Seeing that Zhong Qian suddenly appeared here, and also rescued Tong Wenbo from his own hands, Hu Zhuge's heart couldn't help but hesitated. He hurriedly put away his sword, bowed his hand to Zhong Qian, and said, "General Zhong Qian, you this is… "

Zhong Qian also slowly took the single-handedly into his waist. He first glanced at Tong Wenbo, who was always smiling next to him, and then looked at Hu Zhuge coldly and said, "Master Hu. The new Gao Jiajun has all been taken down. As for this boy's knowledge of the blog, your majesty is destined to ensure his safety."

As soon as he heard the words behind Zhong Qian, Hu Zhuge became anxious. Tong Wenbo was so powerful, how could Hu Zhuge know? If Tong Wenbo's life is left, Hu Zhuge's future plans may not be able to proceed smoothly.

Hu Zhuge immediately persuaded: "Zhong Qian General. Tong Wenbo is a scheming person, and he cannot stay. Moreover, this person is loyal to Gao An, even if Gao An dies, he will be dedicated to regaining Gao An’s foundation, for your majesty. The hegemony, the general will think that if this person be beheaded immediately, there will be no future troubles!"

"Haha." Just as Hu Zhuge had just finished speaking, Tong Wenbo over there suddenly laughed, turned around, bowed his hand to Zhong Qian, and smiled: "This general, boy Tong Wenbo, wish Down to Da Song."

"Huh?" Tong Wenbo's words made Hu Zhuge stupid. He couldn't believe that Tong Wenbo, who had always been loyal to Gao An, would automatically surrender? Hu Zhuge stared at Tong Wenbo blankly, but he just happened to see Tong Wenbo turning his head with a joke on his face. Hu Zhuge suddenly understood that Tong Wenbo clearly wanted to save his life to deal with him. When I thought of this, a sense of panic was slowly rising in Hu Zhuge's heart, making Hu Zhuge's face pale.

Since then, the territory of the Song Dynasty was completely restored, and the emperor Zhao Zhen re-established his country name as "Xinghua" to quell internal strife and foreign troubles and restore the territory of the Song Dynasty. This year is called the first year of Xinghua.

The country is restored, but Jingkang’s shameful hatred is still unrequited! The two emperors and thousands of relatives and ministers of the emperor are still in the hands of the Jin people. Ashamed of Jing Kang, the people have not forgotten, and Zhao Zhen has not forgotten! Xinghua opened in the second year of spring in Bianliang, Tokyo, which was just restored to its prosperity. Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty offered sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, worshiped the ancestors, and prayed to the heavens.

After that, His Majesty Zhao Zhen ruled the Southern Army and the Yulin Army with a total of 200,000 troops. Combining with Yue Fei, the commander of the North Middle Road, Han Shizhong, the commander on the left, and Wang Jin, the commander on the right, a total of the four-way legion, known as a one-million-dollar army. In Tokyo Bianliang, the Secret Envoy Zhao Bangjie and Prime Minister Ma Kuo presided over the overall military and political situation.

On Yanjing Road, the dark and oppressive Song Dynasty army appeared south of Yanjing, and the army led by Zhao Zhen himself, the first target to bear the brunt was the central city of Yanyun eighteen prefectures-Yanjing!

Although the local Golden State garrison had long been informed, they were also prepared for combat as much as possible. However, the 200,000 elite Song troops who have fought in the south for many times are a terrible force that cannot be resisted.

After being besieged for three days and three nights, the long-awaited reinforcements of the Jin army were unable to reach because of the fierce attacks of the other three-way Song army, and Yanjing was captured by the Song army. Thirty-five thousand Jinbing defenders were casualties or were captured, tens of thousands of Jinbing fled, Baoshan King Wanyan obliquely defended his concubine.

