On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month of the first year of Kangzheng, the Jin people had been besieging the city of Tokyo for nearly ten days. The 300,000 Jing troops who entered the capital to serve the king were all beaten and disabled, with a loss of about 100,000. The remaining 200,000 escaped. They fled, but nearly 100,000 people stayed behind.
These Jingjun reorganized themselves and began to attack the surrounding Jin people. Although they were dispersed every time, these Jingjun would organize themselves again and harass the Jin people.
Although they could not cause substantial damage to the Jin army each time, their harassment allowed Tokyo City to defend the city for nearly ten days. Although the casualties on the city wall were heavy, after ten days of baptism of blood and fire, the defenders were able to defend the city. The city's imperial guards have been able to control the battle loss ratio to three to one, and sometimes even two to one.
In the entire city of Tokyo, there were 150,000 Imperial Guards, 100,000 patrols, and 250,000 troops, plus the people in Tokyo. Even after a ten-day siege and fierce fighting, the city wall was still saved.
Song Ji and Song Ming, father and son, were always concerned about whether the city wall would be breached. Once the city wall was breached, they would be worried about their fate.
At this time, the Royal Guards in the city lost nearly 70,000 people, and the patrol army also lost 30,000 people. The loss of 100,000 people was only replaced by the loss of less than 20,000 Jinren.
Just when Yang Wu thought he could take a breath, or when the Jin army could not hold on any longer, it would retreat.
Jin Wanyan Zongbi's 40,000 reinforcements also rushed over at this time. The total Jin army of 120,000 people was even more powerful and powerful than before.
The most important thing is that in addition to the 120,000 Jin troops, Guo Zhaotu also led an army of 40,000 to join the siege of Tokyo.
The army of 160,000 people put great pressure on Yang Wu in Tokyo City. Especially after Guo Zhaotu arrived, the number of enemies attacking the city doubled.
In addition to the original siege soldiers of the Jin Army, Guo Zhaotu also invested 20,000 troops in the siege. Guo Zhaotu in front of the formation even cursed loudly at the city.
He scolded all the eighteen generations of Song Ji and Song Ming's ancestors. The deep hatred in his eyes made Guo Zhaotu command his soldiers to attack the city with all their strength.
Song Ji and Song Ming, who were guarding the palace, were filled with despair when they heard that Guo Zhaotu had also led troops to attack the city. Their hearts were full of regret, and they regretted that they should not have killed Guo Zhaotu's entire family in a moment of anger.
Guo Zhaotu threatened to massacre the city, which also filled the hearts of those in the city who first regarded Guo Zhaotu as a hero and then called him a traitor, filled with panic and fear.
Millions of people throughout the city of Tokyo are in panic all day long, and their hearts are filled with despair.
As the Jin army and Guo Zhaotu joined forces to attack the city, Yang Wu felt that the pressure on the city defense was increasing, and the Jin army and Guo Zhaotu attacked the city wall several times.
If he hadn't filled it with the blood of soldiers regardless of casualties, Tokyo City might have been breached by now.
However, more and more troops were lost, and the pressure on the soldiers under his command was increasing. They always thought that after climbing the city wall, they would be dead. Many people are already showing signs of collapse.
It is estimated that before long, even if the enemy is not allowed to breach the city wall, the soldiers in Tokyo City may collapse. Defeated without a fight!
"General, the eastern corner of the city has been attacked by the Jin again..." At this moment, an anxious voice pulled Yang Wu back from his thoughts.
Seeing the Jin army ascending the city wall, Yang Wu's eyes filled with evil spirits and he rushed over in an instant.
"Inspection Army, if you don't want your parents and relatives to be slaughtered by the Jin people, cheer up. You are not fighting for yourself, you are fighting for your family, and you are fighting for the millions of people in the entire city of Tokyo. !”
As he shouted angrily, the cowering patrols were stunned for a moment. Soon, their eyes were bloodshot and they were killing him with weapons in hand.
There are forty or fifty Jin troops rushing up from the east corner of the city. They have opened an area on the city wall. Jin troops are rushing up one after another. If they are not defeated, I am afraid that this area may be breached. .
Those timid and cowardly patrol troops had forgotten the fear in their hearts at this time, and only thought of the scene of their parents and relatives being massacred by the Jin people.
The Jin people went south and slaughtered countless cities. In their eyes, the people were like pigs and dogs. Wherever they passed, blood flowed, and men, women, old and weak all died under their butcher's knives.
Bones and corpses can be seen everywhere on the road. Although the combat effectiveness of the patrol army is not strong, they also have their own bloody spirit.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of patrols and guards rushed over, and the two sides were entangled. The patrols fell one by one, and the guards fell one by one.
Their heads were either cut off or their bodies were cut open, even their intestines were spilled all over the floor. Even if they had a broken arm or a broken leg, they all rushed towards those golden men.
After a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the Jin people in this corner of the city were finally beaten down, but the corpses left behind were mostly patrol troops and imperial guards. The Jin people only left less than a hundred corpses. .
