Chapter 24 Psychological warfare before the battle
This is also the fundamental reason why the Jin army adopted the tactics of siege and siege, because as long as the Song army was willing to defend the city wall, the Jin army would definitely not be able to break the city.
Unless you send Guo Jing and Guo to go out to dance square dance.
Zhao Ning arrived on the city wall, and the ministers followed the emperor to the city wall.
When they saw the soldiers around them, they looked panic and disgusted.
When he saw the neat lined outside the city and covered in darkness, the Jin army was even more scared and his face was as pale as paper and his whole body was trembling.
Li Ruoshui dissuaded: "This place is dangerous. As the emperor is the 195th emperor, it's better to return to the palace quickly. Just wait here."
Li Ruoshui is not as good as him, but other officials are not as good as him.
Some officials had trembling legs and weak all over.
"It's okay." Zhao Ning looked at the Jin army still lined up below.
In the Jin army's camp, the subsequent large troops were gathering.
Looking down from the city, a large area of darkness was like a torrent that was gathering rapidly.
The officers shouted loudly and scolded the soldiers.
Before the war, all the army needed to be mobilized.
The mobilization is to allow soldiers to enter the combat state as soon as possible and increase the combat effectiveness of the group.
Elite troops like the Jin army mobilized very quickly.
After capturing the Liao Kingdom, a large number of siege equipment were captured from the Liao Kingdom, and the Jin people were fully prepared for this siege of Tokyo.
Tall ladders, catapults, goose cars, etc. are pushed out from the snow.
There are special people cleaning the snow in front of you.
The Jin army was composed of the Jurchens, Khitans, Bohais and Hans.
Among them, there are relatively few people from the Jurchen tribe, but they are all elite among the elite.
The rest are leftovers after the fall of the Liao Kingdom.
Mouke (the centurion of the Jin army, usually one Mouke is in charge of 300 people) shouted loudly: "Use all your strength!"
I saw tall Bohai people pushing taller, bulky catapults.
Of course, in ancient China, this thing was not called a catapult, but a cannon, and it was a cannon next to the character "Stone".
It was already on the battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period, but the Song Dynasty began to evolve.
The reason is simple: firearms have begun to be put into the military field.
On the side of the Song army, the urn city was full of defenders.
There are archers and crossbow archers.
The urn city is extended in a semicircle, so that when the Jin army attacked the city, the Song army on the urn city would have a very wide range of shooting.
The Song army on the city wall is also ready.
Everyone had already finished breakfast in the morning and had steamed buns.
The steamed buns in the Song Dynasty were filled with meat.
Zhang Shuye is now coordinating the military rations.
His ability to open up all the military supplies in such a short period of time is enough to show how powerful his abilities are.
If it were Sun Fu's idiot, many soldiers guarding the city would not even have enough food to eat, so they could only watch Guo Jing open the city gate.
Zhao Ning looked at the Jin soldiers who were mobilized outside the city and felt the depressing aura of the ancient battlefield again.
The Song-Jin War was the pinnacle of the ancient Chinese cold weapon war. Both sides would continue to invest and mobilize millions of troops to launch inhumane killings everywhere in China.
Now it's just the beginning.
And he, an overtime dog in the 21st century, joined this era, this cruel era.
His mentality also began to change slowly during this period.
War is cruel, but war can also train a person's will like steel!
Compared to the day he traveled through time, now he has been much calmer now looking out of the city again.
He turned around and asked Zhang Bofen: "Bofen, who is the commander of the Jin thief?"
"It's their marshal Wanyan Zonghan."
"Oh, it turns out to be Wanyan Zonghan."
Just like the first time going south at the beginning of this year, the Jin army was divided into two groups.
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang led the way.
The marshal is Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongwang is the deputy marshal.
The main promoter behind it was Wanyan Gao, the first powerful minister in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Ning shouted in his "microphone": "Who will come?"
A powerful general like Yin Shuke must learn Chinese. After all, the Jin Kingdom annexed the Liao Kingdom, and the backbone that truly governed the Liao Kingdom was the Han people.
After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, these high-ranking Han officials entered the Jin Kingdom court.
In order to better accept the rule, Wanyan Aguda began to ask some people in the Wanyan family to learn Chinese.
Silver Skill is one of them, but his Chinese is relatively weak.
Therefore, the Jin army went south twice and brought a large number of Han officials.
For example, Wanyan Zongwang brought Liu Yanzong, while Wanyan Zonghan had Shi Ling Ai and others.
Yin Shuke shouted loudly: "Yin Shuke! Who is Song General?"
"I am an official in the Song Dynasty, so I asked Wanyan Zonghan to come and talk to me."
When Yin Shu heard that it was the Emperor of Song, he immediately asked someone to inform him.
"Report! Marshal, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty requested a conversation with you."
Wanyan Zonghan was a little surprised: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes."
"Where is he?"
"It's on the city tower at this time."
"What is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty going to do?" Wanyan Zonghan became confused.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Marson, Emperor Song probably felt afraid when he saw us attacking the city again."
Wanyan Zonghan said: "There are people in the city, and the people of Song Dynasty are in a state of resistance today."
"Marson, I'm afraid that's just a play played by Emperor Song for us."
"What do you say?"
"The Marshal thinks carefully, what kind of person is the Emperor of Zhao Song?"
Wanyan Zonghan had a greedy look in his eyes: "It is an excellent opportunity for us to be an emperor, to be foolish, to be afraid of death, to be greedy for pleasure!"
"Think about the strength of the Song army?"
"Xi Yin, I know that the Song army is vulnerable and has a good reputation. If it weren't for the strong city of Bian Jing, our army would have already captured this place, and the Song State would have already destroyed it!"
"Why is the Song army so vulnerable?"
"Of course it's the problem of the Han people themselves. They are just a flock of sheep. How can a flock of sheep fight against us tigers and wolves?"
"No! Marshal, the subordinates are brave enough to be brave. Please don't look down on the Han people in terms of war. The Han people established several dynasties with abundant martial ethics and once swept outside the pass. The Song Dynasty was weak because of the Zhao official family's own problems."
"What does this have to do with the situation in front of you?"
"The Emperor of Song was afraid of warriors and guarded against his ministers. At present, there was no Li Gang in the city. Most of the ministers in the court were greedy for life and fear of death. The behavior of the Song court over the past year is enough to prove that the Emperor of Song could not truly unite all parties and fight with us."
Wanyan Zonghan seemed to understand Wanyan Xiyin's words, and he said, "What do you mean is that Emperor Song is boosting morale in the city today. Isn't he really going to fight with us, but his purpose is to talk to us?"
"That's right."
"Why is the Tokyo Ilbo we received yesterday?"
At this time, the Han minister Shi Liai went out and said, "Marson, this is better explanation. The Emperor of Song wanted to tell us that he knew that we wanted to talk to him now, and that he wanted to have more initiative at the negotiating table."
Zhao Ning did not expect that his behavior was over-analyzed by the generals of the Jin Kingdom.
However, this cannot be blamed on the generals of the Jin Kingdom. Their thinking habits were still in the periods of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. The Zhao Song court was indeed too weak.
"That handsome man can meet Emperor Song."
