwen Xuzhong!

In the court, he advised both sides of the road to go south from Shanhaiguan and headed straight to Bianjing City.

If the Western Army is assisted by Yuwen Xuzhong, it will definitely fail. It is better to divide the troops from both sides, one from the west and the other from the east.

The Eastern Army could force Bianjing to defend the capital and abandon Taiyuan. The Western Army seized Tongguan and rejected the Western Army in order to complete the situation.

Yuwen Xuzhong is deeply loved by Jin Ting's current emperor Wanyan Sheng.

When the troops are united, what should I do if I return to Huanglong and take the throne?

How did the country in the south be founded? Isn’t that how it came about?

A yellow robe is not expensive.

Thinking about it now, it would be better to join forces and exit from Datong and go south all the way, and force Bianjing from Tongguan.

But there is nothing if. If the Song Dynasty reinforcements arrive, the Jin soldiers will be able to defeat Taiyuan at all, with the 50,000 elite soldiers and the 100,000 Khitans!

Yelu Yujian looked at Wanyan Zonghan's face and knew what he was thinking.

Is this person thinking that he was red when he heard of his position as prime minister?

He smiled bitterly, but he didn't think he should be the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom. He didn't necessarily want to do that position.

When he was a young man, he was a powerful royal family. How many rebellions did Emperor Tianzuo clear away?

What in the end? His wife and her sister died at the hands of Emperor Tianzuo.

In order to avenge, he became two ministers, became the vanguard of the Jin Kingdom, and captured the prefectures and counties of the Jin Kingdom. Not only that, he also raised a banner to make Emperor Tianzuo unvirtuous, proclaimed himself king, summoned the Liao people as the flanks of the Jin army and conquered the cities and territory.

After avenging his revenge, he was immediately abandoned by the Jin emperor without any mercy.

He had already experienced the position of the highest minister. It was like a tiger. Is that position really that easy to do? He had already experienced it and had no interest in it.

At this time, Qi Zonghan was still thinking about siegeing the city!

If it were him, he would inevitably retreat to Datong Prefecture and strictly guard the Datong Basin. If Datong was lost, the Jin Kingdom would no longer have the possibility of going south.

The Song army has changed!

Even the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty never showed such a tough personality!

Three thousand heavy infantry blocked nearly five thousand heavy cavalry! Like the reefs on the seaside, they were firmly surrounded by heavy cavalry like waves!

He had never seen such a tough Song army!

Some changes must have occurred that led to a great boost to the morale of the Song army!

And it is not the morale change brought about by the victory that set fire to the million-distance horse farm of Yunzhong Road.

He didn't know what he had given birth, but the nature of the Song army's fear of war had changed!

Moreover, Song Bing was pedantic and gentle, and could not do such a thing as raiding Yunzhonglu for 300 miles!

The shackles bound to the Song army and the procrastination of asking for advice on the emperor in everything have disappeared.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty delegated power!

This is the conclusion he came to. A few simple words were enough to make the Song army qualitatively change.

Taiyuan City was broken five times, and the city wall was destroyed, less than five meters. Twenty-four stone roads were added to the moat outside the city, but Taiyuan City still could not be broken!

Han people are good at fighting! He doesn't want to try what kind of power the Han people who lose their shackles will explode.

That would cost the price of life.

However, he was not going to remind Wanyan Zonghan, and was going to run away. Yelu Dashi surrendered to Jin and rebelled, established Dongliao, and called on his own to the head of his Xiang Shang.

If the situation is not good, I am afraid that my life will be lost. The Jin Kingdom will no longer have his place to stand.

Go to the Song Dynasty? He didn't want to go. The literati in that place was too sour and corrupt, and he couldn't stand it.

Then go to Xixia!

"Mr. Xi, my subordinates have different health. Can you go back and rest?" Yelu Yu asked to leave, and Wanyan Zonghan agreed.

The Jin envoy Wanyan Loushi came to Taiyuan City with a large amount of food and meat. He held an envoy, so naturally no one shot arrows to kill the envoy. The Han army still had such integrity.

The walls of Taiyuan City have long been mottled under the hammer and night of the catapult. The highest point is only five feet away, and there are ruins everywhere.

The outermost moat has been paved with twenty-four stone roads, but the intersection of these twenty-four stone roads is firmly grasped in the hands of the Song army, patrolling day and night, and unable to attack at all.