The Imperial Guards and patrols who were still alive on the city wall saw only the corpses on the ground, and some had only fear and terror in their eyes after they had narrowly escaped death. Most people vomited into a mess.
On the entire city wall, a gloomy atmosphere spread, and everyone had only despair in their eyes. Such an offensive and defensive battle, such casualties, made everyone almost collapse.
Without reinforcements, they didn't know when they would be defeated. Even if Yang Wu repeatedly made mental plans with the soldiers and repeatedly said that as long as they hold on, the Jin people will retreat.
But with such persistence, they don't know when it will end. Some people were already crying. Some people were already running away like crazy.
At this time, the Jinren and Guo Zhaotu's siege was ready to begin again. The despair on the city wall brought everyone to the brink of collapse.
Seeing this scene, Yang Wu had a look of helplessness on his face. If the Jin people were to attack again this time, the city wall might not be able to be saved, and the Jin people would probably be able to break through Tokyo City.
Just when everyone was despairing, suddenly, thousands of cavalry appeared on the right, led by a young general wearing red and black armor.
He held a spear and had a heroic face. His galloping horses attacked Guo Zhaotu's soldiers of the Jin army who were attacking the city. Thousands of horsemen under his leadership burst out with astonishing power.
"Jing General Yue Peng is here, the Jin people are coming to die quickly..." The young general shouted loudly, and in the blink of an eye, his horses rushed to the Jin troops under the city wall who were preparing to attack the city.
As the spear pierced forward, three Jin soldiers were stabbed together in an instant. The powerful impact caused dozens of Jin soldiers behind to be knocked over by their horses and trampled to death.
The young general hit the spear with his palm, and the spear passed through the bodies of the three Jin soldiers, stabbing the two Jin soldiers in front to death on the spot in the blink of an eye.
The moment the two golden men fell to the ground, the young general rushed to the spear, drew out his spear and slashed out. In the blink of an eye, several people were knocked away and their throats were cut by the spear.
As soon as the young general entered the battlefield, he killed more than a dozen Jin soldiers. His bravery shocked the faces of Jing Jun on the city wall, but he was soon aroused by this man.
"Kill...kill..." a group of Jing soldiers shouted, in order to strengthen the reputation of the young general. Behind the young general, there were several generals who killed more than a dozen Jin soldiers in a row, and their bravery was no less than his.
When the two sides engaged in battle, the thousands of cavalry actually caused chaos in the Jin army's siege army. Wherever it passed, the siege troops were beaten and fled in all directions.
Even if they organize an effective counterattack, they will soon be overwhelmed by their cavalry attacks. The nearly 40,000 siege army was directly disabled by the thousands of cavalry that appeared.
The despair in the hearts of the soldiers who were about to collapse on the city wall dissipated a lot, and they seemed to see hope faintly. There are thousands of cavalry here. Or, it is really possible to solve the siege of Tokyo.
Everyone hopes that these thousands of cavalry will directly destroy the Jin people, but their idea is good, but the number of cavalry is still too small after all.
Just as these thousands of horsemen were wreaking havoc on the battlefield, changes finally occurred in the Jin Army camp in the distance. They saw the changes here and had already sent cavalry, and the number of cavalry sent was 30,000.
The Jin people are all cavalry, 120,000 cavalry. Except for the 20,000 who attacked the city, the rest are still resting in the rear. If this cavalry hadn't appeared suddenly. I guess they can't even get close to the city wall of Tokyo!
Seeing nearly 30,000 cavalrymen at the Jin Army camp surrounding the thousands of Jingjun cavalrymen, everyone on the city wall suddenly became nervous.
Yang Wu sighed and looked at the young general named Yue Pengju who was charging at the front. Although this man was brave, his troops were still too few. It is too difficult to rely on these thousands of people to fight against the Jin's army of 100,000.
Not to mention, Guo Zhaotu's 40,000 troops are still there. Even if Guo Zhaotu sends 20,000 to attack the city, there are still 20,000 cavalry who can join the battle at any time.
Among the thousands of cavalrymen who rushed under the city wall, an equally young spear-wielding general beside the young general said to him: "Pengju, the Jin army is surrounding them, with a strength of about 30,000. Shouldn't we withdraw! Just rely on us." If the five thousand cavalry are surrounded, I'm afraid the whole army will be destroyed."
When the general named Peng Ju heard this, he looked at the Jin cavalry with a look of unwillingness on his face. He turned to look at the soldiers behind him and said quickly: "Follow me and leave the battlefield! Don't be reluctant to fight!"
Following his voice, the soldiers shouted. The 5,000 cavalrymen who had thrown the 40,000-strong army attacking the city into chaos suddenly turned into a torrent and rushed toward the right.
Their troops are limited and cannot fight against the Jin people. The only thing they can do is to constantly harass the Jin army and prevent them from putting too much pressure on the city wall. Only in this way can it be possible to force the Jin people away.
In addition to them, there were around 100,000 troops constantly harassing them. However, only his group of 5,000 cavalry could really attack effectively.