After Yanjing was captured by the Song Army, Xijing Datong was also attacked by the combined forces of the central marshal Yue Fei and the right marshal Wang Jin. The left-hand marshal Han Shizhong and the imperial guards all commanded Wang Gui's coalition forces also captured Fengshengzhou. Soon, the Yanjing Road was completely broken by the Song Army, and the Song Army rushed towards the Dajin State Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road.

Thousands of refugees from the Golden Kingdom fleeing the flames of war flocked to the northern territories to seek refuge, and the roads were full of people day and night. The streets of Zhongjing Dadingfu are full of people fleeing in rags and rags. With horror on their faces, they told passers-by their thrilling escape story to passers-by. The people of the Dading Palace in Zhongjing, who had just experienced the Jin-Liao War, heard bursts of exclamation.

At this time, Qin Zong had just passed away due to mental and physical torture. The Huizong, who had to bear the humiliation, was sent to the northern capital by Jin Guoren. At this time, intelligence from all parts of the Kingdom of Jin was flooding from the front. Words that frustrated the Jin people were repeated over and over again, and everywhere they were "lost" and "being surrounded" or "losing contact."

Since the Song Army’s various units released organized horse-detecting and sentinels everywhere, Jin’s scouts could only bring back some vague information. The generals of the Kingdom of Jin wanted to determine the next move of the Song army from this information, and it was no less difficult than finding a sewing needle in a dark room.

Completely different from the previous record, the current Song Army has defeated the Golden Soldier who had been frustrated many times. On the front line of hundreds of miles, the Song army seemed to have infinite strength and squandering energy. They united the 100,000 army of Xixia and the 30,000 army of Yelv Dashi, and at the same time, they approached the nomadic Wanggubu on Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road. The main force of the golden soldiers attacked at the same time, and smoothly besieged ten strong cities.

On the third day of April, Yue Fei personally commanded the 100,000 headquarters army, forming a web north like a spider, gradually approaching the enemy carefully and cautiously.

A large number of troops were sent for reconnaissance, and messengers issued orders to the ministries quickly. There is wilderness everywhere in the north, on the endless and wide horizon, on the rugged mountain trails, in the secret jungle of little-known. There are marching Great Song soldiers and horses everywhere, and weapons everywhere.

The four-way Song army is like a stream and a river converging into the sea, with countless troops attacking from the south to the north. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Song Dynasty’s first counterattack against an invading enemy was officially launched! It really made clear the slogan "If you violate my Da Song, even if it is far away, you will be punishable!"

On the tenth day of April, under the command of Yue Fei, the Beiwei army commanded Zhang Xian and led a total of 53,000 people into the territory of the Wanggu Department on Zhongjing Road.

This is a magnificent army, the army stretches for miles. Knives are like mountains, guns are like forests, people are like seas, murderous like rainbows, and war horses neigh violently. The cavalry from all walks of life spread over the sky, and the army is like a sea. Seeing the great Song army formation, the guards of the nomads and ethnic minorities in the small Tucheng guarding areas were scared to abandon the city and fled.

Seeing the enemies running away in the distance, they all commanded Zhang Xian and smiled arrogantly. With a wave of his hand, he shouted: "We have taken the Tulei City today, and tomorrow we will take Zhongjing! Soldiers, soon we will spend the night in the Dading Palace of Zhongjing! Victory will be ours!"

Finally, it was about to hit Huanglong. Thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty roared excitedly. The momentum was like a mountain torrent and a tsunami, and the soldiers shouted: "Go straight to Huanglong! Take down Zhongjing!"

At this time, the Golden Empire, the Emperor of the Golden Kingdom, Jin Taizong Wanyan and Wu Qibu, who finally realized his crisis, finally took action. He is now sixty years old, his body is gradually aging, and he is already very sick. At this time, he didn't want the newly established Great Golden State to be damaged.

After sending envoys to make peace with Zhao Zhen several times, after being killed by Zhao Zhen one after another, Jin Taizong finally understood a truth. That is, the current Zhao Zhen does not want the old Huizong and thousands of Zhao family and ministers and nobles, but his golden country! Want his golden land!

