Chapter 608 Song Jin Zhengyan (3)

As soon as the sky was dawn in the morning, abnormal movements occurred outside the Jin army camp. All 80,000 troops gathered outside the camp. The sword light flashed, the armor was bright, and a large flag was pressing against the top of the sky. Generals Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongwang looked solemnly and looked at the east with serious eyes.

‘Woo’ As the sound of low trumpets resounded throughout the field, a huge army appeared in the distance. A white moving tent was pulled by eighty horses among the overwhelming banners. This was a wide wooden platform with wooden wheels, with an area of ​​three acres. A huge white felt tent was placed on the wooden platform. Around it was a soldier wearing iron armor. A golden black wolf-headed banner was flying at the top of the felt tent, which meant that this was the Jurchens' tent.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked out of the tent. He was about fifty years old, tall and thin, with no trace of blood on his pale face, and the flesh on his cheeks had shrunk, highlighting the two big cheekbones. This person was the Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Dynasty.

The unfavorable situation in Yanjing Prefecture made him unable to calm down and he had to personally conquer Yanjing City. Behind him, he followed a large group of important officials from the Jin Kingdom, including Wu Qimai, Sagai, and Cibushu, Loushi, Olugu, Alihe, Pu Family Nu and other high-ranking civil and military officials, followed Wanyan Aguda to Yanjing Prefecture.

Wanyan Aguda once again brought 30,000 cavalry, which made the number of Jin soldiers outside Yanjing City reach 110,000.

‘Woo

Thousands of trumpets were blown at the same time, and the momentum was very spectacular. Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongwang walked forward quickly and crawled in front of the high platform. Wanyan Agu waved his hand, and the car stopped slowly. Two guards brought him a wide seat covered with tiger skin. Wanyan Agu meditated and ordered his left and right, "Bring them up!"

Zong Bi and Zong Wang were taken to the wooden platform, and they knelt down again, "Son Master, see your father!"

Wanyan Aguda glanced at them and said lightly: "One of you is my second son and the other is my fourth son. I respect you two, but you have made me feel uneasy. I am not in good health in the past two years. Can't you let me raise you well for a few years?"

Wanyan Aguda's expression was very calm and his tone was whispering, but it was like lightning and thunder in their ears, which made the two brothers very ashamed, "Father, my son is not doing his job well, please punish me!"

"You underestimate the cunning of the Song army, and you value the so-called covenant too much. Can you not kill Yanjing without Tong Guan's letter of help? In the end, he annihilated 20,000 Liao troops for others and made wedding dresses for others for nothing. What should I say to you?"

The two brothers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Wanyan Aguda glared at them fiercely, and then slowly said: "That is to remember the lessons this time. We Jurchens have always used swords and arrows to gain benefits, not relying on any covenant. I hope Yanjing City can be taken down as soon as possible, and that bastard Yelu Yanxi has begun to become active again."

"Son of yourselves obey your order!"

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi had negotiated in advance that Wanyan Zongbi's 30,000 elite Jurchen cavalry did not move, but were attacked by the 30,000 Bohai Army under Wanyan Zongwang. The Bohai Army belonged to the Jurchen army, which was actually a joint army composed of Xi, Khitan, Goryeo, Shiwei, Dalugu and other alien races.

At this time, the flag in the military camp was waving, and the earth-shaking war drums began to ring, 'dong!dong!dong!' Wanyan Zongwang shouted sternly: "The Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Fifth Army are ready to attack the city!"

The two brothers have already deduced the specific siege plan in the big tent many times, including the three ten thousand captains of the Bohai Army, who are very familiar with the siege deployment that is about to break out.

The siege is mainly about the terrain. The terrain is flat, which is conducive to large-scale siege weapons operations. Therefore, the Xicheng, with bumpy terrain, was first eliminated, and the second is that the army must concentrate on siege, which is also their experience in attacking Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.

