"Wanyan Loushi, this guy bypassed Shanzhou and headed straight for Tongzhou." Li Yanxian received a report from his subordinates. In the past two years, Li Yanxian, as the Shaanxi-Henan pacifier, supported each other with Shaanxi and Jiezhou, blocked the Jin soldiers' westward direction and defeated Wanyan Loushi many times.

This time, Wanyan Loushi simply bypassed Shaanxi.

"This old thief, Lou Shi, left his back to our army, is so arrogant." Shao Xing shouted, "It would be better for Lao Shao to bring a military horse and attack Lou Shi from behind."

"Lou Shi is scheming and calculating, so Daxia Shao should not underestimate the enemy." Li Yanxian stopped his subordinates from advancing. "You can send a probe to track Lou Shi along the way. If Lou Shi is really entangled by the defenders in Hexi, that is a good time for us to attack."

Wanyan Loushi led his army from Luoyang, passed Tongguan, and reentered Shaanxi. His two sons, Wanyan Huo Daughter, and the two brothers Wanyan Yiying, both envied Wanyan Nianhan's children for the wealth and population harvested in Xiangyang and Huaixi, and they also wanted to have something to grow in Hexi.

Wanyan Huo’s woman was the pioneer and arrived at Su Village, Hezhongfu, which was Pujin Ferry. Wanyan Huo’s woman ordered her headquarters to set up camp during the day, and at night everyone wore ghost faces, held a torch high, shouted, and held a rope across the river.

The defenders on the other side woke up from their sleep. In the hazy sight, they saw evil ghosts coming stepping onto the river under the reflection of the fire. They were so scared that they were scattered and disintegrated overnight.

The next day, most of Wanyan Loushi was seventy miles away from Tongzhou. The news came to the city and the guards were shocked.

At the Battle of Shenshui Gorge in the early 2nd year of Jianyan, Wanyan Loushi was forced to retreat by the Song army. After that, Li Yanxian recovered Shanzhou and blocked the east side of the Yongxing Army's prefectures. The officials on Yongxing Army Road thought that the Jin soldiers would focus on Henan and Hebei. This time, Wanyan Loushi bypassed Shanzhou and crossed the river overnight to attack Tongzhou, which caught the prefect and the magistrate off guard.

Loushi Bojin was still seventy miles away from Tongzhou from Qingshui Qudu River. People were already uneasy. Guiyou Jin people gradually arrived. Tongzhou Tongzhou and the magistrate all left.

Zheng Xiang, the military governor of Tongzhou, went to the well to die. The military and civilians went to the city to defend, but the noise was noisy.

"Dad, siege the city." Wanyan Yiying asked for a fight.

"No, I learned a trick from Nianhan. Living girl, go and answer."

The Jin people went to the city and called for officials to call. There was a person standing up from the city.

Wanyanhuo’s woman asked: “Is you the governor?”

"I am Zhou Liang, the former Shayuan Supervisor, and was entrusted by the people to answer with your army."

"Why not to surrender to the army here? "

Liang said, "If the Jurchens do not kill, they will surrender to the city." The Jin people promised it. Liang went out of the city and asked to surrender to Loushi, and asked Wanyan Loushi to keep his promise and not kill.

Wanyan Loushi smiled and said, "There must be no killing. But the price of redeeming the city."

Then Zhou Liang led the way and brought Wanyan Huo Nu and others into the city. Wanyan Huo Nu said, "Let each household have hundreds of taels of silver to redeem the city."

Although 100 taels of silver are equivalent to 150 to 200 jin, which is equivalent to the income of a medium-sized family for ten years, since Lord Solu has said the real number, there is hope of feeding.

Zhou Liang mobilized all his skills to be a minor official in Shayuan Supervisory. In addition to silver and copper coins, he dug out three feet of land for each household, and took out all the grain, furniture, pottery and porcelain to make up the numbers, and finally plundered the whole city.

