The next day, in the government office, the sound of booming artillery continued in the distance, shaking the whole city, and the war officially began.
In the lobby, Song Jiang was sitting on the main seat with an expressionless face. Originally, he wanted to visit the city in person to boost morale, but he was blocked by Gongsun Sheng and Chen Dong. At this moment, it was far from necessary for Song Jiang to go to the city in person to take risks. the point.
At this time, except for Song Jiang, Gongsun Sheng, and the surrounding soldiers, everyone else went up, including Yue Fei, Chen Dong, and Chai Jin.
Song Jiang listened to the shouts of killing that followed, and stood up slowly, walked outside, looked at the direction of the city gate, and sighed: "One general has made thousands of bones dry, and I don't know how many brothers will be killed or injured in this battle!! "
"Brother is kind, but the fight now is for the long-term peace in the future," Gongsun Sheng comforted.
"I once heard a saying that the Song Dynasty soldiers are experts in civil war and laymen in foreign wars, right??"
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he shook his head and said: "No, brother, except for the guards in some places, the imperial army is actually not weak, especially the Western Army commanded by Zhong Shidao. They are stationed on the border and have been fighting foreigners for a long time. Their combat effectiveness is particularly strong. Therefore, this is said, firstly, because the entire Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs. The generals did not know the soldiers, the soldiers did not know the generals, and the civil servants who led the army were always less bloody and more scholarly."
"The second reason is that the warriors of the Liao and Jin countries lived on the grasslands, fought with wild beasts, respected the strong, and were good at fighting, so their fighting power was extremely amazing. In addition, they had many famous generals and won consecutive battles. In their hearts We have developed confidence in fighting against the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and we, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, are also used to losing to them."
"I think back in the Han and Tang dynasties, they were defeated by foreign tribes, but then they worked hard to train elite soldiers, and powerful generals emerged. The tribes of the grasslands who directly attacked them bowed their heads and knelt down to welcome them!!"
"Since ancient times, an incompetent general will cause harm to the three armies. An incompetent leader will destroy the country and destroy the family!!"
Upon hearing this, Song Jiang nodded slightly and said seriously: "If we can win this battle, this situation must change in the future. We descendants of Yan and Huang have Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and immortal heroes like Tang Zong and Song Zu are born, how can we lose it?" You are so proud, you have lost your integrity!!”
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he immediately said in admiration: "Brother can definitely do it!"
"kill!!"
At this time, outside Jinan Mansion, after the roar of artillery stopped, densely packed armies formed square formations, with shield soldiers in front and archers behind, covering the siege troops, charging fiercely towards Jinan City. Charge.
"The whole army is ready." Seeing this scene, Wu Song suddenly drew his sword, and in an instant, thousands of archers stood up.
Looking at the approaching imperial army, he said coldly: "Shoot for me!!"
"Bang!!"
In an instant, arrows fell like raindrops from mid-air, causing many casualties in the imperial army. However, these casualties were already beyond their expectation. After one of the shield soldiers in the front row was killed or wounded, another person immediately took up his position. Looks extraordinarily heroic.
In less than a cup of tea, the army had already arrived under the city wall and climbed up the ladder.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Gou, who was in the rear army, suddenly showed a hint of excitement, but when he turned around to look, he saw that except Tong Guan, the other generals also had solemn faces.
"It seems that Jingdong thieves are nothing more than that," Zhao Gou looked at Guan Sheng with some curiosity.
When Guan Sheng heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, since ancient times, we have been fighting in one go, then weakened again, and finally exhausted. At this time, our army is eager to make contributions. It is the time when morale is the highest, so the action will seem to be very fast, but It’s impossible to conquer the city at once!!”
After Zhao Gou's expression changed, he immediately looked around and saw that the army was indeed under the city and suffered a terrible blockage. The soldiers who climbed up fell down wailing and falling. Rolling stones and huge trees kept falling. Many soldiers' The death state was extremely ferocious, and his heart trembled when he saw it.
"Your Highness, this is war, and it has just begun." After Tong Guan next to him said with a normal expression, the battle became more intense, with more and more casualties on both sides. Life seemed not worth mentioning at this moment.
As time passed little by little, Zhao Gou became a little anxious looking at the army that was still unable to break through the city. At this time, Tong Guan glanced at the time and waved, "Send the order to retreat!!"
"What!!" Zhao Gou was stunned.
"Your Highness, today is just a test. Now the defenders have gradually gained the upper hand. If we continue to fight, there will only be innocent casualties. Since ancient times, siege battles have been a competition of endurance unless the numbers and combat power are too large. Now the people of Songjiang are in Jinan , the morale of the Jinan thieves will not decline easily!!"
"Send the order, the soldiers are lucky to have more meat tonight!!"
"yes!!"
When Tong Guan led the people to turn around, Zhao Gou looked at the back, suddenly thoughtful. Everyone often said that Tong Guan and Cai Jing were the treacherous ministers, but those who can become treacherous ministers often have their own abilities, and Although everyone praised him, he was really at a loss in front of the battle at this moment.
It is so easy to talk about war on paper, but everything is difficult to do in battle.
As the imperial army began to retreat in an orderly manner, Wu Song frowned at the top of the city.
"It seems that our Privy Councilor also has some abilities," Chen Dong next to him said seriously.
Wu Song nodded, turned around and said: "Quickly count the number of casualties, and treat the seriously injured immediately!!"
"yes"
On the second day, Tong Guan seemed to be more serious. He mobilized 30,000 troops to attack Jinan Mansion at once. Many fierce generals also took action. Although Wu Song and others still held on tenaciously, they did suffer more than 2,000 casualties.
As the third day came, Tong Guan's offensive became more fierce. On several occasions, he was even directly attacked on the city. The gap in the strength of the two armies was also officially seen.
On this day and night, Song Jiang held a secret document sent from Jingdong Mansion and handed it to Gongsun Sheng next to him, "Qingzhi and the others are ready."
"Brother, I think it's time to take action," Gongsun Sheng said after looking at it, cupping his fists.
"Okay, don't keep Tong Gong waiting in a hurry. Doesn't he just want everyone to protect me, Song Jiang?? Then it will be as he wishes." Song Jiang waved his hand solemnly.
"yes!!"
"Brother!" After a loud shout, Song Jiang turned his head and looked with a hint of surprise on his face. He saw Li Kui, Li Gun, Mu Heng and more than a dozen people appearing in front of him.
"Iron Bull" Song Jiang said unexpectedly.
"Brother, are you okay?" Li Kui said with a worried look.
Song Jiang looked at it and frowned: "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to be under Qing's command?"
"There is no shortage of us over there, but my brother is here alone. I really can't worry about it, so I specially begged Brother Qingzhi, and he agreed." Li Kui took out a letter and said.
After Song Jiang took it and looked at it, looking at the concerned eyes, he immediately sighed and patted Li Kui on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Good brother!!"
The cruel nature of murdering people and setting fires does have a sense of loyalty.
Li Kui went too far in many things, but Song Jiang was truly loyal to him.
"With your Blood Tiger Army here, I have nothing to worry about," Song Jiang said seriously.
"Thank you, brother!!" Li Kui said happily.
