The Light, The Sword

Chapter 50: siege

Views:

Rumbling rumbling...

Cangtian seemed to be furious from boredom at the endless fighting in the small town of Shuzhou, as a dazzling electric light blazed the sky, and a series of thunders exploded, deafening.

Wang Gui jumped up almost instinctively, turned around, the light of the sword flickered, and amidst the screams, the four sergeants of Jin Guo who had climbed into the city from the gap in the north city of Zhengyuan were at the same time fell and fell into the outside of the city. In the chaos.

With a loud "bang", a huge boulder was slamming on the observation deck beside Wang Gui, just a few feet away from him. The sand was flying, splashing him all over, but Wang Gui was ashamed of nothing. Jue, the sergeant Jin Guo, who was looking at the city like a tide, constantly trying to snatch into the city in various ways, issued a series of commands in his mouth.

The torches burned red throughout the heavy night, and some of the defensive devices piled on the head of the city were ignited by the Jurchen Rockets, and thick smoke billowed.

He had almost forgotten when it was now, and had almost forgotten that this was the first few days after the arrival of the Jinwushu army.

Looking over, there was fire like blood, blood like fire.

As soon as Jin Wushu's army arrived, without rest and reorganization at all, they all plunged into the team attacking Shuzhou City.

Since then, Jin Ren is well-staffed, has shifted in shifts, and has launched the most tragic charge against the small town of Shuzhou all the time.

Starting from opening my eyes every day, all I think and see is fighting.

The heavy siege facilities such as ladders and trebuchets brought by Jin Wushu also brought endless trouble to Shuzhou City.

Right now and what I can see, a barren, various defenses and buildings close to the city wall, almost all were razed by the day and night attacks of the golden men.

And the Jurchen Jinjin attacked in all directions at the same time almost every time, making it difficult for them to gather troops in one place, and they couldn't defend themselves.

With the sound of "crash", thousands of crossbow bow movements merged into one place, and the dense rain of arrows seemed to cover half of the sky for a while. With Wang Gui's eyesight, in this dark night, you can still see the arrows many times. Strings of white letters.

Wang Gui knew that it was a proclamation issued by Jin Wushu to the emperor's official family and the military and civilians in Shuzhou City. The battle of the city, now in full swing, can still be heard standing in the siege army, the group of loud sergeants, starting to work together in unison to shout the proclamation hoarsely.

In this report, although some were persuading the people of the Song Dynasty soldiers in the city, most of them were still aimed at the emperor's officials.

In the report, Jin Wushu set aside a few periods and made various promises and threats in stages. For example, he claimed that if the emperor in Shuzhou City and the soldiers and civilians can surrender the city within three days, they have since surrendered. Jin, he swears in the name of the god Abu Kainduli who is sincerely enshrined by the Jurchens, and he will never harm any vegetation in Shuzhou City, nor will he kill any sergeant or common people in Shuzhou City. Even after he promised that after the emperor’s official and Jin Wushu signed the Song Jin peace agreement, Jin Wushu would never take him back to Mobei, but would let him continue to return to Lin’an safely in Hoi An and be him. That comfortable emperor official, since then the two countries have suspended their troops and opened up peace forever. After this time limit, the conditions are lowered one by one, and the warning finally threatens the soldiers and civilians in Shuzhou City. If they do not surrender and resist to the end, the day when Shuzhou City is broken, the Jurchen’s 600,000 cavalry will want to go inside Shuzhou City. Rashed to the ground, slaughtered all the creatures in Shuzhou City, and even threatened that if the city was broken and captured, the emperor officials currently trapped in Shuzhou City would be subjected to a thousand humiliations, tens of thousands of tortures, and their deaths would be unspeakable. The Jurchen’s iron cavalry will be even more so, stepping down half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the artifacts of the kingdom will be cut off from the emperor’s official family, and the emperor’s official family will also become the sinner of the Song Dynasty.

Attacking the heart is the top priority, then siege is the second; Even Wang Gui couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this old opponent on the battlefield.

This Jinwu technique is indeed an old treacherous slippery.

The report did not blindly threaten with majesty and danger, on the contrary, even the steps to step down were thought out for the emperor official.

For the lives of tens of thousands of people in Shuzhou City, for the safety of the emperor's official family, and for the peace between Song and Jin forever.

This is an almost irrefutable excuse.

Although anyone knows in their hearts that if the city is offered and surrendered in this situation, the alliance under the city will inevitably allow the Jurchens to take what they want, and there is almost no room for bargaining in the Song Dynasty.

However, under such coercion, I am afraid that it will be difficult for many people to make calm thinking and judgments calmly.

Thinking of this, Wang Gui couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

No matter how well Jin Wushu manages, he can never imagine that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is almost a different person.

Don't say it was Jin Wushu, even if it was oneself, it was only after seeing the almost miraculous achievements made by the emperor's official family several times before he could believe this fact.

No matter how much Ren Jinwushu tried, he could not calculate this kind of change that could not be inferred by common sense.

One wrong move, and all games are lost.

So almost from the beginning of this war, the Emperor Marshal has firmly grasped the victory in his palm.

It must be so!

……

Jin Wushu and Han Chang flew at the same time, standing in front of the camp gate, looking at the billowing Shuzhou city, but knew that the battle had come to an end.

The endless tragic offensive without any slack, from morning to night, the sound of fighting, crying, and screaming, is enough to bring the most serious psychological pressure to everyone in Shuzhou City. This pressure is sufficient. To make ordinary people crazily collapse, but it often arouses the blood and desire of real soldiers to fight to the death.

