Shi Liai didn't approve of Yan Zonghan's going to the front line. The Song Army was not joking except that the bed crossbow was good, and the god arm crossbow was not a joke.
But Wanyan Zonghan wanted to go forward and humiliate Zhao Guanjia.
Wanyan Zonghan is a tiger-wolf-like character with a heroic temperament. He followed Wanyan Agu to fight in the Southern and Northern Wars. He can be said to be the number one hero in the founding of the Jin Kingdom.
Moreover, Zhao Ning asked him to come out to talk now. If he doesn't come out, Zhao Ning can naturally promote it to the Song Army. You see, the commander of the Jin Army is a coward!
At this moment, for Song Jun, what is fighting is momentum.
Therefore, from multiple levels, Wanyan Zonghan will come out.
Seeing a man in black heavy armor, surrounded by multiple layers of defense, came to the front of the formation.
Zhao Ning regained his spirit immediately.
Li Ruoshui also came alive: "Officials, that is Wanyan Zonghan, do you want to use the god arm crossbow?"
Zhang Bofen shook his head and said: "It's useless, the lethality has been greatly reduced when shot at this distance, not to mention the iron armor, I'm afraid it can't even pass the defense of the shield."
Li Ruoshui, a civil servant, naturally doesn't know much about these things, but Zhang Bofen, who kills the enemy on the battlefield, knows it all too well. When the two armies are at war, it is undoubtedly a dream to kill the opponent's coach in this way.
Not to mention the shield, but the iron armor, which is by no means what it is shown in the TV series.
Ordinary bows and arrows can't pierce iron armor at all, otherwise the Jin army would not be able to run unscrupulously on the North China Plain.
The power of the divine arm crossbow is indeed greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows, but at such a distance, it is undoubtedly a dream to kill Yan Zonghan.
Back then, Song Jun shot Xiao Talin with a bed crossbow. It can only be said that Song Jun was lucky. Xiao Talin drank water and stuffed his teeth.
"Is the person here Wanyan Zonghan?"
(Wanyan Zonghan's real name is Wanyan Nianhan, a transliteration.)
"Emperor Song, are you looking for this commander to surrender?"
"Your Excellency is really the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, Wanyan Zonghan?"
Zhao Ning's voice echoed near the tower.
The "amplifier" in his hand is still very powerful.
Wanyan Zonghan pointed to the top of the city and said arrogantly: "Emperor Song, my 15 troops are now approaching the city. Your Kaifeng city has been completely surrounded by me, and your army of King Qin of the towns in Shaanxi has also been blocked by our army at Tongguan. Those who know current affairs For Junjie, why don't you open the door and surrender? This commander can give you a lighter punishment."
Li Ruoshui was furious when he heard this, and was about to finish scolding Yan Zonghan, but was stopped by Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning said loudly: "Zong Han, if you can really capture Bianjing, why did you come to see me? You just want to humiliate me in front of the army and destroy our army's morale. You fight to the death!"
"Hahaha! Just rely on you stupid pigs who are greedy for life and afraid of death! If you don't open the door again, after the commander breaks the city by force, he will treat you differently!"
Shi Liai on the side took the words, and he shouted loudly: "Guan Zhao, since last year, the Song army has been retreating against our army without a single victory. Our Dajin Heavenly Army went all the way south from Youzhou, as if entering a land without people." , you also know the gap between us very well, why don't you surrender in Kaesong now, the marshal is kind, as long as you have money ready, you can talk about anything!"
"Who is Your Excellency?"
"I love you right now."
"So it's you old thief!"
As soon as Zhao Ning's words came out, Shi Li'ai was slightly taken aback, and without waiting for him to speak, Zhao Ning said again: "You are a Han, and you read the books of sages and sages, and you actually help the tyrant to abuse, how is it different from a beast?"
Shi Liai didn't expect Zhao Guan's family not only to scold people, but also to scold people so badly.
He suddenly burst into anger, and roared: "Emperor Dog, you are stupid and immoral. The Song Dynasty has lost its morality and people's hearts have collapsed. Now that the number of days has changed and the artifact has changed hands, it is a natural law. If you want to go against the sky, You must be condemned by God!"
Shi Li'ai deserved to be a Han Chinese, Wanyan Zongwang would only threaten with violence.
But Shi Liai raised the topic to the level of political power and legal principles.
