Although Zhao Huan felt that this strategy was familiar, he still did not object out of trust in Zhongshi Dao.
Compared with Nie Song, the young minister of Dali Temple who didn't know what to do, Zhong Shidao was a real famous general in the Song Dynasty. Now even Yue Fei Zongze had to listen to the instructions honestly in front of him.
This is not the qualifications that come with age, this is the prestige that Zhong Shidao has gained through battle after battle for so many years.
Outside Taiyuan City on Hedong Road, this time the Jin army arrived again, and the leader was the famous general of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zonghan, the humerus minister of Wanyan Aguda.
He also has a more familiar name, Nianhan!
At this time, Nianhan had already led his army to the city. Facing this city that had been conquered once, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Song troops in the city, listen, I am Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the left wing under Emperor Wanyan Sheng of the Great Jin Dynasty. You are just guys who narrowly escaped under my great golden sword. Why should you seek death again?
Open the city gate quickly and let us go to Kaifeng and ask your emperor of the Song Dynasty to ask for annual coins as offerings. From now on, the two sides will stop fighting. Why not! "
At this time, Taiyuan City was indeed as miserable as Wanyan Zonghan said. There were not many soldiers and horses on the city wall, or they were hardly decent.
At that time, the Jin people used 20,000 troops to attack the Liao Kingdom's 700,000 troops, and finally returned with a great victory.
Now there are no less than 60,000 troops under the Taiyuan City alone. They are all high-spirited. They look at the dilapidated walls of Taiyuan City and reveal a ferocious smile, as if he can overthrow the Taiyuan City in the next moment.
There are only 10,000 soldiers in the city. The Song army is called the weakest army in the world. He only has 10,000 soldiers.
With such a comparison of numbers, no one would think that the Song army in the city could stop them. There was only one question in their minds.
That's when the guards of Taiyuan City escaped.
"Golden Dog, don't talk nonsense here!" Suddenly a roar appeared in Taiyuan City, "You guys are talking nonsense about attacking the slopes of Taiyuan City, but which one of you has invaded my Taiyuan City!"
This stern roar directly made Wanyan Zonghan's face turned pale, and even made the face of the Jin soldier become less complacent.
"You rat who dare not leave the city, your Taiyuan City can't even serve as the gateway to Hedong Road, so what qualifications do you have to bark here!"
"Then if you have the guts, just attack first!"
The voice appeared again, causing Wanyan Zonghan's face to turn livid instantly.
"Attack the city! Today we have conquered Taiyuan in an unparalleled manner and massacred everyone in the city!"
"Kill!" With a neat roar, the Jin army rushed over again. Countless people resisted the ladder, pushed the shaft and rushed the car. Countless boulders were flying in the sky, and the crossbowmen They were also shooting at each other with the Song troops on the city wall.
The entire battlefield instantly became intense.
At this time, there were only two people in charge in Taiyuan City. Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, was once the deputy general manager under Tong Guan, and Wang Zhen, the guard general of Taiyuan City.
And the number of real combatable soldiers is not ten thousand, most of them are just bluffers.
The only thing that Taiyuan City can really rely on is the three thousand victorious troops under Wang Hui's command!
The remaining thousands of people were just the young men in the city. When the Jin Kingdom attacked Taiyuan for the first time, Tong Guan had already lost all the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, and even took away the other generals and fled.
Today, there are only two people in Taiyuan City: Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, and Wang Zhen, the general.
"The golden man has already begun to cling to him. The young man retreats, and I will leave the rest to Shengjie's army!" Wang Xun immediately asked Zhang Xiaochun to retreat with the young man after the golden man approached, while he went forward with his elite troops. Fight with the golden man.
Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, didn't waste any words. He immediately said hello and took the extra young men to retreat, so as not to cause trouble to Shengjie's army and Wang Zhen.
The fighting entered a fierce stage as soon as it started. Wanyan Zonghan's general Han Qixian personally led the army to charge forward, and the entire Taiyuan City was instantly enveloped in the tragic sound of fighting.
Wang Zhen slashed a golden soldier who rushed up to him. At the same time, another golden soldier had sneaked up and stabbed him in the left rib.
Just when Wang Zhen was about to be killed by the opponent's sword, a Shengjie soldier suddenly jumped out, kicked the golden man to the ground, and chopped off his head with a knife.
"Golden Dog, this is Taiyuan City, it's not for you to be arrogant..."
The Song army just wanted to angrily yell at the many Jin men, but before he could finish his words, he was shot in the throat by a cold arrow. Then a Jin man rushed over and pierced his heart with a spear.
Just when he was about to die, a force of strength appeared from nowhere and roared towards him. He hugged the golden man in front of him and rolled out of the city wall.
The spear penetrated him completely, and blood sprayed to the top of the city. He didn't even bother to scream.
If the tragedy in Cizhou City is a struggle for survival in a desperate situation, then the fighting in Taiyuan City is that everyone has given up on survival and just wants a place to die in battle.
The Song Dynasty has been in decline for many years. Everyone feels that the Song Dynasty has completely lost its bones and blood, but Taiyuan City will tell the world from this moment on.
The spirit of the Song people still stands in this land.
Looking at the tragic Taiyuan City, Wanyan Zonghan frowned again. This was his second time to attack Taiyuan City.
