The inner city of Chuzhou Prefecture is three feet high. It was newly built after Zhao Li was appointed as the guard of Chuzhou Prefecture. Zhao Li had planned ahead and thought that one day the Jin people would send their troops south, and Chuzhou Prefecture would be a pass that military strategists fought for.
.But he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. The Jin cavalry under the city was slowly approaching the inner city by surrendering troops with confidence.
Behind the cavalry were Jin Wushu and Wan Yanchang, who led the Jin generals to line up in a row. If the Jiang army made any move, they would be mercilessly shot by the Jin army. The Jiang army had already been killed by Jin Wushu.
The order is dead. If the city gate of Chuzhou Prefecture cannot be breached within two hours, no one will kill him. Only by breaking through the city gate of Chuzhou Prefecture will there be a chance of survival in front of the surrendering army. Zhao Li stood on the top of the city and watched the surrendering army regardless of their lives.
After rushing over, they could only fight to the death and the battle immediately became extremely fierce. Shooting the surrendering troops a hundred steps away from the city gate could buy some time for the soldiers under the city to seal the gate. Time becomes so important at this time, and breaking through
The more than 30,000 people who entered the house would be slaughtered by the Jin soldiers, the Chuzhou Prefecture would fall into the hands of the Jin people, and the Song Dynasty would...
Zhao Li did not dare to think about it anymore and shouted: "All the soldiers with bows and arrows must hold back the surrendering troops and not let them get close to the city gate! Your wives, children, and children are under the city. Once the city gate is broken, they will become the victims of the Golden Man's sword."
Ghost! Vice General Fang, you immediately led the soldiers to the city to help seal the gate. The lives of more than a thousand brothers on top of the city are all in your hands!"
Fang Zichou solemnly said: "General, don't worry, if I let a golden soldier enter the inner city, it will be unless they step on my body. The right army, except the archers, all went down to the city with me, for the sake of the guard on the city."
,For the people in the city. Charge!"
More than half of the people guarding the city at the head of the Song Army were from the Chujiang Prefecture. The soldiers who surrendered from the Kingdom of Jin were burning, killing, looting and prostitution in Shandong. ###women were notorious and outraged by both men and gods. The only soldiers who defended the city were those who surrendered from the Kingdom of Jin and were within the range of their bows and arrows.
After entering, a desperate fight began. The Song soldiers defending the city launched a tough offensive battle with the surrendering army. The biggest advantage of the Song army was that it could be condescending and had a wide field of vision to attack the surrendering army, and the biggest
The fatal injury is that the number of defenders is too small. There is no skill to speak of in an offensive battle. The key competition is endurance. Whichever side can afford to consume more will be the final winner...
Zhao Li's eyes were always fixed on Jin Wushu and Wan Yanchang. When Wan Yanchang looked at the blood pouring out of the city gate after the surrender troops were shot and thrown into the air, he would become extremely excited and wave his machete eagerly.
Jin Wushu was completely different from Wan Yanchang. Jin Wushu's face was as calm as ice. Zhao Li's injury could not allow him to draw the bow and draw the arrow, but he raised his sword and commanded
Watching the soldiers around him, he shot and killed the surrendering troops who tried to approach the city gate again and again...
In less than a cup of tea, there were already mountains of corpses outside the city gate. The Jin soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions and shot at the top of the city. The Song army also suffered heavy casualties. From time to time, soldiers struck by arrows fell down.
The battle for the door has become a bloody storm. No one dared to retreat and could only destroy the enemy with constant shooting...
In the inner city, Fang Zichou had dug up the large bluestones on the ground one by one with his sword. The soldiers carried the bluestones weighing three to four hundred kilograms and stacked them behind the city gate. The people of Chuzhou Prefecture passed by Wanyan.
In the seven-day and seven-night siege of Changchang, no one knows how many children who were not tall enough lost their fathers, and how many gray-haired old men lost their sons. In their eyes, they were full of fear of the war. Now the remaining people in the city
There were less than five or sixty-seven men left. In the eyes of the people, it was Zhao Li who sent troops to demolish their houses, causing so many families to die alive. As long as the people had land to grow and food to eat, who would do it?
The imperial capital doesn't matter.
The people in the city came out one after another to watch the soldiers dig up the blue stones on the road to seal the gate of the inner city. A pair of old people came out slightly trembling, and grabbed Fang Zichou who was directing the sealing of the gate.
He knelt down and begged and cried: "San, please take off your skin quickly! Your two brothers were already shot to death by the Jinmen on the city wall. You are the only root of the old Fang family. Follow me quickly."
Let me go back. We won’t be this general anymore. As long as we can live peacefully and peacefully, that’s better than anything else. If the Jin people want to destroy the city, let them destroy it. Whoever becomes the emperor doesn’t want the people to cultivate land and provide food for him? We can
We cannot live without a heir!" A pair of elderly people in their sixties burst into tears...
When Fang Zichou's parents made such a fuss, the people of Chuzhou Prefecture all went crazy. They all ran out to look for their children among the soldiers. Some of the wives of the defenders cried and started to take off the Song Army uniforms from their husbands.
, the city of Chuzhou Prefecture fell into chaos. "Stop! Stop it all!" Zhao Li shouted, which stunned the chaotic people.
In addition to the wound on Zhao Li's shoulder, he also had two more arrow wounds on his arms and thighs. The arrow feathers were still on the wounds and shaking slightly. Zhao Li's face looked unusually pale due to excessive blood loss.