Beyond the broken city wall is a city wall made of wood up to ten meters high. It will be replaced immediately after it is destroyed to block the bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers.

Behind the wooden wall is a seven-meter-high geese-wing platform, with densely packed trenchers several meters high. Wanyan Loushi once circled the city, with a total of as many as 700.

All the houses in the city were demolished and made into trenchers, and the stones on the city walls were all turned into trenchers.

Thousands of wooden city walls connected in parallel are arranged on the shore of the moat. This kind of building is made of two or three feet of chestnut, jujube, elm and locust trees, and is five or six feet high. It is placed on top of the wood, with arrow windows in the middle, and sheep and horse walls at the bottom. Each building can be protected by huge rocks with three times.

The Mongolian army built a 60-mile dirt city outside the city, and built a platform higher than the Chuan Tower to build the city. The king ordered the army to burn the platform with oil shrubs and grass, and set up seven floors of geese wings in the Chuan Tower, and placed stone catapults, beds, crossbows and other sharp weapons to defend the city.

Taiyuan, which seemed to be in danger, has been delayed. Wanyan Loushi knew clearly that if the other party really did not surrender, it would take at least more than a hundred days for them to take down the city.

By then, there will be nothing in the city, even living people will be dying, and even moving will be very difficult to starve.

"Surrender! Surrender! You have proved the value of your existence with courage. This city will remember your name, and history will remember your name. Surrender. If you resist, the Xishuo will be angry and the city will be massacred. The elderly, weak, women and children will not be spared." Wanyan Loushi looked at the hungry and cold Taiyuan defenders and murmured to himself.

When the war ended like this, both sides were dead. He knew clearly that this time he came was just a fraud.

The bones were laid under the wooden wall. He stared at the bones for a long time, sighing for a long time, and even the servants heard it.

One general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven?

He did not sigh at this, but speculated that the food in Taiyuan City was less than he thought.

Wanyan Loushi wanted to go to Taiyuan City to negotiate peace, but Taiyuan City had a strong bow and crossbow shot at Wanyan Loushi's feet.

Stop the other party from moving forward!

"Go ahead and kill without mercy!" The soldiers guarding the city were already in extreme hunger. Seeing that the food truck and meat were already unable to control themselves, so they shot arrows to stop the opponent's pace of progress!

The Song Dynasty reinforcements had already walked outside the city. They had long seen a steady stream of reinforcements coming through the city walls. They had already seen hope, and the Jin Kingdom would not have to listen to anything else.

Taiyuan City, which had been defending for more than 180 days, finally ushered in dawn.

Wanyan Loushi stood beside the arrow and shouted loudly: "The Taiyuan defenders are loyal and brave, and the world can be seen! Today, they will deliver ten trucks of food and three trucks of meat! All the generals and high officials will be generous, and the Taiyuan envoy Zhang Xiaozhong will be the prime minister! Open the city gate and surrender and not kill them!"

Zhang Xiaozhong stood on the top of the city, his legs could not stand straight. He actually wanted to agree, but before, he had not successfully surrendered to the enemy in the face of battle, but Wang Bing noticed that he was forced to surrender with five hundred swords and axes. Now he was standing on the city wall and said nothing.

"Golden Angel..."

"kindness?"

"The little thief invading the treachery, why don't he retreat? My great Song Dynasty heavenly soldiers have arrived! You will definitely overturn the heavenly soldiers under the divine power! You are the ones who surrendered." Zhang Xiaochun's voice was very low, and Wang Bing was very doubtful if the other party could hear it.

Wanyan Loushi tried to take a step forward, but a sharp arrow was nailed to his feet!

The Song army didn't really want to shoot and kill this general who was extremely noble in terms of dressing up, and he didn't want to be broken into the city at all.

Although there is a reward for killing the general, the Jin soldiers who are extremely angry will definitely tear open the city defenses and avenge their relatives.

Everyone has selfish intentions. The Taiyuan defenders have been guarding for more than 180 days, and they are already tired. Let's leave the merits of destroying the enemy to reinforcements.

They now want to have a hot meal and eat a few pieces of meat with big mouthfuls.

The food in the city is tight, but it has not reached the point of being cannibalistic. The bones under the Mutou Sect are actually dead soldiers. The Taiyuan defenders who are unable to clean up the battlefield can only allow their bodies to be torn to pieces by wild animals at night.