And the notice he made deliberately had the intention of leaving a gap above this pressure, deliberately leaving a glimmer of hope for the people who resisted the city in Shuzhou City. This iron horse in his hand is the foundation of Jurchen’s Anbang, and any damage will make him very heartbroken. If it is not a last resort, he would never want them to be well-trained against the one, red-eyed and mad. , Prepare the desperate army.

At the same time, he still imposed a harsh time limit on this hope itself, because this would inevitably create another suffocating depression and tension in Shuzhou City.

In the face of the hope of life and the desperate situation, not everyone can maintain their original beliefs and inner persistence.

Even if the old Yue Fei department of Shuzhou City is a 20,000-year-old battlefield and has made steel, it is impossible for everyone to do this.

Especially that person!

He knows better than anyone, how cowardly and cowardly that person is, greedy for life and fear of death.

That day when he brought up a strong team and chased it into the sea, the emperor of the Song Dynasty once wrote to his account several times. He was humble and brazen, begged hard, and even went to the emperor's title and begged to be his servant. , Just to save his life and go full of wealth.

It's like the one I'm holding in my hand right now.

This letter was secretly delivered by a Song Emperor in the city yesterday.

This Song Dynasty's emperor official is not stupid.

He didn't seem to dare to disclose this point of surrender to anyone in Shuzhou City before he got his own exact conditions and answers.

After all, although the city of Shuzhou is small, it is already his last barrier.

My own scene was originally made more for the official family of the emperor.

He had no doubt that the Song Dynasty emperor must be the first person in Shuzhou City to collapse and seek surrender.

When an emperor sits on the south side of the Yangtze River, he can still enjoy all his existing wealth and glory, sensuality, and no need to worry about the warriors and horses of the Golden Kingdom. This is what the Song Dynasty emperor dreams of most. .

He has more things than anyone else, so he is more afraid of losing everything he has now than anyone else.

Another dazzling electric light flashed, shining brightly on the transpiration fighting spirit of the Song State sergeant on Shuzhou City.

At least until now, the Song State's defenders on Shuzhou City still have their own offensive and defensive forces, their momentum is rising, and there is no sense of advance or retreat.

Under such severe physical and mental pressure, after being subjected to such a violent impact from a completely disproportionate army, it is still able to maintain such a vigorous fighting spirit. It can only prove that this army has a man who can become the hero of the army. Commander.

Just like Yue Fei before, like the Song Jianjun in Shuzhou City today.

Although Song Kingdom had been under the pressure of the big gold and could only guard a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but after all, his vitality was not lost, his energy was not exhausted, and he was so concealed and crouching, and there were so many famous heroes who had come out of this world!

If they can have a stable rear, they can gather and prepare for a period of time, and then go northward in large numbers, I am afraid that in today's world, there is no army that can fight against them.

It's a pity that this Song Supervisor will soon follow in the footsteps of Yue Fei and be regarded by his own king as the best sacrifice for the Song and Jin Peace Treaty.

Even this time Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Wu Lin...

Jin Wushu looked up to the sky, sighed slightly, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Unable to fight against these real opponents head-on on the battlefield and fought a hearty battle without the soldiers, this is a pity that he can no longer make up for in this life.

However, as a citizen of the Dajin Kingdom and a member of the Jurchen tribe, he hopes in his heart that the emperor of the Song Dynasty who is sitting in Shuzhou City can continue to sit firmly on the dragon chair of the Song Dynasty. Can live a hundred years, disease-free and disaster-free.

As long as Jiangnan Song State, the emperor official, is the political state, his worries will never become a reality.

If Beici could force Song Kingdom to retreat to the south of the river, he would actually have laid more possibilities for the future of Jurchens.

Since ancient times, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are weak and unbearable for military battles. If Song State abandons the heroes of the north of the Yangtze River, it will not be able to form an army that can resist the big golden cavalry.

When this generation of predators honed in the Song and Jin conquests have softened their bones in the boundless wind and moon of the south of the Yangtze River, when the war is a peace, it is all up to the Dajin Iron Cavaliers to speak.

In a certain sense, maintaining the current situation of the present, and even the future expansion of the Jurchen tribe, depends to a large extent on whether the current Song Emperor’s throne is consolidated.

So he even plans to add Qin Hui to the list of secret executions!

Although he knew that Qin Hui and the Dajin Kingdom were only under the emperor and crown prince, Hu Lubo was extremely fierce and had many subtle relationships, but he couldn't care about it either.

I don't know why, although he only had several connections with Qin Hui when he was trapped in the Kingdom of Jin, and didn't have a deep friendship, but he always almost intuitively believed that this person was by no means willing to live in the underworld.

Today, Qin Hui half-true and half-falsely used the threat of Daijin to deter the courtiers, even the emperor Zhao Gou did not dare to do anything, although what he did did nothing to benefit the Kingdom of Dajin. Where there is a conflict, Jin Wushu always feels that something is faintly wrong.

In any case, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty is more in line with the long-term interests of the Jurchen people than the ambitious Qin Hui.

"what!"

"Be careful!"

"Hurry up!"

The sudden sound of horns awakened Jin Wushu's contemplation.

However, the winch of a trebuchet was loose, and the huge stones that were thrown down fell obliquely, but it knocked down a piece of Jurchen Sergeant around.

Flesh and flesh fly.

Everything is reminding Jin Wushu that it is not time to enjoy the results of the battle, and what he is in front of him is still the most tragic battlefield.

Jin Wushu frowned slightly and looked at the blazing city of Shuzhou.

This battle should be over.

You must not let me wait too long.

should!