"If you surrender in Kaesong now, I, Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin, can still save Paul's life. I hope you will not be ignorant of flattery!"
"I heard for a long time that I was a virtuous minister when I was in the Liao Kingdom. I can see you today, but I am just an ignorant person!" Zhao Ning suddenly raised the volume, sonorously, "I have a message, the three armies listen!"
"Shi Liai, as a Han Chinese, you read the books of sages and sages, and you don't think about the homeland of China. You have served the barbarians for generations, and you are not ashamed but proud! If you have the slightest bit of shame, you should immediately return to my Song Dynasty and join me Begging for thieves! However, you are greedy for official titles, you have no king and no father, and you help the tyrants! You are a thief with eyebrows and ears, and a dog with a family! You are a man with a head, and an old thief with a beard! How dare you bark and bark in front of me! You step back, don’t want to! Defiled the sword of my Great Song general!"
Shi Li is also 72 years old, and when he heard Zhao Ning's insults, he was immediately furious and gasped for breath.
He clutched his chest, pointed to the top of the city tower, and shouted: "The dog emperor! The dog emperor..."
Wanyan Zonghan didn't expect the emperor of the Song Dynasty to be so capable of swearing, what the hell!
When he saw that Shi Liai was dying, he quickly called out: "Hurry up! Send Shi Xianggong down to rest, and invite the doctor!"
"Yes!"
Shi Liai was escorted down.
Although Shi Li'ai is a Han Chinese, he is highly regarded by Wan Yan Zonghan.
Han ministers like Shi Li'ai and Liu Yanzong were outstanding in terms of ability, not to mention their moral standpoint.
Shi Liai himself was a Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom, and he was born in the Yanyun area.
It was the Song Dynasty who did not take back the Yanyun area, and did not live up to it. The Han people there could only live under the rule of the Liao State.
Moreover, Shi Li'ai is actually not a bad person. When the Jin army aggressively attacked Hebei, he tried his best to prevent the Jin army from looting. He is still a very good person.
It stands to reason that Shi Liai's position should not be blamed.
But now it is a war, a war between countries. War is the continuation of politics, and politics is about standing.
The ministers at the head of the city were all dumbfounded.
What!
When did our official Zhao family become so afraid of scolding people?
Chapter 26
But Zhang Bofen and other people in the army were excited when they heard it.
The Great Song Dynasty Hall has bowed to the Jin people for the past two years.
How humble?
At the beginning of this year, in the first defense of Tokyo, several Song soldiers captured a Jin soldier and sent them to the city. The Golden Army soldier sent it back.
Only after experiencing that kind of aggrieved, did he know that the emperor was so resentful when he reprimanded the enemy soldiers at the top of the city.
Zhao Ning stroked his throat and continued to shout: "Wanyan Zonghan, you will definitely lose!"
He spoke very confidently, as if he was speaking of a mathematical formula.
Wanyan Zonghan was furious. He had come to humiliate Zhao Ning and attack the arrogance of the Song army, but he did not expect that the emperor of the Song Dynasty had a sharper mouth than a knife.
And the skin is thicker than the city wall. I have been surrounded by 10,000+ army groups for a month. Where does the confidence come from?
Even though you are surrounded, when you speak, you act as if you have the upper hand.
"Emperor Song, listen, open the door now and welcome me into the city. I will never touch you and treat everyone in the city kindly."
"Hahaha! Barbarians!" Zhao Ning looked at the soldiers on the left and right, "Just remember, the barbarians have no faith, and the barbarians are afraid of power and not virtuous!"
Everyone said: "The ministers will remember it in their hearts!"
Zhao Ning rolled up his sleeves, crossed his waist, put one foot on the battlements, and continued to shout loudly: "Zong Han, how much military rations do you have? If you can't attack Kaifeng within two months, what are you going to do?"
"I still have a lot of food, so don't worry about it, but you, how much food is there in the city?"
"My Tokyo is so rich that there is more than enough food to eat. You should worry about yourself."
Wanyan Zonghan continued: "The commander's logistics team is collecting food from all over the Song Dynasty, so you don't have to worry about this commander, you should worry about yourself!"
Zhao Ning replied: "My soldiers and civilians from all walks of life in Hebei and Hedong are still united and resisting. It is not so easy for your logistics team to get the food and grass needed by your army. Listen to me, you quickly return to the north. If I When Qin Wang's army from the towns of Hedong and Hebei arrives, you won't be able to leave."