These people were all former members of Taiyuan City. After Taiyuan City was destroyed, they escaped and finally arrived in Tokyo. In the past few days, Yue Pengju had been looking for opportunities as he watched the hundreds of thousands of troops attacking the Jin army around him.
He saw that the city of Tokyo was almost destroyed by several attacks by the Jin army. He knew that the army in the city was about to lose its hold.
After all, when he was in Taiyuan City before, he knew that the long-term battle to defend the city would put pressure on the defenders in the city. If this pressure could not be released, or if there was no hope, the city would be defeated sooner or later.
Therefore, he decided to let the soldiers of Tokyo City see hope, and then he took the risk to sneak in from the flank and launched an attack on the Jin people who were attacking the city.
This tactic seems to be working. Judging from the shouts of the soldiers on the city wall, at least they can persist for a while.
But such an adventure also caused the loss of nearly three to four hundred of his more than five thousand cavalry. However, the number of casualties caused to the enemy was nearly a thousand.
The casualties were not many, but the trauma in their hearts would make the Jin troops attacking the city think about whether there would be an ambush at any time. You won't be too focused when attacking a city.
Yue Pengju ran wildly with his five thousand cavalry, and the thirty thousand cavalry behind him chased him. They seemed determined to eat Yue Pengju's five thousand cavalry.
Thirty thousand cavalry were encircling them and pursuing them non-stop. Such pursuit depended on the physical fitness of the horses on both sides and their individual riding skills.
However, fortunately, Yue Pengju and others reacted in time and opened a large enough distance. The 30,000 cavalry behind them were too many, and it was time-consuming to deploy them.
Therefore, they quickly got rid of the pursuit of thirty thousand cavalry. Disappeared into the distance. Thirty thousand Jin Army cavalry saw this scene, although they were unwilling to accept it, they finally returned to Tokyo City.
On the hillside in the distance, Yunze watched from a distance with two thousand cavalry. He had arrived dozens of miles outside Tokyo an hour ago.
However, after knowing that the Jin army had reached 120,000, and Guo Zhaotu's 40,000 were added, there was some confusion for a while. Just the two thousand cavalry under his command, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness and advanced their equipment is.
But if you really face off against 160,000 people, the final result may not even be a scumbag. If we want to solve the siege of Tokyo, we must take a long-term approach. The appearance of the Jingjun cavalry just now gave Yunze hope.
Or, eat away the Jin people bit by bit, and when the encroachment reaches a certain level, the Jin people will automatically retreat after they can't bear such losses.
What Yunze didn't expect was that he thought Tokyo City should be able to hold on, but he never expected that the Jin Army was different from the historical development of its previous life, and the number of troops sent reached 120,000.
Although it is now estimated that they may have lost more than 10,000 yuan, the loss of more than 10,000 yuan is not unacceptable to them.
Not to mention, compared with the battle losses, the number of troops lost by Jingchao has reached more than 200,000. The battle loss ratio was twenty to one. A hundred thousand golden men can definitely knock Jingjun's three to four hundred thousand to the ground and explode their hammers.
Besides, now we still need the 40,000 troops brought by Guo Zhaotu. Even if they lose several thousand people, they have not lost their combat effectiveness.
"Qianmo, wait here...I'll be back as soon as I go..." Yunze looked in the direction of the leaving cavalry and said to Su Qianmo beside him.
When Su Qianmo heard this, there was worry in her eyes. She opened her mouth and originally wanted to go with Yunze, but after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.
"Be careful, husband, go back quickly..."
Yunze responded and rode the horse king, galloping in the direction where Yue Pengju and others disappeared.
On the other side, Song Youwei was rushing here with two thousand musketeers. This time they not only brought ten new mountain cannons, but also a lot of gunpowder.
She had emptied out nearly half of the gunpowder produced by Yuncheng in the past two years. If the soldiers hadn't been unable to carry it, Yunze might have asked her to bring more.
After all, whether the situation of the war can be reversed depends on these things. Yunze currently does not have enough troops, but in terms of gunpowder, he can still fight a big battle.
Song Youwei was full of worry at this time. Although she was very tired now, she almost kept all the soldiers on the road because she was worried about Yunze.
Even though everyone was tired at this time, no one had any complaints. Everyone followed the orders and prohibitions, and military discipline was strict. This is the new army trained by Yunze.
According to Song Youwei's estimation, it should only take one day at most to arrive in Tokyo. As long as she meets Yunze, she can feel at ease.
At the same time, Yunze had caught up with the retreating Jingjun cavalry. The speed of the Horse King cannot be compared with other war horses.
Seeing Yunze chasing after them, the cavalrymen moving forward were a little surprised. Soon, someone spread the news of Yunze's pursuit to the front line.
The cavalry did not stop moving forward, but Yue Pengju and another young man wielding a gun looked at each other, turned around and came towards the back of the cavalry formation.
Soon, they saw Yunze chasing after them. The two of them stood still with guns in hand, looking coldly at Yunze who was rushing towards them, their eyes full of fighting intent.