They finally decided to attack Dongcheng and Beicheng, especially Dongcheng, which was witnessed by their old wolf master. They decided to send 20,000 heavy troops, and the ten thousand men, Pulinu, led another 10,000 troops to attack Beicheng.

The Jin soldiers destroyed the Liao Kingdom and experienced countless siege battles. They were definitely not brave soldiers who could only ride and shoot. Even the experience and courage of attacking cities were far inferior to the Song and Liao armies.

In just a moment, 20,000 troops had been assembled three miles away from the East City. They were divided into four square formations, like four black carpets laid in the flat field. The sun shone on their black iron armor, and the sharp spear tips were also flashing cold light in the sun. The same indifference and pairs of wild beast-like eyes. With their strong and short body shape, it seemed that they contained powerful explosive power.

Li Yanqing saw it very clearly at the top of the city, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder the Jin soldiers could destroy the Liao and Song countries in the early days. The murderous aura and bravery that the soldiers showed on the soldiers were by no means able to resist. Although they were generally shorter than the Song army, if they fought alone, the Song soldiers would be like weak scholars with little body and no diligence. The murderous aura of beasts on the Jin soldiers would have far superiority, and they seemed to be born for fighting.

‘This is the difference between the farming and the fishing and hunting nations!’ Li Yanqing sighed softly.

But Li Yanqing just sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He would never let any subordinates see a trace of timidity on his face.

This time, Li Yanqing's right army was responsible for the defense of the East City. Zhong Shidao also knew that the East City was the focus of the enemy's attack. All five thousand wing soldiers were transferred from the central army to Li Yanqing, responsible for handling heavy defensive weapons such as trenchers and fire cannons. The East City was about ten miles long, and the city was wide. The soldiers flowed through endlessly, appearing tense and orderly. Li Yanqing handed over the northern section of the East City to Liu Ya, while the southern section was Yang Zaixing. In addition, Li Yanqing promoted Cao Xing to be responsible for commanding the operation of the Five Thousand wings army.

From afar, Cao Xing yelled: "Bastard! Who made your hand dirty and ruined one in vain? Do you know how many enemies it can kill?"

Li Yanqing walked up and saw Cao Xing sternly scolding a soldier. The soldier lowered his head, his legs were shaking slightly, and there was a dark thunder next to him.

"What's going on?" Li Yanqing came over and asked.

The common feature of the Cao family is to protect their shortcomings. Mr. Cao is like this, and it is the same when it comes to Cao Xing, just as if he is genetic. He was scolding this subordinate just now, but when Li Yanqing asked, he immediately made things smaller.

"This thunderclap may not be placed properly during transportation. The thunderclap at the mouth of the pot was a little loose. This kid had a good intention and wanted to press the thunderclap tightly, but he used too much force, but he pushed the thunderclap into the pot. The fuse was also broken, wasting a thunderclap in vain."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter. Don't scold him like this. Leave it to the Gunpowder Shop and it will be safe again soon!"

Cao Xing glared at the soldier fiercely, "Why don't you go quickly!"

The soldier quickly picked up the thunder and ran to the city. Li Yanqing looked at the soldiers' backs running away, and smiled at Cao Xing and said, "Have you trained the soldiers? How to throw the thunder and lightning."

"I have already told all the generals that the key is the emission line, and there is no mistake at all."

A foot-long fuse is inserted on the mouth of each thunderbolt. A charcoal pen is specially used to draw a radiator on the fuse. When Mars burns to the radiator, it must be projected. It cannot be launched early or late. This is the key to launching a thunderbolt with a trencher.

This method was thought of by Li Yanqing, which saved the soldiers a lot of trouble. It would be okay to launch in advance. If a soldier was dizzy and did not see the progress, causing the thunder to explode on the top of the city, that would be a huge disaster.

Li Yanqing nodded, "As he said that, you still have to be careful. I am afraid that the catapult will get stuck at a critical moment. You have to take good care of the bottom. If you find that the catapult has abnormalities, stop launching immediately."

"I will definitely pay attention!"