Wanyan Huo's woman looked at the mountain of redemption price in front of her and nodded with satisfaction: "This is enough to redeem the city."

Zhou Liang was overjoyed and smiled with a flattering smile.

Wanyan Huo's woman said, "I have enough redeemed the city, but what about the people?"

"Who is redeemed? Tongzhou has not fought with your army, so how can heal people?"

"All men and women in the city need money and silk to redeem them. If they don't have money to redeem them, they have to be a servant for the master."

Wanyanhuo's women led troops to plunder, and led all men, women, young and old in Tongzhou to sign the army, men became strong men, and women became camp tricks.

The Jin soldiers were struggling in Tongzhou, and the news that the Jin soldiers occupied Tongzhou also spread to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Since he successfully repelled the Jin soldiers at the beginning of the second year of Jianyan, the Yongxing Army Road Management sent Tang Chong to the Yongxing Army Road Pacifier. After he learned that Tongzhou had surrendered to the Jin soldiers, he plundered the city's expenses. He couldn't help but sigh: "If you judge this, your son will be able to sue your father. My brother will be able to sue your brother, and my servant will be able to sue your master. How can the people defend the city if they are enemies with each other?"

He had no time to sigh at the fate of Tongzhou, so he could only hurry up. He summoned officials from Yongxing Army to discuss. Yang Zongmin, the general manager, Sang Jingxun, and the general magistrate, once said that Guo Zhongxiao was punished and Guo Yan, the Jingzhao Prefecture, had all arrived. In addition, Fu Liang, the Hedong Economic and Political Commander who had lost most of Hedong and lived here.

After the second year of Jianyan, nearly 10,000 soldiers were stationed in Jingzhao Prefecture and archers were strong.

Yang Zongmin, deputy general manager of the military and horse, sighed: "It's a pity that Wu Jie is not here, otherwise there would be a brave general in the city, and there would be more chances of victory." After the Battle of Shenshui Gorge, Wu Jie was appointed as the commander of the Yongxing Army Road Army. At the end of the second year of Jianyan, it was said that there was a strange movement in Western Xia and he transferred Wu Jie back to Jingyuan Army.

Tang Chong said: "I have already asked Qin Feng and Jingyuan to ask for help from all walks of life. General Yang, General Yang, guarding Jingzhao Prefecture, and waiting for reinforcements."

Yang Zongmin received the order.

Wanyan Loushi took Wanyan's live girl as the pioneer and rushed straight to Jingzhao Mansion. In the afternoon, Jingzhao Mansion appeared in sight. This raid was really quick.

There are farmlands scattered outside Jingzhao Prefecture City, but the autumn harvest has passed and the grain has been harvested. The people outside the city either escaped or moved into the city. There is no trace of people outside the city.

Wanyan Loushi first sent people to the city to answer, and shot a few arrows from the city to drive the envoy back.

Wanyan Loushi smiled and said, "You are guilty."

There are four cities, and Wanyan Loushi personally stationed in the east gate; Wanyan Huowo is responsible for the west; Wanyan Yiying leads the army and surrounds the north and south gates, two 100-man teams are arranged, and there are people who leave the city, and all the enemy messengers will stop them. If the enemy is timid and breaks through from now on, that would be great. Wanyan Loushi is determined to seize the city and kill people second.

After setting up the camp, the Jin soldiers began to serve the people and build engineering equipment, and build seven-pin cannons. Wanyan Loushi waved his hand and said, "Test the cannon."

The roar of earth and rocks made people's ears buzzing. The first shot was hit and landed on the city wall. Many stones, bricks, and the wind blew, and the soldiers on the Jingzhao Mansion were covered with the city walls, hurriedly transporting various cities guarding equipment.

After seeing the city, Wanyan Lou Shijing watched the troops set up their formations. Horses and people were galloping, guns and swords were everywhere, and they shone brightly in the sun. The flags everywhere, and the dust spreading almost covered the entire Jingzhao Mansion.

