"Come here, demolish all the houses near the city gate, repair the city wall with bricks and stones, and put the beams and other items in the warehouse to use as rolling logs!"
"Dig this place up and put iron dysentery in it!"
"Unblock the moat, hurry up, hurry up!"
"Where are the antlers of the Juma? Put them here, don't pile them up together, keep them at a distance so that the Jin cavalry can't charge!"
"Don't you know how to dig a horse pit? Are you digging it so deep to bury yourself alive?
It's enough to be able to put down the horse's hooves when you're stuck in a horse pit. What's this thing that you've been working on for a long time! "
"And you, I asked you to clean up the channel of the moat. I didn't let you dig around. The moat is already a lot weaker. If you keep digging around and the water is gone, are you going to carry the water yourself?"
Zongze, who was beginning to enter the state, was no longer the kind and seductive person he had been before. At this time, Zongze was full of rigidity.
He stretched out his hand and kept pointing, and at the same time he kept telling them what to do, instructing them to repair the city wall, tear down the walls, and reserve rolling stones and wood.
At the same time, with Cizhou City as the center, the battlefield will be cleaned inside and outside. This will be the center of the battle in the future. If these corpses are not dealt with in time, it will easily cause troubles such as plague.
At the same time, he gathered all the things he could use. In addition to inferior war horses, there were also weapons, armor, bows and arrows.
These things that the Jin people looked down upon at the beginning are all what they need.
Pieces of armor were put on the militiamen carefully selected by Zongze. At this time, even if they were well-dressed, they were still not qualified soldiers, or even soldiers.
Because they don't even know the most basic killing skills, and they don't even know how to use the most basic bows and crossbows.
But this is not a problem. From scratch, Zongze will accumulate strength bit by bit.
"The Song Dynasty has been weak for a long time. Strong medicines are most taboo for severe cases. This situation is most suitable!" Zongze said softly to an old soldier who accompanied him.
Just now, after seeing this busy scene, the veterans did not become happy because they were so busy and excited. On the contrary, they became more worried after they calmed down.
“General, you have already won a small victory now, so why bother to continue.
Cizhou was already in ruins. These people were just a group of common people after all. They had not received any training. Even if they were given armor and weapons, they would not be able to use them at all.
When the Jin soldiers come again, the dangers we face are far beyond what we could compare to before. It is better to leave. Now we have such a record, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. "
These words were said by the old soldier, but Zongze could clearly see that the old soldiers who followed him probably had the same thoughts.
That's why Zongze said that, but they didn't seem to buy it.
"Why should the general answer the wrong question? Whether the Song Dynasty is weak or strong, what does it have to do with us?
The general is a sensible man, but he is also a confused man.
We all admire the general's ability and ability. In this regard, none of us can compare with the general.
But we have all lived in this army for decades. Over the years, we have not seen much except the dead.
I don’t have much other experience, but I have experienced a lot of defeats.
There are many people as ambitious as you, but so what?
In the end, it didn't end badly. Some were defeated by the Liao and Jin people, and some... the general understood. "
The old soldier did not dare to say the last words, but Zongze understood that he wanted to say that the court was fighting life and death from the front, and was constantly pulling from the rear.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
"I know what you are worried about, but I only have one thing in mind!"
"General, please speak."
"Do your best and obey fate!"
After Zongze finished speaking, he showed that smile and walked quickly towards the busy city, no longer caring about the old soldiers who still looked worried.
"Zhang Da!" At this time, another old soldier came to the old soldier who had been talking to Zongze and asked softly, "How about I run away first?"
"Run... where are you running to?" Zhang Da suddenly shook his head helplessly, "If we leave here, where will we go?"
"Where to go?" The man sneered, "This world is so big, you can't go anywhere. When the war is over, we will come out when we come out..."
"Is the fight over?" After Zhang Da said this, he suddenly looked up at the sky, which had slowly become gloomy. "Do your best and obey fate!"
After saying that, Zhang Da also followed Zongze towards Cizhou City, leaving behind a group of old soldiers looking at each other.
"madman...."
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the disappearance of the nine Jin scouts could not be concealed. If it were not because Cizhou had just been conquered by the Jin, they did not expect that the place would be able to regain its strength so quickly.
I'm afraid they will find it earlier.
Seeing the nine heads on the city wall, the Jin people knew who dared to resist them. Although the Cizhou City wall had been repaired at this time, there were enough soldiers fighting on top of the city.
But this still does not make the Jin people feel the slightest fear.
"Who is in charge on the city wall? How dare you kill me, the Golden Warrior? You are not afraid of death!"
"I, Zongze, is the magistrate of Cizhou personally appointed by His Majesty. He came to Cizhou today on the emperor's order to kill you all and drive them away from the Song Dynasty!"
