Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Therefore, in order to allow these reserve troops to go up the city wall and fight the Jin army desperately, Wang Zonglian lured them, telling everyone that if they dared to kill thieves with a spear, for example, Cheng Jielang would be rewarded with five gold bowls, and those with official status would turn to him. Three officials.

Facing the chance of being promoted and making a fortune, the reserve army in the city summoned up their courage and rushed to the city wall to fight a bloody battle with the Jin army.

Seeing that Xuanhuamen was in danger, Yao Youzhong commanded the emperor's guards and guards to fight the fire with his sword. At the same time, he fired arrows through the flames and splashed red-hot iron juice on the enemy from the air.

Song Jun's move did a lot of damage to the Jin Jun who was wearing heavy armor and couldn't avoid arrows. The Jin Jun screamed and fell into the city one after another.

After a bloody battle, the Song army, which had a superior number on the city wall, finally forced the Jin army back and defended Xuanhua Gate.

However, the three towers on Xuanhua Gate have been reduced to ashes.

At night, Yao Youzhong organized the Song army to carry out rush repairs, and barely rebuilt the three towers, but they were smashed by the Jin army with stone cannons.

That night, heavy snow fell from the sky, the snow on the ground was more than two feet deep, and the cold wind howled. Many soldiers of the Song Army were frozen to death on the city.

The officers and soldiers defending the city wall were exhausted and had little fighting power.

At this time, it is necessary to invest in the supporting reserve army in the city to go to the city to supplement the consumption of the defenders on the city.However, these newly recruited troops refused to defend the city.

On the 24th, encouraged by the promotion and wealth, the soldiers who supported the reserve army fought to be the first, and killed the Jin army after a day of bloody battle.

However, when these troops went to the city to rest after the battle and asked the court for rewards, they were told that neither the promise nor the golden bowl could be fulfilled.

The Song Army had a recruiting system, and soldiers were recruited not because they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but because they wanted to make money.Now that the imperial court does not give rewards, which soldier is willing to sacrifice his life?

Chapter 941 The Divine Soldier Destroyed

Palace Marshal Wang Zonglin issued an order again, ordering the people under the city to urge the backup support troops to go up to the city, but the soldiers of the reserve army were full of complaints, sat under the city wall eating dry food, and refused to go up to the city wall to defend.

The 25th is actually the deadline for Yan Zonghan to issue the order to break the city.

The military law of the Jin army is harsh, if the city cannot be broken on the 25th, even a general like Wanyan Yinshu will not escape punishment.

Therefore, Wanyan Yinshu kept a livid face and gathered all the troops under his command, urging them to go all out and attack at any cost.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the incomplete city head of Xuanhuamen, and saw that the enemy towers and defensive equipment above were destroyed by the Jin army, but the Song army did not repair them.

Moreover, the dead bodies of the Song army on the city wall were not restrained, and the tragic scenes of broken limbs and broken legs can be seen everywhere.

On the city wall, a group of numb Song soldiers stood sparsely, silently watching the Jin army below the city gather in the snow.

Wanyan Zonghan knew that the Song army was on the verge of collapse, so he issued an order to the whole army for a general attack.

Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army was responsible for attacking the West City and South City of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and Wanyan Zongwang Army was responsible for attacking the East City and North City.

The horns sounded one after another, and the Jin army launched a strong attack on the four walls of Bianliang City in Tokyo at the same time.

Because the defensive facilities of Xuanhuamen in Nancheng had been destroyed by the Jin army, the Jin army once killed the city wall yesterday.Therefore, Xuanhuamen became the key offensive target of Wanyan Zonghan's army.

Marshal Wanyan Zonghan personally supervised the battle outside Xuanhuamen, and general Wanyan Yinshu took his brother Wanyan Balisu and his son Wanyan Kuying directly into the siege battle.

Seeing that the three towers on the Xuanhua Gate were ruined and there was no ramming pole on the city, the Jin army stepped up their attack and used countless siege equipment such as fire ladders, ladders, goose carts, and caves.

The sky was like rain of arrows and rocks, and the sound of killing was loud. The arrows shot on the city wall were as dense as the spines of hedgehogs.

In the direction of Xuanhuamen, the Jin army has invested the most elite troops, but the Song army here is the weakest among the gates of the outer city.

Due to the insufficient number of imperial guards guarding the city, the imperial court selected many people from the various side armies to serve as the imperial guards.There are the most soldiers from the Xiang army in Xuanhuamen.

The soldiers were not elite enough, and the officers guarding Xuanhuamen also had a lot of food and wine.

Most of the ten-step generals and hundred-step generals in the army were from the southeast, and most of them were relatives of the powerful in the capital.These people were originally messing around in the army, but now they are forced to go to the battlefield, so naturally they don't have much fighting power.