On the stairs of the city, he said sadly: "Dear fellow citizens of Chuzhou Prefecture, I, Zhao Li, have caused trouble for you, and now the Jin people have invaded in large numbers. It's not that I, Zhao Li, want to demolish your houses, and it's not that I, Zhao Li, want to destroy you."
We have lost our loved ones. The Jin people are really too cruel. If they break the city gate, it will not be as simple as you think. We have only one way to go, close the city gate tightly and wait for the imperial court to send troops to rescue us."
Fang Zichou's old father cursed angrily: "You said the same thing when Wan Yanchang led the troops to attack the city, and you say the same thing now. My two sons have already helped you defend the city, but they were both killed by the Jin people. You
Do you still want to harm my only son?"
Fang Zichou knelt down and said: "Dad, when the Jin people attacked Shandong, the general asked for troops from the imperial court. Every day, pigeons flew to deliver urgent reports of the war danger in Shandong, but when the pigeons finished flying, there was still no soldier sent by the imperial court.
First soldier. The general said that this time the Jin people invaded us, the Song Dynasty divided its troops into two groups. With the Jin emperor personally driving the west route, the war was even tighter. The imperial court had no troops to send. We had to rely on us to hold on until Marshal Han captured the Jin army.
Reinforcements can only come after the Western Route is defeated. Dad, please stop forcing the general!"
Zhao Li gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrows on his body. He endured the pain and pointed at the dead soldiers of the Song Army below the city. "You... look at them. They are heroes who died fighting to defend this city. You are worthy of doing this."
Them? Lieutenant Zhang was brutally killed by the Jin army in order to find a way for you to escape south. He is watching you under the Nine Springs. Do you think that the Jin people will escape if you surrender? I will never surrender if any of you wants to surrender.
If I don't stop you...how will you face those dead soldiers in the future..." Zhao Li was so sad that he couldn't speak. The people in the city fell silent when they saw this general covered in blood. Chuzhou Mansion could only swoosh.
The sound of arrows whizzing incessantly and the screams of the soldiers on the city wall echoed.
"We can't surrender. The Jin people didn't regard us as people from the Song Dynasty..." The soldiers who were carrying the stones came to a Song soldier with a round face who was sixteen or seventeen years old. His clothes were all torn.
Like patchwork strips of cloth.
As soon as Zhao Li looked at him, he knew it was the Jin soldiers who had just followed him into the city. He looked at him strangely and said, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
The round-faced soldier timidly lowered his head and did not dare to look at the crowd. He said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "I...my name is Kong Renyi, and I am from Qingzhou, Shandong. Qingzhou was destroyed by General Liejie under Jin Wushu.
After the city, our magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture took us to surrender to the Jin people. Who knew that the Jin people only left young and strong soldiers to serve as their siege troops, and killed all the old people in Qingzhou and the young women.
All ### were also killed later. A few of us were forced by the Jin people to beat our own people. The Song soldiers called us weaklings who were worse than pigs and dogs. Many brothers were forced to die on the battlefield, and those who were alive were killed by the Jin people.
Locked up in their stables, we live a life worse than death. We are not weaklings, we want to kill the golden man. We want to avenge our brothers who died..."
"We want revenge, General, just accept us. We want to kill the golden dog, we are not weaklings!" The surrendering troops behind Kong Renyi all shouted in unison, their eyes were firm and their fists were clenched tightly.
…
Zhao Li nodded and said: "You are originally the Song army. I will let you go to the top of the city now to avenge your shame. In Zhao Li's army, there are only beheaded generals and no kneeling soldiers. You all
Did you hear that clearly?"
"Yes! We all heard it clearly!" The ragged surrender troops put down their work and rushed to the top of the city. They picked up the bows and arrows of the dead Song soldiers on the ground, poured their humiliation on the arrows and pointed them towards the city.
The Jin people angrily fired in revenge. The experience of the surrendering army completely shattered the aspirations of the people of Chuzhou Prefecture. Since surrendering would be worse than death, it would be better to follow Zhao Li and fight the Jin people. Maybe there will be a way to survive when the imperial court sends reinforcements.
.
At this moment, dozens of arrows appeared over the inner city, and several people were shot to death on the spot. The soldiers on the top of the city shouted: "General, the Jin cavalry has begun to attack. We were suppressed by them."
"Ah, ah..." Before the soldier could finish his words, he was shot by the golden man and fell from the city wall. The people of Chuzhou Prefecture were aroused by the bloody corpses in front of them and aroused their desire to survive. The men came to the city in unison.
The soldiers helped them dig up the big stones on the road and pile them behind the city gate. There was water flowing into the inner city from time to time, so it was urgent to block the city gate!
Zhao Li relied on the support of his long sword and stood up to see that the Jin cavalry had already arrived at the city. The bows and arrows in the hands of the rangers were flying quickly into the city. Outside the city gate were piled up the corpses of the surrendered soldiers. Jin
Wu Shu's crossbow troops are setting up under the city. The city gate of Chuzhou Mansion cannot withstand the blows of so many crossbow arrows, and Chuzhou Mansion is in danger.
The cavalry ran so fast that it was not easy for the defenders to kill them. With the cavalry joining in, the surrender troops immediately approached the gate of Chuzhou Mansion, slashing, poking, and causing the gate to tremble. Fang Zichou shouted loudly.
He asked the soldiers to speed up the stacking of big stones, and watched more and more people join the team of digging and transporting stones. Fang Zichou secretly prayed that time could pass a little slower...