Hearing Zongze's unbridled words, the Jin commander couldn't help but became furious. He immediately turned back to the army and began to raise his arms and shout.
"Break the city and massacre it!"
"Avenge Atuna and the others!"
"Kill all the chickens and dogs in this Cizhou City and leave no one behind!"
"I was too kind to them last time and made them wonder who is the master here."
The roars represent the anger of many Jin people, and also represent their purpose, which is to break down the door, massacre the city, and vent their anger.
"Kill!" With a cry, the Jin army rode directly towards Cizhou City to kill again. This was their invincible ability.
Since they crossed the Yellow River, as long as they launched an aggressive attack, the Song people on the city wall would be so scared that they would not even know how to shoot arrows.
And when they relied on the simple ladder to admire the city wall, and even directly broke through the city gate, they were left to run away frantically, and to be chased and killed by themselves.
They firmly believe that this time will be no exception.
Zongze on the city wall looked at the golden men who were charging towards them. Their momentum was like a rainbow. In terms of a single round of momentum, these people could really get away from them no matter how far away they were.
But conquering a city requires more than just momentum!
"Don't be anxious, don't panic!" Zongze held down the soldier who couldn't help but want to shoot the arrow, "Wait for this old man's order to let you release the arrow, and then release the arrow!"
"Gudong~" The sound of swallowing saliva resounded here, and no one could muster up their courage when facing this situation.
"Remember, this distance is three hundred steps, don't panic!"
"This is two hundred steps. You can use the car throw at this time, but we don't have it now."
"This is one hundred and fifty steps. If I have a bed crossbow, I can prepare it, but don't do it."
"It's a hundred steps from here. We can shoot arrows later. Within a hundred steps there will be good damage from top to bottom, but not now!"
"Fifty steps...shoot the arrow!"
With a loud roar, Zongze's palms swung down violently, and at the same time, countless arrows were released directly.
The arrows were not really accurate when they fell, but there was a huge advantage, that is, the Jin army underestimated the soldiers on the city wall and gathered together so that their arrows actually killed many people.
At this time, Zongze also started on-site teaching.
"A good archer can kill people across a hundred steps, and is said to be able to kill people with a hundred steps.
If you are from a high place, you can reach one hundred and twenty steps, but this distance is not suitable for you.
Because now you don't have the ability to shoot through a Yang with a hundred steps, and you don't have enough strength. You can only shoot thirty to fifty steps at most, and there are still three people who just shot away because they were too nervous.
Therefore, a distance of fifty steps is the best for you, as it can effectively kill the golden man.
If you have a chance to get a lathe, crossbow or other items in the future, I will teach you how..."
"General, they are coming!" A soldier couldn't help interrupting Zongze's preaching. The Jin army had already rushed to their city.
"Why panic!" It was Zhang Da who spoke this time. He lifted a piece of wood from the ground and threw it directly towards the bottom of the city, smashing the two golden men who rushed over and causing their brains to burst.
"These guys are so arrogant that they don't even have the basic skills to rush through the wells. They want to break the city with just a few ladders. It's a joke."
At this time, Zhang Da still didn't agree that Zongze could win, but that didn't stop him from fighting hard.
Because he wants to live.
"He's right, you don't need to panic!" Zongze also calmed everyone's panic at this time, "If you don't seize this good opportunity, shoot out the arrow in your hand and kill them here!"
"Kill!" A loud roar erupted from the city wall at the same time. Arrows were shot out from the hands of the soldiers. They watched as a golden man who gathered under the city and violently hit the city gate was shot dead on the spot. .
Their mentality is also slowly changing.
At this time, the Jin people discovered that Cizhou City was different from before and knew that they could no longer underestimate them.
The few ladders were immediately put up. At the same time, a golden soldier began to bend his bow and aim at the city wall. Although they were shooting upwards, the golden soldiers were more brave and powerful.
The most important thing is that their accuracy is much better than these people.
One after another, deadly arrows took away a famous soldier, causing them to scream and fall to the top of the city or die directly.
After seeing this scene, countless people panicked, and countless people were scared to the point of wanting to retreat. This was their instinct, and a good general wanted to stop their instinct.
"Here comes the bow!" Zongze shouted, took the long bow from a soldier, then bent the bow and set an arrow, and fired three arrows in a row, taking away three lives.
At the same time, he yelled.
"Kill with pleasure!" Zongze's white hair was now a few heavier, and his age seemed more serious, but he was still tall and straight.
"I ask you for the last time today, are you afraid of death?"
This time, there was no majestic reply from Qi Yu, and no one even dared to speak. In this Shura field, they were still afraid after all.
"If you are afraid of death, you can escape now. After they break the city, you can hide in a corner where you think no one will find you, and wait for them to leave, or wait for your own death.
If you are afraid of death, then stand in front. Only by repelling these people can we survive!
