Zhang Yong roared, and the most elite soldiers and horses in Luoyang City finally took action.
The military system of the Song Dynasty was a recruitment system, but this was not started by the Song Dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty, this formal recruitment system had already begun.
However, this system is also not an advanced system, because if we say the starting point of the military recruitment system, it should be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Zuo Zhuan" in the 21st year of Duke Xiang: "The Duke of Qi Zhuang is a brave lord."
This is the earliest recruitment system. Of course, he also has another name, called martial arts warrior!
The so-called martial arts means that the Qi State recruits people and conducts strict training. After killing the enemy, they will be given "rich" rewards, which will make them extremely crazy and brave.
But this thing... the final result is very bad.
Not only did Le Yi lead the coalition forces to almost destroy Qi, but even Xunzi also believed that the martial arts of Qi could not be compared with the soldiers of Wei, and the soldiers of Wei could not match the warriors of Qin.
Because this is a system problem.
The martial arts warriors of Qi State risked their lives in fighting and killed one enemy, but the reward they received was only eight taels, and there was no reward.
When the people of Qi State and the people living there were very poor, these eight taels of gold were really a life-saving thing, enough to exchange for a lot of money and food.
But slowly, the State of Qi began to continuously get rich by relying on the national policies established by Guan Zhong, and the people also became rich. These eight taels... To be honest, they didn't think much of them.
So they slowly became the "soldiers of national subjugation".
The Qin army Shang Yang's 20th-level military merit system was based on the system.
It can be said that this kind of system can only win continuously but not lose continuously. Even if it is not changed in time in the later period, a huge problem will arise.
For example, the country is subjugated...
Therefore, in troubled times, Qin State became strong because of its system, and Qi State entered the threshold of being strong because of its system.
As for Wei Wuzu, that's a BUG, purely a result of training.
After understanding these things, what Zhao Huan changed was not only the system of Zhao and Song, because Zhao and Song were not suitable for the system of Qin, and they were not suitable for the system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Under the combination of the recruitment system and the government army system, he took out the training methods of Wei soldiers and made reductions to adapt to the large army.
After that, Qi's rewards and Qin's promotion channels continued.
However, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight. The millions of soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty and the 800,000 Forbidden Army instructors in Water Margin are really not just bragging.
Even after repeated battle losses and selections, the Song Dynasty counted hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various places and those stationed in the city.
If we directly send the reform method there, this will cause big problems, and if there are other problems, there is no way to change them immediately.
Therefore, as an experiment, Zhao Huan has screened out all the elite and extremely clever beings in each army over the years and added them to the Imperial City Division's guards.
A personal guard army of ten thousand people was formed, which was also the main force of the Imperial City Division to guard Luoyang.
At the same time, they were used to experiment with the extent of training. The final result was that the extent of their training was three points worse than that of the standing armies of various generals.
If there were no famous generals to guard them, they could guard one side independently. It was precisely because of their existence that Zhao Huan dared not to leave elite soldiers in Luoyang.
Because he had already experienced the capital being breached once, he believed that the Imperial City Division would prevent the second occurrence.
Now under Zhang Yong's roar, the soldiers and horses of the Imperial City Division roared in unison and then launched a charge.
The first thing to appear was the most iconic arrow rain of the Song Dynasty.
But this time, the crazy arrow rain failed to accomplish anything.
After the Jin people captured the city gate, they killed all the Song soldiers who were originally stationed at the city gate, and then carried their corpses with spears on their heads and in front of them to serve as shields.
The strong armor of the Song Dynasty was not much worse than the defensive power of the shield.
Coupled with the corpse blocking it, this is no worse than a shield.
With the human shield fixed above his head, the Jin man was able to withstand the rain of arrows from the Song army, and at the same time, he pressed forward step by step and continued to charge towards the Song army.
Zhang Yong didn't have any worries after seeing this scene.
If he really relied on his commanding ability to fight, ten Zhang Yong together would not be a match for Nian Han, but Zhang Yong was not a fool either.
He understands where his advantage lies now. The armor of the soldiers under his command is more sophisticated, the soldiers are more brave, and they are even people who wait for work.
No need to talk about command, just rush and kill!
After Zhang Yong rushed all the way, all the troops rushed into the city gate hole. After seeing the situation, he immediately ordered the Jin people to divide into three echelons and attack alternately.
During the alternation, under Na Nianhan's command, many of Zhang Yong's soldiers and horses from the Imperial City were killed, and there was even a faint momentum of suppression.
At this time, Zhao Ding, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at Zhao Bocong beside him and couldn't help but sigh.