Wanyan Zonghan felt very strange when he saw that the emperor of the Song Dynasty spoke without the slightest fear.
He can be regarded as dealing with the Song Dynasty court for a year. Since the beginning of this year, the Zhao Song royal family is notoriously weak. Why is it that the people on the tower today seem to have changed?
There is only one conclusion: this man is not the real emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Just like before the Jin people asked the Song Dynasty to send the clan prince as a hostage, Song Qinzong sent Zhao Gou there, Zhao Gou uttered nonsense and scolded the Jin people in the Jin camp, and the Jin people thought that Zhao Gou was not from the old Zhao family.
Because in their perception, the men of the Zhao family are more cowardly than the other.
So brave, it must not be from the Zhao family.
This matter also has a process. A few years ago, the Kingdom of Jin didn't know about the Song Dynasty in the Sea Alliance, and thought that the Central Plains Dynasty was very powerful.
As a result, when the Song Army attacked the Yanyun area of the Liao Kingdom, Tong Guan's 10,000+ army was smashed to the ground by thousands of people from Yelu Dashi.
The ally Jin Guo was stunned when he heard Song Jun came to ask for help.
Don't you have an army of 10,000+?There are only a few thousand people in the Liao army in the south, and they are all dying. You came to us for help?Is there a mistake?
Since then, Wanyan Zonghan has completely seen through the essence of the Great Song Dynasty's gold and jade in its appearance and failure, and the extermination of the Song Dynasty has been deeply imprinted in his mind.
As for the whole year of the first year of Jingkang, Song Ting's series of unimaginable coquettish operations made Wan Yan Zonghan more confident that Song could be destroyed.
Wanyan Zonghan also ignored Zhao Ning, he turned his horse's head, not wanting to waste any more time, and said, "Prepare to attack the city!"
The drums of the Jin army sounded.
"Official, go back quickly."
Zhao Ning shook his rolled up sleeves and said, "Everyone has seen it, Wanyan Zonghan is not that scary."
After coming down from the tower, Zhao Ning quickly left the city all the way.
Because the war is about to begin.
This is not a joke.
No matter how brave he was, he couldn't stay any longer. If a stone cannon from the Jin army hit him, wouldn't it be game over!
However, he was not in a hurry to rush to the palace.
The most important thing now is to store up the energy that has just been aroused.
Not long after, the Golden Army's forward team had already lined up.
The large troops behind are also getting ready.
Then, the voice of Jin Jun shouting came from outside the city.
Tens of thousands of people shouted, and the momentum was like overwhelming mountains and seas.
Song Jun was not to be outdone, and Zhang Bofen shouted from the top of the wall with a rough voice.
After Zhao Ning's reprimand at the top of the city just now, the morale of the Song Army at the top of the city has already risen sharply.
Now the two sides are yelling at each other, the meaning is very simple.
Jin Jun: Come down!
Song Jun: Come up!
Jin Jun: Come down!
Song Jun: Come up!
The sound of the drums of the Golden Army became more and more intensive, and the flags fluttered in the air like clouds. The formation of soldiers in armor looked like an ocean of steel at a glance.
The 3000 vanguard team is an elite unit of the Jin Army, including Jurchens, Khitans, and Han Chinese.
Behind the vanguard, there are 10 large trebuchets.
These trebuchets were made by the Jin army after they captured the Han craftsmen and forced those Han craftsmen to make them.
Wanyan Yinshu looked at the top of the city tower with contempt, and he gave the order to attack the city.
Five large ladders were pushed out, and there were dozens of strong soldiers behind each ladder.
They shouted rhythmically while taking steps to follow the rhythm.
The five ladders are like five giant monsters, advancing towards the tower, giving people a full sense of oppression.
This kind of ladder is not the kind of ladder in the past, it is combined with the goose car.
The so-called goose cart is like a big box, and the box is wrapped in iron to prevent the enemy's bows and arrows.
In the Song Dynasty, gunpowder began to be used in military affairs, so a layer of iron sheet had to be added.
And it has four wheels, and there is a hole in the front. People hide in the box, and when they get close to the descendants, they get out of the box.
After this kind of goose cart is combined with the ladder, people can go up the ladder directly after getting out.
Therefore, the military equipment of this era is almost the peak of the cold weapon era, and it is the alternating stage of cold weapons and hot weapons.
The horns of the Song army sounded from the top of the city.
