With that indomitable momentum and bravery, the average army would have been frightened when facing such an enemy. How can I still have the courage to fight them?
If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the imperial guards trained by Yang Wu, I'm afraid that the city wall here might have fallen under the first wave of attacks. A rough calculation of the losses was made.
The Guards lost nearly 4,000 people, of whom less than 500 were injured, and the rest were all killed in battle. The total number of Jin corpses is estimated to be less than 400.
These people were still exhausted and were finally killed by the Guards. If more people were allowed to board the city wall, the Guards' defense line might collapse.
The battle between the two sides is about willpower. The willpower of ordinary people cannot withstand that kind of fierce and fearless momentum. It would be strange if my inner defenses didn't collapse.
Looking at the Jin troops outside the city, Yang Wu felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Can anyone really defeat such an army? His mind flashed past the soldiers on Yunze City Wall.
But soon, a look of ridicule appeared on his face. They were just an army composed of a group of refugees, similar to bandits. At most, they were better equipped. How can such an army compare with the Jin Army?
Even if Yunze's city wall is very strong, in front of the siege ladder, as long as the Jin army is allowed to climb the city wall, the final result is self-evident.
In fact, he looked down on Yunze's soldiers from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't been fully prepared and didn't want his brothers to sacrifice needlessly, he would have captured Yun City long ago.
Withdrawing his thoughts, his gaze became deeper. After this attack by the Jin Army, the surviving group of Imperial Guards would become even more powerful. He just had to hold on for now.
Or, wait until those reinforcements arrive, and then they go out to attack from inside and outside the city. No matter how strong the Jin army is, the final result will be to be destroyed here.
After the first round of attacks, the Jin army adjusted its offensive. Bahan below looked at the repulsed soldiers. There was no anger in his eyes. He did have some appreciation for the imperial guards on the city wall.
At least, compared to the Jingjun he encountered along the way, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards in front of him was indeed much stronger. The only ones who could compare with this were probably the soldiers from the cities they massacred.
He had always looked down on the Jing people, but after this period of time, he still knew that there were also bloody people among the Jing people, just like the Jing army who fought desperately to resist in those cities.
Even though they knew they were going to die, they still chose to fight to the last man without retreating. But there are really too few such Jingren. There are so few that there are not even one thousandth of Jingren.
If there were more, the Jin people would not dare to be so arrogant and attack the Jing Dynasty's Tokyo with a hundred thousand troops.
He once again issued the order to attack the city, and the battle suddenly became fierce again. The battle on the city wall continued, while Zong Han, not far away, camped down with 10,000 people.
He sent out all the remaining tens of thousands of troops. The Qinwang troops in the surrounding area soon received the news that Tokyo was besieged, and they came at full speed.
But when they arrived less than a hundred miles away from Tokyo City, they saw thousands of Jin cavalry blocking them.
There were tens of thousands of King Qin's troops on each route. Looking at the Jin army, which was only a few thousand, they were filled with contempt. The coach even issued an order to attack directly.
But when the armies of both sides collided, only half an hour later, they found that their entire army collapsed. Tens of thousands of people were directly penetrated and frightened by thousands of people, and their morale was completely destroyed.
The surrounding 150,000 troops, a total of six Qinwang troops, were defeated in half an hour, and the Jin army dispatched a total of less than 30,000 troops.
The 150,000 King Qin's troops fled, with almost half of them dead or wounded. The rest fled without a trace, and several of the commanders of King Qin's army died in battle or were captured.
The 150,000-strong army was so vulnerable.
Wanyan Yinshuke sat on the horse and looked at Jingjun escaping in the distance with a trace of sarcasm on his lips.
"Jing Ren... you are such incompetent people. They are occupying this great land. It is such a waste!" The contemptuous voice made the golden people around him burst into playful laughter.
The laughter made those Jingjun who escaped feel humiliated, but also helpless. Because of the corruption in the court, these people have long lost their fighting spirit and are filled with confusion.
They don't know why they are fighting, and the blood in their hearts has long been worn away, so they have no fighting power at all.
Under the subsequent sweep, the 150,000 King Qin army was completely defeated, and the other 150,000 King Qin army that had just arrived had just rushed outside Tokyo.
At this time, in front of the entire Tokyo city, there were only Ba Han's nearly 10,000 siege troops and Zong Han's 10,000 reserve troops. There are tens of thousands of civilians. The remaining 80,000 Jin troops were still mopping up other Jing troops on the periphery.
Yang Wu looked overjoyed when he saw this. He looked at Zong Han and then at the 150,000-strong army. He called the deputy general and asked the imperial guards to dispatch 50,000 people and the patrol army to dispatch 50,000.