After understanding his own situation, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai quickly mobilized an army of 500,000 and two million civilians and slaves to fight against the Song army. An astonishing number of soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of the Kingdom dug trenches and reinforced the walls around the cities day and night, building layer after layer of fortifications, layered trenches and fortifications continued to the end of the earth, forming a whole A huge defensive front.

But unlike the Jinren's idea, Song Jun did not use the means of force attack, but used various cunning military tactics. On the evening of April 12, the Song Army infantry appeared ghostly behind the Jin soldiers. This Song army pretended to be a reinforcement gold soldier, and unexpectedly took Fengzhou City, which had only a few gold soldiers left behind. Yang Zaixing, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Beiwei Army, personally led the army into the city, killing all the soldiers who defended the city and taking the city in the summer.

Cooperating with the Xixia Army in the west, they attacked the Golden Soldiers from east to west, north and south, and in this way, the pockets of the encircling circle were tightly tied!

Knowing that Fengzhou City was captured, King Gaitian Wanyan Zongxian, who commanded the battle, had a premonition that something was wrong. He sent a messenger back to the rear to request the right deputy Marshal Zongfu and Marshal Wan Yanwu to come for reinforcements. Break around the state.

However, Yue Fei was also prepared for this. He deployed a fairly strong reserve team on the outer line to quickly reinforce Fengzhou City, and then launched a counterattack from both wings, once again consolidating the defensive line of the encircling circle. After a fight, the Golden Soldier not only failed to break through, but the encircling circle shrank instead.

In the following days, the Jin Bing launched several attacks on the Song Army's line, but failed to achieve a breakthrough. After failing to break through for three consecutive days, the Jinbing army, which was dominated by the nomads of the Wanggu tribe, was exhausted. On the fourth day, the Jinbing army had to turn to defense.

At this time, the Xixia army also arrived, and the two armies of Xixia and Song army continuously attacked the Jinren. Countless fights and conflicts, Xixia and Song Army troops took turns to fight against the Jin Bing, almost treating this prestigious Jin Bing Corps as the training target of the exercise.

Originally a golden man who was good at fighting in the plains, his advantage at this time no longer exists. The combined army of the Song Army and Xixia is really too much. There are flags on all sides, and a sea of people on all sides. The majestic military song is heard from all directions, resounding across the sky.

For a long time, the Song Bing that King Gaitian Wanyan Zongxian saw was the scene of rushing away in front of Jin Bing. Until now, he finally woke up. As the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty, those Song Dynasty officials and relatives of the emperor were timid, weak and panicked. But if the powerful people under the leadership of the weak and weak Da Song are organized, Da Song will be reborn and burst out with immense power.

Da Song has a huge population, and their current army is strictly disciplined and capable of combat. And this kind of large-scale army of the Song Dynasty is beyond the reach of the Jin Kingdom, which is untrained but has a small population.

Compared with the Song Army, the Jin Bing did not have large-scale logistics supplies, and their food relied on looting on the spot. After several days of high-intensity battles and marches, the golden soldiers composed of ethnic minorities, Han people outside the Great Wall, and nomads have already run out of food. Soon, the Jinbing Army began to supply food in limited quantities, and the Jinbing was hungry, and his eyes flashed green. Although there are orders to prohibit them, privately, some golden cavalry have begun to secretly slaughter horses.

After two days, even the horses were eaten up. The besieged Golden Soldiers had nothing but bark and grass roots to survive, and there were still terrible rumors in the Golden Soldiers at this time. Many soldiers did not go back after leaving the barracks at night. Two days later, his body was found somewhere in the camp. The flesh of his belt was gnawed clean, leaving only a skeleton.