After the Jin army launched a general offensive, the four walls in the southeast, northwest and west of the outer city of Bianliang in Tokyo were in emergency at the same time, especially the Xuanhuamen area in the south city was in danger.

After Emperor Zhao Huan learned that the military situation was urgent, he urgently issued an edict ordering all the soldiers in the city to go up to the city to defend against the Jin soldiers.

However, the reservists who were cheated yesterday and didn't get the reward were unwilling to fight.These sergeants yelled that the imperial court took a lot of gold and silk to support Guo Jing's Liujia soldiers, and now is the most critical moment, so it's time to send Liujia soldiers to battle, right?

Those soldiers and civilians in the city who believed in Guo Jing also looked forward to Guo Jing's magical soldiers turning things around and defeating the Jin army.

In this way, it would be impossible to prevent Guo Jing's Liujia soldiers from fighting.

The prime ministers He and Sun Fu hurriedly sent people to find Guo Jing, urging him to use magic soldiers to retreat from the enemy and stabilize the morale of the army in the city.

Guo Jing is also riding a tiger now.Haikou has been boasting for so long, and the soldiers and people in the city believe it. Now that the whole city is staring at him, the city is about to be breached by the Jin army. What excuse does Guo Jing have for not fighting?

Prime Minister He? He urged Guo Jing several times, but he delayed again and again. At noon, he could not shirk, so he had to open the Xuanhua Gate and send the [-] Liujia soldiers he had recruited and trained out of the city to face the Jin army.

The wind and snow outside the city were misty, and the Jin army was mobilizing troops and generals, swarming in.

Guo Jing sent envoys to send an order saying that the Liujia method can make people invisible. If there are too many people upstairs, fearing that the enemy army will notice, all the people on the tower will go down except him and Zhang Shuye, the general manager of the South Road.

Guo Jing made this move, of course, because he was afraid that the defenders on the city would see the scene of the tragic defeat of the magic soldiers, and then their morale would collapse.Therefore, he did not allow the city guards to watch the battle.

As for court officials like Zhang Shuye, there is no need to hide it, nor can it be concealed.In fact, how could Zhang Shuye not know Sun Fu's original intention of launching Guo Jing?

Now that "a dead horse is a living horse doctor", Zhang Shuye can only pray for God's blessing in his heart, that Guo Jing's divine army can play some role.

When Guo Jing's divine army left the city, each of them was full of fighting spirit, as if they really had the confidence to defeat the Jin army.

Because, Guo Jing not only lied to the soldiers and civilians in the city, but also lied to the more than 7000 Liujia soldiers.These people all thought that after Master Guo practiced the technique, they already protected their body with magical powers, making them invulnerable.

Most of the divine soldiers were rogues like cows who settled down. After they left the city, relying on their religious fanaticism, they frantically rushed towards the Jin army camp.

Not long after, there was the sound of fierce fighting outside the Xuanhua Gate.The soldiers and civilians in the city who could not watch the battle all listened attentively and waited eagerly.

"Our army has won a big victory! The magic soldiers have repelled the Jin army and occupied a camp of the Jin army! Quickly send someone to inform the defenders of the victory! Let all the troops stick to it, victory belongs to the Song Dynasty!"

Guo Jing's excited voice came from the city wall.Soon, the news of the victory of the magic soldiers was reported to the defenders of the East City, North City and West City by Kuai Ma.

Guo Jing's impromptu recruitment and patchwork of magic soldiers really have the blessing of gods, can they defeat the mighty Jin army?

Yao Youzhong, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, felt incredible, and climbed up the tower with his colleague Shi Maoliang to watch.

Seeing this, both Yao Youzhong and Shi Maoliang were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

In fact, Guo Jing's group of magic soldiers are all mobs.As soon as they left the city, they were attacked by more than [-] cavalry from the Jin army.

When the spears of the cavalry of the Golden Army pierced the body of the divine soldiers, breaking the myth of their invulnerability, the seven thousand divine soldiers collapsed at once.

Chased by the cavalry of the Golden Army, the divine soldiers ran around, but they all disappeared in the moat.Those who did not go down the river were also beheaded to death by the cavalry of the Jin army.

What Yao Youzhong and Shi Maoliang saw was the scene of the fiasco of the Shenbing.

Guo Jing is Lin Lingsu's disciple, and even though the play is a mess, he is still able to turn black and white and confuse people's hearts.

Seeing the soldiers in the city flocking to the city to watch the battle, Guo Jingqiang calmed down and said to Zhang Shuye next to him, "Don't worry, the manager, let me go down to the city to do the trick myself, and the gold soldiers and gold generals will definitely be wiped out."