They have less than thirty ladders, and the old man at the city gate has been blocked. The only way to break through the city is to attack the city wall.
If you fight hard now, there is still a way to survive. If you retreat now, you will die!
Wait, are you still afraid of death? "
In the last sentence, Zongze not only used almost all his strength, but also waved his horse with his backhand, killing the fastest golden man on the spot.
Let his headless body fall down the city walls.
At this moment, another "soldier" finally couldn't help but yelled, "A certain family is afraid of death, and a certain family doesn't want to die!"
As he spoke, he rushed towards the distance. He didn't want to escape, he wanted to rush over to block the golden soldiers from climbing. There were already golden soldiers on the ladder there.
"Ah!" He yelled frantically, waving his spear in an unruly manner, and kept slapping the ladder in front of him, as if he wanted to push it down.
But no matter how hard he tried, the ladder remained motionless.
"Don't be so panicked, you can't push it!" At the critical moment, he stretched out his arms, pressed his shoulders, and at the same time shot towards the golden man who had just emerged, making the golden man shrink back again. .
"Aim at the top of the ladder. As soon as they show their heads, shoot them immediately and kill them!"
"Don't be afraid of being shot. Death is normal in a place like this. Sometimes you will feel that you are much luckier if you die here than in their hands after the city is broken."
Just when Zhang Da finished speaking, an arrow flew directly from the city and penetrated Zhang Da's throat.
"Uh..." Zhang Da, who had tried every means to save his life for most of his life, probably never dreamed that he would die like this. He was clearly hiding behind Zong Ze just now.
"It's...ridiculous!" This was Zhang Da's last thought. He stared at the young man and pointed his finger at the golden man who appeared again. He was speechless but he was able to express his thoughts. Very clear.
"Take my place and kill him!"
"Ah~" roared again, and the man stabbed him directly with a spear. Unfortunately, the spear still failed, and at the same time, an arrow flew through his chest again.
Feeling the rapid loss of strength, he knew that he had no way to survive, but looking at the golden man who appeared again, he only felt very sad.
Why can't you just hold on and let yourself kill him...
"Kill!" At the last moment when he was dying, he heard a cry of killing coming from his side. The last sight of this young man was that the golden man's face turned very ugly when he showed his head again.
The offensive and defensive battle in Cizhou City officially began at this time.
The battle report here was also transmitted to Kaifeng as quickly as possible and handed over to Zhao Huan who was waiting hard.
"Well, what a great Zongze, he is really a general of humerus!" At this time, Zhao Huan really felt extremely excited. He saw that his general had lived up to his hopes.
Zongze, who almost went alone, was able to achieve such a result, which simply exceeded his expectations.
But his excitement had just begun, and the bad news soon followed.
"Your Majesty!" Tong Guan came to Zhao Huan to report, "The Imperial City Secretary just came to report that Your Majesty, Daojun, is going south to burn incense and pray for me, the Song Dynasty!"
After Tong Guan finished speaking, Zhao Huan, who had been quite happy just now, suddenly became pale.
"Burn incense?"
"yes!"
"Ha... Got it!" Zhao Huan didn't say anything more, just nodded silently, "Please step aside. It's a great honor for me, the Song Dynasty, that my father has such an idea."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Tong Guan saw that this person didn't want to say more, and he was very sensible. After finishing speaking, he bowed and retreated.
After Tong Guan slowly retreated, Zhao Huan punched the table and his face became extremely gloomy.
"Old guy, you really know how to cause trouble!"
“Historically, you bastard ran directly to Bozhou in the name of burning incense, and then ran to Zhenjiang again to hide.
If you still want to do this now, that's fine if you just want to hide, but if you want to use this opportunity to do something.
Don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust! "
Zhao Huan couldn't help the anger in his heart at this time. Among the several reasons for Jingkang's support, in addition to the feedback from the superiors, the biggest one was that this group of people from the old Zhao family performed one after another.
First, the father gave up his throne and handed it over to his son, whom he didn't like.
He then hid in Zhenjiang to keep himself safe, but instead of being honest, he chose to remotely control the court!
Fighting for power and gain with himself, relying on the fact that he has no confidants and trusted officials, he finally competes with his father for better power.
Zhao Huan in history made the second wrong thing.
He sent his arrogant son and his arrogant minister to the front line and appointed him as the general marshal of the army. As a result, these two bastards sold him out when they came up.
"Hey, what is supposed to come will eventually come. I am here to watch and see how capable you are. This time I am going to officially compete with you."
While talking to himself, the sky gradually became gloomier, and it seemed that dark clouds were covering the sky above the hall and the Song Dynasty.
"Rumble~" Thunder roared, and thunder began to explode on Kaifeng City, as if to announce that a storm was finally coming in the Song Dynasty.