At this time, the Jinbing is in danger, for fear of being harmed by others. The people who have been harmed are even their own. Panic and despair captured the entire Golden Soldier Corps. At this time, the Golden Soldier deserters who surrendered to the Song Army began to appear in twos and threes. Surrendering to the Song Jun still has a chance to survive. If he falls alone in the hands of his hungry local companions, the end will be miserable.

Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian was distraught, and the Song Army and the Xixia coalition army severely besieged them. The military spirit and discipline of the Xijing Road Army have fallen apart, and they are on the verge of collapse. Now, his only hope is that other legions outside the encirclement can come to reinforce him.

What he didn't know was that the right deputy marshal Zongfu and Marshal Wushu had already led their respective legions to come day and night. Starting from April 20th, they were on the periphery with the Song army left commander Han Shizhong and the right commander Wang. The blocking force led by Jin fought into a ball.

At the end of April, the great battle of the Jin-Song Xijing Battle was in full swing. There were two main battlefields in the battle. The first main battlefield was located in the plain area where Wang Gu Bu was located on Xijing Road. The Jinbing and Wang Gu Bu nomads had a total of more than 90,000 troops, and they were 100,000 soldiers by Song Jun Yue Fei. The public and the 100,000 Xixia Army were divided into several pieces and surrounded. They have no food or medicine and are already in their final struggle.

The second main battlefield is at the junction of Zhongjing and Xijing, where 200,000 Jin Soldiers fought with more than 200,000 Song Soldiers on the left and right of the Song Army. Right Deputy Marshal Zongfu and Marshal Wushu are helping their besieged Allies. Han Shizhong and Wang Jintou personally controlled the main forces of the two armies, blocking the reinforcements of Jinbing on the border between Zhongjing and Xijing. Against them are the old opponents of the Song Army, the right deputy Marshal Zongfu and the Jin Junbing Marshal Wushu.

This is the first large-scale head-on confrontation between Zhao Zhen's army and the main force of the Jin Bing since Zhao Zhen went south. The two soldiers are equally matched, both are the stars of the two countries, and are equally skilled in tactical and strategic tactics.

At this moment, Song Jun's commander Yue Fei quickly and his army appeared on the flank of Wu Shu, and Zong Fu's left wing also appeared with a hundred thousand Xixia Army. It turned out that King Khan of the Wang Gu Department would behead the Great King Gaitian Wanyan Zongxian and his confidants, and completely surrendered to the Song Army.

Seeing that Wu Shu and Zong Fu were about to be surrounded, they quickly retreated, hurriedly retreated Baili, and withdrew into Zhongjing City. They tried to rely on the tall city walls of Zhongjing to resist the Song army.

At dusk, a fierce siege was underway outside the capital of Jin Guozhong. In the setting sun, thousands of Song Army soldiers are launching an attack on the towering city wall in a dense formation, and the attacking queue is as turbulent as the sea waves.

The fire thrown and erupted by artillery and firearms outside the city pierced the sky and attacked the city wall. In the city and the city wall, black flames and golden red death sparks emerged, harvesting countless lives. Arrows and stones flying out of the city fell into the attacking army in a terrible arc, splashing flesh and blood. In the setting sun, the fierce offensive battle is going on in a violent manner.

The killing sound shook the sky. Hundreds of ladders were placed on the top of the city. The Song Army infantry stepped on the ladder and climbed up. The fighting crowd was already fighting on the top of the city. From time to time, someone fell from that terrible height and fell heavily. But at this time, no one paid attention to this. Both sides of the fighting were red eyes. Jin Bing and Song Bing attacked each other inch by inch in the city, and the blood was flowing into rivers.

"It's too slow! It's getting dark, we haven't even been able to win the city!"

Seeing that the golden soldier flag on the head of the city was already shaky, but it just didn't fall. Looking at Marshal Han Shizhong, who was extremely anxious on the battlefield, his face flushed. At this time, he was furious like an angry lion. He halted in anger and shouted hoarsely: "Go! Brothers, go! Jinbing can't stand it! Charge me!"