In fact, Wang Zhen on the city wall was right. Everyone in the world must admit that Hedong Road was lost and Taiyuan was lost.
Because today's Taiyuan cannot block their way at all, and now the entire Hedong Road has become a battlefield with wind leakage from all sides. The Jin's iron cavalry is running rampant on Hedong Road. This gateway, Taiyuan, can indeed be regarded as lost.
But so far, none of them has been able to break through the city wall and enter the city of Taiyuan...
"Taiyuan City, why are you doing this?"
Wanyan Zonghan finally showed a sneer, and then looked at his confidant Gao Qingyi who also walked to his side and asked softly.
"How's it going with Yin Shu?"
"Reporting back to the Commander-in-Chief, General Yin Shu has led five thousand elite cavalry to Kaifeng from the small road. At the same time, Wanyan Gao and Lou Su each led ten thousand elite troops to bypass Taiyuan and enter Hedong Road.
I guarantee that the boy from the Zhe family and the other Song generals on Hedong Road will do nothing bad. "
Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, then turned around and left, leaving the battlefield here to his confidant Han Qixian.
But in the end, he turned his head and looked at the large banner with Song characters standing on the city wall, and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"Three days, within three days, a certain family must take down this big flag!"
The news that the Jin people were once again attacking Taiyuan has spread completely on Hedong Road. As one of the generals of Hedong Road, Zhe Keqiu Zhe Keda, the leader of the Zhe family's generation, also gathered together.
"Brother, now you are the head of the Zhe family, and you are also the training envoy of Rongzhou and the magistrate of Rongzhou. You must not make any mistakes. This time, I asked my brother to go to the rescue."
Zhe Keqiu immediately made the plan without waiting for his eldest brother Zhe Keda to say anything. Among the men of the Zhe family, one man was always left behind while the others went out to fight to the death.
"Since I am the eldest brother and the head of the Zhe family, I naturally have to take the lead in the expedition. You don't have to talk nonsense."
In the same way, Zhe Keda would not let his younger brother do this fatal thing. If he had to do it, he would have to wait until he died.
"Come here, order all the troops and horses!" Zhe Keda didn't wait for his brother to say anything more, and immediately turned over and prepared to order all the troops and horses to go to the rescue.
Just when he turned around and shouted, Zhe Keqiu pulled out the short stick that had been prepared from his waist and hit his elder brother Zhe Keda's neck with the stick.
Looking at Zhe Keda, whose eyes turned white and fainted, Zhe Keqiu carefully placed him on the main seat, then walked to him and knelt down in front of him.
"Brother, in this family, someone has to stay. Let's keep eldest brother today."
Zhe Keqiu didn't care whether this sentence could reach Zhe Keda's ears in the end. After saying it, he kowtowed to Zhe Keda three times, then stood up and walked out of the big tent.
At the same time, he looked at the messenger who came over and continued the order just now.
"Assemble 20,000 soldiers and horses and follow me to rescue Taiyuan until death!"
In Baimajin, Huazhou, He Guan, who had received the imperial edict and orders, took a deep breath and looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him.
"This is Baimajin, a fortress in the east of Hedong. Today, His Majesty has issued an order to defend Baimajin and not let a single Jin army pass through. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"
"Fight to the end and never retreat!"
He was Zhao Huan's third back-up man. He had told his boss Bai Shizhong more than once that at this time, his troops were incompetent and had no ability to fight the Jin people.
Many people in the Song Dynasty laughed at him for being a brave general who was afraid of war and death.
Later, just when he was about to take office in Baimajin, Zhao Huan ascended the throne and he was able to escape. However, when Zhao Huan finally took power, he found him in front of him again.
This time the order was still Baima Jin's, and he still stood firm. He was still facing the Jin man who he thought was unstoppable.
But this time Zhao Huan's words were no longer a forced order.
"I know that the general is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I also know the general's loyalty and bravery to the Song Dynasty. Today I have only one word to tell the general that the general of the imperial army in Kaifeng City is chosen at will.
I want the general to hold Baimajin and wait for my counterattack.
Don't ask me how long I will stay, I don't know, but I believe in the general! "
This was the only thing Zhao Huan said to He Guan, and it was also the reason why He Guan came here, to hold on to Baima Jin and wait for the counterattack, or die here.
"I am not a coward to defend Baimajin!" He Guan only had this sentence in his heart at this moment.
At this time, Zhao Huan also looked in the direction of Bai Majin and let out a sigh of relief.
In history, He Guan was implicated and defeated in Baimajin because his teammate Liang Fangping escaped without fighting. In the end, he fought to the death on the west city wall where he was stationed to prove himself.
Facts prove that he is unwilling to fight just because he knows he can't win, not because he doesn't dare to fight.
After fighting for three days and nights, he was finally chopped into pieces by the Jin people without taking a step back. This was He Guan, the general of the Song Dynasty.
And the other protagonist in this matter...
"Send an order to have Liang Fangping stationed at Moutuogang to protect our Song Dynasty Horse Farm. There must be no mistakes!"
Zhao Huan's order was conveyed, and Liang Fangping, who had always been successful in seizing power because of Zhao Huan, also breathed a sigh of relief and led his troops to Moutuogang, his position, as quickly as possible.
"This is a safe place. Our family can finally have a good rest. Someone, please bring us some food and wine. We need to have a good rest!"