The Song Dynasty army in the city had never left the city to attack. A civil servant led a few aides and officers to the city wall. He was condescending and carefully observed the Wanyan Loushi army.

Wanyan Yiying couldn't help but feel calm: "Dad, the army's food and grass are about to be exhausted, and only half a month is left. When will we attack the city?"

Part of the grain stored in the army came from Tongzhou, and part of them marched along the route and followed the usual rules. The two parts of the grain were added together, and the amount was quite large.

The soldiers came far away, but they could not rest in total.

The siege time was set in the early morning. Except for the main attackers of Wanyan Loushi headquarters, who were in charge of the other departments, the command of hundreds of households, gathered together the captured Min Zhuang of Song Dynasty. Zhou Liang came forward to select hundreds of strong men and escort them to nearby mountains to cut down trees. He also sent teams to the surrounding villages and towns to confiscate vegetable oil, firewood, wooden boards, etc., to prepare for the siege.

There are not many siege equipment in the army, so we must temporarily build trenches, ladders, rides, and half-blocks of ships.

A busy night outside the city, and a busy night inside the city. Yang Zongmin personally led hundreds of select fronts to escape from the city at night. The two sides fought fiercely in the middle of the night, and the killing was equal. Yang Zongmin retreated back to the city.

After Yang Zongmin retreated, Wanyan Loushi said, "The man must have thought we would go to bed later. Yiying, listen to me." Wanyan Yiying brought a thousand people, holding half a boat, without turrets, and approaching the trench while the night was dark.

The half-barrel is like a half-barrel small boat, with four wooden pillars as corner pillars supporting the top cover. When siege, the four soldiers each hold a pillar to cover the arrows and stones. In addition to these four soldiers, there are still ten people under each ship, carrying the soil dug by the people of the Song Dynasty and are responsible for filling the trenches.

The Song army at the top of the city was yelling, lit up the torches, and the city was as bright as daylight. The commanders shouted loudly, and bows and arrows were fired together.

Because it was made temporarily, the half-bar was a bit crude, but very strong. The top cover was made of wooden boards and solid wood, which was airtight.

The bow and arrow were not shot through. Soon, the first wave of soldiers who filled the trench returned, and half of the ship was filled with bow and arrow, but no casualties were found.

The generals did not sleep all night, and at this time they all surrounded Wanyan Loushi and watched the battle together. Seeing this scene, Wanyan Huo's girl laughed happily and the rest of the generals were all happy.

The second wave of soldiers arrived outside the trench again. The people of the Song Dynasty learned to shoot rockets. Wanyan Loushi was prepared for a long time. Before each wave of soldiers who filled the trench set off, they poured a layer of water on the top cover. The rockets could not burn for a while. Occasionally, if there were fierce firepower, they could wait until they returned to the camp and put them out calmly.

At the foot of the city wall of the Song army, several hidden soldiers were opened, and two or three hundred people rushed out, reaching the enemy building at the foot of the city, the battle shed, and drilling in. The enemy building and the battle shed were very low, almost at the same level as half a ship. The third wave of soldiers who rushed up to fill the trench could block the upper part and could not block the opposite side. In a moment, five or six Jin soldiers were shot by the enemy building, and the Song army in the battle shed, and the chest and abdomen.

"Beat the drum and cheer!" Wanyan Loushi commanded the seven-pin cannon, adjusting the distance and solving the Song army's battle shed first.

The powerful and heavy drum sounded throughout the army. The Song soldiers' city was beating the war drums, and the two sides seemed to be relatively high and low, and the drum sounds were higher and higher. The night birds on the mountain in the distance flew everywhere. The ground under the feet of Wanyan Loushi and others seemed to be shaken and trembled.

The rear camp is rushing to build trenches, and the use of trenches is similar to that of cloud ladders. However, one is to spread upwards and the other is to spread forwards. Multiple trenches are together, with a width of several meters or even dozens of meters. When placed at both ends of the trenches, it is like a bridge, and soldiers can rush through the trenches from above and reach the city.
