The electric light is heavy, reflecting the sky of Shuzhou City.
Zhao Kuangyin raised his head, vaguely smelling the suffocating air when the rainstorm was approaching, and there was another scent of restlessness in the air.
It's almost time!
Although the thunderstorms in the Jiangnan area came fast and went fast, when it came, Ting Wanjun, no matter how helpless Jin Wushu was, he had to temporarily stop the almost endless offensive of Jurchen.
Although I was in an inconspicuous house in Shuzhou City at this time, the screaming cry of fighting still pierced my ears all the time, reminding the tower not far away that both Song and Jin were still fighting for death. Fight.
Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and swept over those Sergeants of Song Dynasty who had just come down from the front of the city and were already standing by the tunnel entrance waiting to be evacuated.
Their faces more or less with scars, especially the blood that hasn't calmed down from the battlefield of guns and arrows.
No one wants to go first at this time, even though they have to go.
Every time Wang Gui decides the list of withdrawals in batches based on their injuries and physical conditions, there are always many people who hope to stay, hoping to drag it to the end.
Although each of them understands that the withdrawal in batches is part of the plan of the generals of the supervising army, although each of them understands that they will have to face life and death at all times to stay, but almost everyone wants to be able to It was the last group to be evacuated, hoping to fight several times with the invading Jurchen.
In the end, if it weren’t for Zhao Kuangyin, the supervising general, who was respectful in their hearts, he promised them that the withdrawal did not mean leaving the battlefield, and that they would continue to kill them in the near future, I’m afraid it’s just for this evacuation. Regarding the order, Wang Gui didn't know how much more saliva he would spend, and how many times he would scold his mother.
Shuzhou City is close to the front line. There were originally several escape tunnels leading to the outside of the city. After Zhao Kuangyin arrived, he chose another route on the basis of the original and spent a lot of effort to excavate, specifically for today's evacuation.
Right now, this tunnel is deeply buried in the ground, and the exit is in a valley not far away. It is extremely hidden and there is no danger of being discovered by the Jurchens.
It’s just that there are nearly 20,000 Great Song Sergeants in the city, plus some Ding Zhuang people who voluntarily left behind to provide military supplies and logistics. There are more than 30,000 people up and down. Therefore, evacuation along the tunnel must also be carried out in batches. Save time at the last minute.
The number of sergeants of Song Dynasty in the city and the number of enemy troops outside the city are very different. Although Han Chang originally had 300,000 troops, he suffered several setbacks as soon as he attacked the city. Secondly, Han Chang deliberately used intimidation to win, and stopped fighting. , The sergeant in the city still has enough margin and can be deployed freely.
But when the Jinwushu army arrived, they were determined to attack the city and persuade them to surrender. Relying on the advantage in numbers, they continued to organize an offensive like a mountain, even though the city of Shuzhou was full of soldiers who had experienced many battles. With both ups and downs and united will, I can only cope with it as hard as I can, and I can't spare any more people.
So after a severe thunderstorm last night, Zhao Kuangyin knew that the last moment was coming.
In any case, under such an endless offensive by the Jinren, at the last moment, there must be an army to stay for the last wave of resistance, and these soldiers must be determined to die.
When the storm came and the Jurchen had to stop the offensive, they might have a chance to retreat.
At this time, it was originally the season of frequent thunderstorms in the Jiangnan area, but at this time, there was a sudden thunderstorm, which really made the Song Dynasty sergeant feel the heavens and help the Song Dynasty.
After all, they have been on the battlefield for a long time and have moved here for several years, and they know very well about the changing conditions of this kind of weather. In this season of thunderstorms in Jiangnan area, every time it strikes, there will be a thunderstorm of almost the same intensity at the same time every day for at least three consecutive days.
This is a great opportunity that can be arranged calmly.
In fact, since the day Jin Wushu arrived, Zhao Kuangyin had ordered Wang Gui to withdraw the wounded and the people of Ding Zhuang from the city in batches, as well as some of the tired defenders who had been replaced from the city and had already fought fiercely.
After all, Shuzhou City was not meant to be used for defense!
It is just a big bait, after the prey is hooked, it can be discarded without hesitation at any time.
The war is cruel after all.
According to the small town of Shuzhou, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are paying the price of their lives almost every moment with outnumbered enemies!
Those who really should protect the world of the Song Dynasty are the great sons of the Song Dynasty who are self-seeking blood!
They will be the optimistic pillars that will support the Song Dynasty in the future!
Every battle is the interweaving of blood and life, but he will surely achieve the greatest victory with the smallest casualties.
The sergeants looked at the supervising general, with respect and admiration flashing in their eyes, and Huer saluted him together, got up, strode into the tunnel, and never looked back.
Under the clamor of the Jurchen people outside the city, and after the scenes that have been performed in the past few days, almost everyone now has a more or less sense of the identity of the new supervising army general. Cognition.
However, these are not important. After all, the supervising army general in their minds will always be the god of the army who has led them to create one miracle after another.
So although they may not fully know how the evacuation plans are arranged, they do know that this supervising army general will inevitably be the last to step into the tunnel.
They had never had any thoughts of persuasion, they were just a pity that they couldn't accompany the supervising general to the end of the battle.
This is a kind of men's acquaintance with men.
Just as no matter how the situation outside the city changes, they still firmly believe that victory will belong to their own side.
The dark clouds pressed even lower.
A blast of thunder shook my ears.
Zhao Kuangyin watched the back of the last sergeant disappear at the tunnel entrance, and then he walked out of the house after watching the sergeant next to him put a fake cover.
