Several collapsed areas of Yinzhou City have been filled up with wood, stones and straw bags. Large cracks are covered in them. On the city wall where the smoke is not yet gone, defenders can be seen peeking out. On the opposite side of the city, in front of the Qi army formation , there are also siege equipment such as wells, oars, crash carts, crossbows and other siege equipment scattered around the formation. The light cavalry sentries around the formation look back and forth in a dispersed formation. And the rows of infantry in the front rows wearing heavy armor are also ready as steel. The city wall generally begins to surge forward, and behind it is a large number of light infantry, already carrying sacks and archers carrying strong bows and crossbows. Such a scale of siege formation is arranged layer by layer for a long distance, and it is very difficult to see the past. Boundless weather...
Liaoyang Prefecture, Jinzhou, and Shenzhou, all the important state capitals in the southeastern corner of Liaoning, have all been lost. Now the Qi army from various tribes has gathered together, presumably to attack Yinzhou with a relatively simple city gate for several more times. After annihilating all the stubborn defenders in the city, the battle will surely not be too difficult.
The exiled surrender minister of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Falcon, also rushed to join the Qi troops from various tribes. Now he went to the city to persuade him to surrender, trying to teach Pucha Asa and the rest of the Jin army to surrender. However, Xiao Tang looked toward the wall. After closing the door on the devastated Yinzhou City, I secretly thought in my heart: Even if the Jurchen ministers from the Jin Kingdom clan went there to lobby, I believe that Yipucha Asa's character is definitely not one that would be willing to submit in just a few words. .....
Xiao Tang's eyes flickered and then fell on Zhu Tong beside him. He saw that his face was still pale, and his broken arm had been tightly wrapped and hanging from his arm. Although he had been treated and bandaged by the doctor, he was no longer in danger of life. , but it must take a while to recover. But Zhu Dian's face still couldn't help showing a look of annoyance. Seeing this, Xiao Tang also asked: "Brother Zhu Dian, since you are injured, you should rest in peace and rest." Okay, and even though Pucha Asa is extravagant and powerful, he is only fighting for personal prowess in battle. Now that our army is sure of victory, there is no need for you to feel depressed, brother."
When Zhu Tong saw this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied: "Why do you worry about Your Majesty? It's embarrassing to say that before the general's ability failed, he was already taking advantage of the victory to sweep away the enemy chieftains, but the general was defeated and lost his spirit. And that The young general of the Jin army is indeed brave and unstoppable, and he is extremely powerful. He is really a fierce general. If our army were not now sure of victory, defeating the weak with a large number, and only based on his ability to fight on horseback, he would not be underestimated... ..”
After all, Zhu Tong, who was at the level of the Eight Hussars of Liangshan, was easily defeated. However, Pucha Asa, who is now in the same season, has limited war experience and is only in his youth. It is also conceivable that he is powerful. Xiao Tang nodded slowly. , suddenly said in a leisurely voice: "But I don't know what it would be like if I were to fight against him?"
Seeing this, Zhu Tong's expression changed immediately, and he immediately asked quickly: "What does Your Majesty mean...is he planning to fight with Pucha Asa?"
But Xiao Tang smiled slightly and said: "What's wrong with this? Why is it that as the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he also risked his own life and death with his brothers to fight and kill? How could he become so noble by sitting on the dragon throne? Can't we go into battle?"
After Zhu Tong listened and was still waiting for further persuasion, Wanyan Falcon, who had gone to lobby for surrender, had already galloped in front of Xiao Tang. Seeing that this guy's eyebrows were filled with anger and shame, he must have reacted. After being scolded for betraying the country's treason due to his duty, he persuaded Pucha Asa and other Jin army remnants who could not defend the city wall to surrender. He was cautious in front of Xiao Tang and felt that he had lost his face.
Xiao Tang didn't take it seriously, and immediately issued orders. Suddenly, war drums roared and horns sounded in the Qi army's formation. The guard soldiers wearing imperial armor shouted in unison, shouting "Long live the mountain", while a group of knights holding ceremonial weapons surrounded them.
Then, Xiao Tang used his spear to urge his horse, and ran straight to the foot of Yinzhou City.
Fang scolded Wanyan Falcon, who had gone to lobby for laziness, and retreated. The remnants of the Jin army in Yinzhou City suddenly saw the enemy's formation rolling forward. The trumpets and golden drums became more and more loud and loud. They immediately felt like they were facing an abyss, forming into formations.
The Jin army began to gather at the top of the city again. Under the hurried orders of the generals, many horned bows were half-opened, and the arrows with cold light flashing at the tip were about to be struck on the strings.
Listening to the strange roar of the Qi army on the opposite side becoming more and more intense, I saw the huge military formation slowly parting, holding out countless fluttering flags, and numerous elite soldiers and horses escorting the enemy, surrounding a seemingly
As a highly valued figure in the Qi Dynasty approached the city gate, another military general immediately jumped out from above the Yinzhou City. He put his hand on the wall and looked over, looking at everything he could see.
When the enemy army saw a grand and majestic scene, and suddenly felt a chilling air coming towards them, the Jurchen general stared and gnashed his teeth, and said with a bit of surprise in his tone: "What? Is it really Xiao Tang?
, he actually arrived in Yinzhou?"
This Jurchen general was naturally Pucha Asa, who was promoted not long ago because of his bravery and prowess from the powerful officials of the Jin Dynasty. Now he is still trying to hold on to the situation.