He was going to lead an army of 100,000 people out of the city to fight to the death with Zong Han's army. Speaking of which, his 100,000 troops, plus King Qin's 150,000, added up to an army of 250,000, which was enough to destroy Zong Han's 20,000 army. it's here.
But just as he was thinking this, Zong Han's 10,000-strong army actually launched an attack on King Qin's 150,000-strong army.
Seeing this scene, Yang Wu was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect the Jin people to be so brave. They dared to charge against an army of 150,000 people with less than 10,000 people. This is simply courting death.
But what shocked him was that the charge of 10,000 people dispersed one of King Qin's troops of 30,000 in the first turn, almost collapsing at the first touch.
The remaining King Qin's army wanted to go over to support, but they let Zong Han's army directly hit them again. Seeing this, Yang Wu made a decisive decision and quickly sent people to lead an army of 100,000 people out of the city.
They wanted to use this to flank Zong Han's 10,000-strong army, but as soon as the 100,000-strong army left the city, Bahan's 6,000 reserve troops left behind unexpectedly rushed towards them.
As soon as the 100,000-strong army left the city, they were blocked by Bahan's 6,000-strong golden army. Not only that, but in the distance, tens of thousands more Jin troops appeared. After sweeping away the surrounding area, a group of Jin generals finally returned to support.
In other words, they had already known about the arrival of the 150,000 King Qin army, and they were waiting for the moment of decisive battle.
In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of troops surrounded the 150,000 King Qin's troops, and some even began to rush towards Yang Wu's 100,000 troops.
Seeing this scene, Yang Wu reluctantly recalled the 100,000 troops to the city. He knew that if all the 100,000 troops were released, they would only become a meal for the Jin army.
Even if he wanted to join forces with the 150,000 King Qin troops, it was impossible, not to mention that as the tens of thousands of Jin troops rushed back, he lost his chance to fight. Moreover, King Qin's army was already in chaos when the opponent came back!
When the 100,000-strong army returned to the city, they counted their numbers and discovered that they had lost nearly 20,000 people.
Outside the city, the 150,000 King Qin army was quickly defeated by the Jin army after several hours of fighting. At least nearly one-third of the troops were lost.
The losses on the Jin Army's side would not exceed 3,000 people. Such a terrifying battle loss ratio made Yang Wu on the city wall feel deep despair.
In the palace, Emperor Kangzheng Song Ming and Supreme Emperor Song Ji heard the reported military situation and sat slumped on the dragon chair, speechless for a long time. His eyes were filled with deep despair.
In Yuncheng, Yunze also received the battle report from Tokyo. He frowned and felt helpless. However, judging from the history of previous lives. The first Jin army went south, probably without success.
Logically speaking, Jingchao should not be destroyed this time. However, although history overlaps, it will also change. He stood on the city wall, looking toward Tokyo in the distance, with hesitation in his eyes.
He didn't know if he should take action. Not only for Song Ji, but also for Song Ji, if Jin really destroyed the Jing Dynasty, it would only be the people who would suffer. But his current strength is still too weak.
Although the total strength of Danyang City and Longtoushan's troops was more than 30,000, if all these troops were exhausted, he would have to start all over again, and the Jin people would not give him much time.
But if they don't send troops and let the Jin people break Tokyo, then the Jin army will only have to go south to Danyang City with their current strength and equipment. I guess I can't stop the Jin man. At that time, everything may be destroyed and I will have to start from scratch.
However, relatively speaking, if troops are sent to help Song Ji, as long as he keeps Tokyo and forces the Jin people to retreat, he will have at least two years to develop.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Tang Jian appeared behind him. He walked over quickly. Although, most affairs in Yuncheng are supervised by his wife Yun Niang. But Tang Jian was in charge of these matters.
"Sir, the number of horses you asked me to count has been calculated. In addition to the five hundred horses before, another five hundred horses were sent from Zhabie. In addition to the horses sent by other merchants from the Western Regions, Altogether, there are about two thousand war horses.”
"There are more than a thousand horses left, and there are also more than a thousand stallions. However, only two thousand can actually be sent to the battlefield. There are six thousand cavalry that can go into battle, and there are also new ones joining four thousand."
"Of the 10,000 cavalry, about 4,000 have actually completed training and met the qualification standards. Madam Su is responsible for the training of the cavalry."
After reporting everything, Tang Jian looked at Yunze, waiting for his next instructions. Although he didn't know why Yunze suddenly asked him to count the number of horses and cavalry, he vaguely knew that Yunze was probably preparing to send troops to the capital. However, with the little power they had, they would probably only send troops to the capital to support them. Food.
"Well, I understand... Madam, is she still in the cavalry camp?" Yunze nodded to Tang Jian.
"Madam is still training soldiers in the cavalry camp..." Tang Jian replied.