"You guys are really a genius... But now that the situation has reached this point, what are your plans?"
Zhao Ding's words made Zhao Bocong on the side shake his head slightly.
"Now our army is strong and powerful, with many soldiers and horses, and its momentum is like a rainbow. Why do we need to take care of it?"
"But this has not been possible for a long time..."
"Wouldn't it be a joke if Nianhan, a famous general in the world, could easily break through? It's not impossible for him to defeat Nianhan's army with his Zhang Yong, but it's just not that easy."
After Zhao Bocong finished speaking, he waved his hand again.
"Carry the things up and tell them that His Highness is behind them, and that the Imperial City Secretary is a member of the official family. No matter what, the officials and His Highness trust them!"
After saying that, a famous soldier rushed over carrying a large box. The box made a dull sound when it was placed on the ground.
Several strong men raised their feet and kicked these heavy boxes to the ground, immediately revealing the money, silk and jewelry inside.
"Your Highness is with you. The Imperial City Division is the official's family and the army. Today, Your Highness has issued an order. If the battle is won, everyone will be rewarded generously. The family will be rewarded with fields and ridges, and the soldiers will be rewarded with money and silk.
The honor and disgrace of your children rests with you, kill the enemy! "
There was no unnecessary nonsense, and no overstepping of authority. Zhao Bocong fulfilled his promise to Zhang Yong and completely handed over the battlefield to him.
Even if he was killed on the spot, he would not say a word.
Under this situation, Zhang Yong did not betray his trust, although he was unable to open up the situation for a long time, and even allowed the Jin people to almost completely take away the control of the city gate.
But on the line of defense entering the city, he held on to the end to prevent Nianhan from succeeding!
Unlike Zhang Yong who fought hard, the Jin general Nianhan on the other side had an increasingly serious look on his face.
Looking at the endless soldiers of the Imperial City Division, although they looked quite majestic, only they themselves knew their problems.
A surprise night attack is a matter of surprise and morale.
Now that the opponent has been prepared for a long time, the opportunity has been lost. If the confrontation continues, it will be fine if they invade Luoyang City and burn, kill and loot.
But like now, the fighting is going on endlessly in the city gate cave, and they are being dragged here.
It's just that the time is short now, but when the time is a little longer, Nianhan can clearly feel that his soldiers have begun to lose their strength.
Especially their morale has become increasingly low.
"This Luoyang...this Song Dynasty..." Nianhan, who was also at the rear of the army, couldn't help but murmur to himself. Looking at the battle in front of him, he even felt helpless.
"Charge and kill!" Nianhan didn't use any special methods, nor did he come up with any surprises. He just waved his sword in his hand and kept roaring at the soldiers in front, asking them to keep charging out.
I hope to break through the Song Army's defense and gain a glimmer of hope for myself.
But... God wouldn't give him this chance.
"Shield formation, erect shield!"
"The army stops and defends!"
"Come forward with the spear and stab!"
"The giant ax comes out and chops!"
Amid the roars, Zhang Yong also began to guard the city gate, fighting to the death.
Zhao Ding felt a little at peace when he saw the battlefield gradually falling into complete anxiety. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Bocong who was wearing a veneer and couldn't see any trace of panic in his body. He was also full of admiration.
"You have so much confidence. Are you really not afraid of Nianhan's back-up?"
"He has already reached this point. How can he have any backup plan? Do you really think he knows how to spread the beans into an army?" Zhao Bocong sneered, looking at the blood that had flowed to his feet, with a look in his eyes. A complex emotion.
"Today, Luoyang is destined to be filled with blood..."
The battle at the North Gate came to an end, and as bait, the Jin people were also real dead soldiers.
Nianhan told everyone before taking action that they had no way out. They had killed many Song people over the years. Not to mention, before this war, Nianhan still led them to massacre tens of thousands of people around Luoyang. Countless people.
The lives of these Song people were telling these Jin soldiers that if they fell into the hands of the Song people, they would probably be worse off than dead.
Under this situation, even if they have completely entered a desperate situation, they still fight hard until they die!
Under this desperate counterattack, the casualties of the Song Army were also frightening. Liu Xi looked at the mess in the place, looked at the devastation, and finally sighed.
"Send the order and the army will continue to charge. They will all rush into the east gate and kill Nianhan!"
At this time, Nianhan looked at the soldiers who had been completely blocked at the city gate, and finally thought of evacuating...
But at this moment, countless jars filled with kerosene were thrown down from the city wall, followed by flaming arrows shooting down, igniting the kerosene all over the ground.
"Kill the enemy, leaving no one behind!"