And Xiao Tang drove the fire red horse thousands of miles away and galloped back and forth with the distance beyond the city gate, looking around at the Jin army above the city as if facing a formidable enemy, he suddenly breathed deeply and loudly
Call: "Which one is Pucha Asa on top of the city? I heard from the soldiers that you sympathize with the people in Yinzhou City and don't want their lives to suffer in vain. You opened the city gate to send the people away, but you still stubbornly defended and refused to surrender. But you
If you are truly compassionate, you should also show compassion to your subordinates. Now that Yinzhou has changed hands, sooner or later, it will be difficult to restore the situation. When the city is destroyed, the soldiers will be everywhere and everyone will be burned. I care about your compassion for the people.
Now I will give you a chance to keep your useful life. If you still refuse to surrender, I will have to treat you as if I have saved you. And our government only appoints generals based on their talents and appoints officials based on their merits. We have also recruited a large number of Jurchen people. We have increased the number of people.
I don't want to kill you, but if you continue to be obsessed with it, what can you do to save it?"
On top of the watchtower, Pucha Asa's face was ashen. He squeezed the bricks on the wall tightly, with veins popping out on his palms. Suddenly he shouted sternly: "Xiao Tang! You don't want to talk any more. Even if
Now that there are national thieves in my army, inciting many Jurchen people to surrender to your Qi Dynasty, how can I submit to you, the enemy of our Jurchen country!? Now you are rampant, oppressing our country, and committing great crimes against me.
I have nothing more to say to you, but I just want you to know that there are still a large number of warriors among the Jurchens who are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight for the country, and to resist to the end the enemy country like you that invades our Jurchen homeland!"
Xiao Tang's eyes immediately glanced in the direction of Pucha Asa on the city wall. He thought to himself that Pucha Asa was indeed one of those people who could be easily subdued and appeased. However, he could not defeat him even on the battlefield.
Be merciful, even if there is no such chance, but at least I have gone to Yinzhou City in person, try to reduce the casualties and losses of our own soldiers that will eventually be caused by storming the city... I think in my mind
, Xiao Tang then replied loudly: "You said that I invaded your Jurchen's homeland, but the Jin Kingdom's great power did not capture the Liao Dynasty? At that time, there were indeed many Khitan people who became your Jin Kingdom's subjects.
, but don’t they all hope that their relatives and children can live in peace during the war? With your intentions, do you want the hatred between the Jurchens and the Khitans to continue from generation to generation? And you, the Jin Kingdom, have gained power.
At that time, those who coveted the wealth of the Southern Dynasties brazenly invaded the Central Plains, causing devastation of life, and how many people in the Song Dynasty suffered from military disasters and wars? Why can you only allow the Jurchens to annex the Liao Dynasty and invade the Song Dynasty, but I can't take away your golden country?
Countries and nationalities are at odds with each other because of their different customs, cultures, and ideas. Just like when the Khitans oppressed the Jurchens for generations, and the Jurchens destroyed the Khitan country, they still wanted to annex the Han family in the south. This will inevitably accumulate. After years of hatred, when one is strong and the other is weak, they attack each other again and again, and the wars will be endless... Regardless of the people of the Song Dynasty, the people of the Liao Dynasty, the people of the Jin Dynasty... the old, weak, women and children of all tribes and tribes, wars have continued to cause disasters, and the days have passed. It is very miserable. The innocent people can only hope to survive. However, our country's national destiny is prosperous and our soldiers are united. Now they are following the general trend. Although they want to take over the Jin Dynasty, it is just like Aguda, the founding ancestor of your country. , unwilling to harm the Jurchen people who have no intention of starting another war, and to eliminate the hatred caused by the war, the only way is to unite the six states and the nine states together! Now it is difficult for you to save the situation, saying that you are willing to die loyally, even if you are not willing to fight for your own life and future. Even if you plan to die here together with your subordinates, even if you are trying to die, in my opinion, it is meaningless!"
Pucha Asa, who was originally unable to be coerced by force or lured by advantages, suddenly showed a strange look on his face after hearing this. Although he knew that the other party was the enemy of the whole country, the strange thing was that many of Xiao Tang's words could directly touch his heart. .However, even if he vaguely felt that Xiao Tang's views were out of the ordinary, and even consistent with his own ideas, the man under the city wanted to destroy his country with a deadly hatred, and the concept of uniting to eliminate national hatred was very important to Pu Cha. Asa is too unconventional and unconventional, how can he just obey and surrender!?
A trace of hesitation flashed across Pucha Asa's face, which was originally full of anger and ferocity, but he quickly came to his senses, thought for a moment, and then shouted sternly: "No matter how eloquent you are, That's right, how can I be willing to be a renegade villain who betrays his country to survive! Xiao Tang, you keep saying that you care about my soldiers and don't want to kill in vain, but the Qi army under your command wants to attack the city by force. There will inevitably be a lot of casualties, but I gave you a chance, but you dare to fight with me to decide whether to live or die? If I die in your hands, Yinzhou City will give up! But you are a dignified emperor of a country, but you are willing to let it go Is it true that your life is in danger and what is under my command? If you don't want to, then stop talking and say that you care about the people, you are just a sanctimonious hypocrite!"
However, Puchaasa wanted to use words to anger Xiao Tang just in case. He would hardly think that with his current status, the other party would agree to fight with him under the city. But this was far beyond Puchaasa's expectation. What's more, after hearing this, Xiao Tang in the city immediately replied loudly: "That's fine, what's wrong with that?"