When the thunderstorm arrives tomorrow, it is time for the battle under Shuzhou City to really come to an end.
He raised his head and looked at the fire, smoke, and endless screams not far away, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Jin Wushu, this is not our last battlefield!
……
"Dajin State Zuodu Marshal Jin Wushu, please come out to see the Lord Song State!"
The Jurchen army was on the offensive outside the city. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the retreat gong in my army, and they stepped back and lined up down the city. After hearing the voice, the high-pitched sergeants suddenly shouted such a sentence. They couldn't help but look at each other. For a while, I couldn't figure out the intentions of the officers.
Jin Wushu unfolded the memo that he had just handed to his hand, and he couldn't help but smile a little because of his emotions and anger.
Under such a situation, the emperor official of the Song State was indeed a soft-hearted person who allowed himself to ask for what he wanted.
When he used to chase the Emperor of Song Dynasty all the way into the sea, he had received several similar letters. Compared with the two, he was more certain that the one in Shuzhou City was still the original one. The emperor of Song Dynasty.
Not only did his handwriting remain the same, his character did not change either!
He is still so selfish and greedy for life and fear of death.
In this humble letter, he always focused on his own wealth, life and future wealth and glory. Seeing the prestigious situation in Shuzhou City, he blindly explained in the letter that the current expiration will not be lowered, or even The stubborn resistance was definitely not out of its original intention, but the commanding generals in Shuzhou City were ignorant of the general situation, even taking the power of their troops, and blatantly defying his order to offer the city and ask for surrender. He also repeatedly pleaded for Jin Wushu to give him a time limit, or if the city was broken, he would keep his life forever, and after he promised, he would always be a minister and never have a second heart.
Jin Wushu knew that this might be Zhao Gou's excuse. His intention was to find out his hole card first, but it is more likely that the supervising army general had indeed resisted Zhao Gou's order to surrender.
It's just that Zhao Gou can still deliver the letter out of the city at will, obviously the supervising army general still dare not put any restrictions on Zhao Gou.
Perhaps even he didn't expect his emperor's official family to sell them without hesitation when they gave up their lives and defended the country.
General Song Guo, always foolish, loyal and pedantic, isn't Yue Fei the best example? !
But this really fits the temperament of the Zhao Gou he knows.
So he asked the sergeants to shout directly, asking the emperor of the Song Kingdom to come out to answer in person, and his original intention was to present a big problem to the general of the supervising army of the Song Dynasty.
If the general of the supervising army really dared to let the emperor of Song state go up to the top of the city, under his own pressure, he would not worry that Zhao Gou would not serve as the emperor of the court, and he would surrender as the emperor of Song state. No matter how different the generals are, they are bound to be unable to clean up the military spirit that has collapsed.
And if the supervising army general did not dare to let the emperor of the Song Dynasty come out to answer, then it is not in line with common sense. As long as he is a little picky, there will be rifts in Shuzhou City. In any case, it will inevitably give this already precarious one. The small town of Shuzhou brings the deadliest blow!
No matter what, this battle has come to an end.
Jin Wushu glanced at the handwriting of Long Feifengwu on the letter in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, regardless of whether it was the destruction of the city or the surrender, he had taken good care of the life of the Song Emperor.
The Song State was reigned by such an emperor, and he would never worry that Song Dynasty would have an invincible army.
The high-sounding sergeants called out again: "I want to sign the letter of credence with Song State, and open the business of peace between the two countries. Why didn't the Emperor of Song State come out to meet?!"
Zhao Kuangyin walked up to the city by himself, looked at Jin Wushu’s slightly proud face, smiled at Wang Gui, and exclaimed: “How honorable is the emperor’s official status? Fight at war, where are all the wordy coming from!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Under the city, there was a shout of shouts and drums in response.
Jin Wushu gestured slightly with his eyes, and the high-sounding sergeants shouted again: "The books of the two countries, I want the emperor of Song to discuss it in person. It is clear that you Song Guojian army is plotting wrongdoing, imprisoning Emperor Song, and intending to rebel. At this time, most of the emperor officials of the Song Kingdom have already been killed, otherwise, how could you not come to the top of the city at this time?"
There was another uproar in the city of Shuzhou. The Jurchen Army under the city took the opportunity to roar, but the sergeants in the city were scolded by some people, and some were surprised by those who were surprised, and it was a little messy for a while.
Jin Wushu raised the letter in his hand in vain, exhaled, and shouted: "This is your personal letter from the emperor of Song Kingdom, saying that your supervising army general intends to rebel, imprisoning the king, asking for help from the side of Qingjun, the loyal in Shuzhou city. Sergeant Song, don’t hurry up and open the city gate and go with me to rescue your king!"
There was a big uproar in the Jurchen under the city.
There was an abnormal deathly silence in the city, and everyone seemed to be shocked by the news.
Jin Wushu was overjoyed, waved, and the drums of war suddenly sounded.
"Go!"
The Jurchen action seemed a bit more violent than usual, and slammed into Shuzhou City, which seemed to be trembling slightly under the firelight.
In vain, a weird noise sounded from nowhere, but it seemed to stubbornly penetrate into everyone's ears amidst the shouts of thousands of troops and horses.
Jin Wushu turned his head in amazement, just in time to see his rear army squatting on his back, a mess.
At this most critical moment, Jinger seemed to have an unknown and powerful squad, which was piercing from behind the Jurchen, straight forward to reinforce the already precarious town of Shuzhou.
