Chapter 26 Rekindling the War
But Zhang Bofen and other people in the army heard this with excitement.
The Song Dynasty court has been groveling to the Jin people in the past two years.
How humble is that?
In the first defense battle of Tokyo at the beginning of this year, several Song soldiers captured a Jin soldier and twisted him into the city. The people cheered. However, when the court learned about it, they killed the captured Song soldier and hung him on the tower in public, and humiliated him.
The Jin Army soldier sent him back.
Only after experiencing that kind of grievance can we realize that the emperor was so relieved when he scolded the enemy soldiers at the top of the city.
Zhao Ning rubbed his throat and continued shouting: "Wanyan Zonghan, you will definitely be defeated!"
He spoke very confidently, as if he were speaking a mathematical formula.
Wanyan Zonghan was furious. He originally came to humiliate Zhao Ning and attack the Song army's arrogance, but he didn't expect that the Song emperor's mouth was more powerful than a knife.
And his face is thicker than the city wall. He has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops for a month. Where does he get the confidence?
You are obviously surrounded, but when you speak, you act like you have the upper hand.
"Emperor Song, listen, open the door now and welcome me into the city. I will never touch you at all, and I will treat everyone in the city kindly."
"Hahaha! Barbarians!" Zhao Ning looked at the soldiers on the left and right, "Please remember, barbarians have no faith, barbarians are afraid of power and have no morality!"
Everyone said: "I will keep this in mind!"
Zhao Ning rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, put one foot on the battlement, and continued to shout loudly: "Zong Han, how much army rations do you have? If Kaifeng cannot be captured within two months, what are your plans?"
"I still have a lot of food, so I don't need you to worry about it. How much food do you still have in the city?"
"My Tokyo is the richest place in the world, and I can't even finish the food. You should worry about yourself."
Wanyan Zonghan continued: "My commander's logistics team is collecting food from all over the Song Dynasty, so you don't have to worry about me, just worry about yourself!"
Zhao Ning replied: "I, the soldiers and civilians from all walks of life in Hebei and Hedong are still united in resistance. It is not so easy for your logistics team to get the food and grass needed by your army. Listen to me. You must return to the north quickly. If I
When King Qin's troops from various towns in Hedong and Hebei arrive, you won't be able to leave."
Wanyan Zonghan felt very strange when he saw that the Song Dynasty emperor showed no fear in his words.
He has been dealing with the Song Dynasty court for a year. Since the beginning of this year, the Zhao Song royal family is famous for being weak. Why does it seem that the person on the tower today seems to be a different person.
There is only one conclusion: this man is not the real emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Just like when the Jin people asked the Song Dynasty to send a clan prince to serve as a hostage, Song Qinzong sent Zhao Gou there, and Zhao Gou made nonsense in the Jin camp and scolded the Jin people. 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 last.
Such brave people must not be from the Zhao family.
This matter also has a process. In the past few years of the Maritime Alliance, the Jin State did not understand the Song Dynasty and thought that this Central Plains dynasty was very powerful.
As a result, when the Song army attacked the Yanyun area of Liao, Tong Guan's army of hundreds of thousands was pinned to the ground by Yelu Dashi's thousands of troops and exploded with hammers.
The ally of the Jin Kingdom was stunned when they heard that the Song army was coming to ask for help.
Don’t you have an army of hundreds of thousands? The Liao army only has a few thousand people in the south, and they are all struggling to death. You came to us for help? Is it wrong?
Since then, Wanyan Zonghan has completely seen through the corrupted nature of the Song Dynasty's gold and jade, and the destruction of the Song Dynasty has been deeply imprinted in his mind.
As for the whole year of the first year of Jingkang, the Song court made a series of unbelievable tricks, which made Wanyan Zonghan even more convinced that the Song Dynasty could be completely destroyed.
Wanyan Zonghan no longer paid attention to Zhao Ning. He turned his horse's head, not wanting to waste any more time, and said: "Get ready to attack the city!"
The war drums of the Jin army sounded.
"Guan Jia, 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 city tower, Zhao Ning quickly left the city.
Because the war is about to begin.
This is no joke.
No matter how brave he is, he can't stay any longer. If a stone cannon from the Jin army knocks down and hits him, wouldn't it be over?
However, he was not in a hurry to rush to the palace.
The most important thing now is to maintain the energy that was just inspired.
Not long after, the Jin Army's forward team had already formed its formation.
The large troops behind were also ready to follow.
Then, the shouts of the Jin army came from outside the city.
Tens of thousands of people chanted, and the momentum was like an overwhelming force.
The Song army was not to be outdone. Zhang Bofen shouted loudly from the top of the city.
After Zhao Ning just scolded him at the top of the city, the morale of the Song troops at the top of the city had already greatly increased.
Now the two sides are shouting at each other, and the meaning is very simple.
Jin Jun: Come down!
Song Jun: Come up!
Jin Jun: Come down!
Song Jun: Come up!
The war drums of the Jin army became more and more intensive, and the flags were flying in the air like clouds. The formation of soldiers wearing armor looked like a sea of steel at a glance.
The 3,000 forward troops are the elite troops of the Jin Army, including Jurchens, Khitans, and Han Chinese.
Behind the vanguard, there were 10 large trebuchets.
These trebuchets were made by the Jin army after they captured Han craftsmen and forced them to make them.
Wanyan Yinshuke looked at the tower with disdain and ordered the attack to begin.
Only five large ladders were pushed out, and behind each ladder were dozens of strong soldiers.
They shouted rhythmically and took steps to the rhythm.
The five ladders are like five giant monsters, advancing towards the city 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 a goose cart.
The so-called goose cart is like a large box wrapped in iron sheets to protect it from enemy bows and arrows.
By the Song Dynasty, gunpowder began to be used in military applications, so a layer of iron sheet had to be added.
It has four wheels and a hole in the front. People hide in the box and get out of the box when they get closer.
After this kind of goose cart is combined with the ladder, people can get out and go directly to the ladder.
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.
Zhang Bofen shouted loudly: "The rocket is waiting!"
The soldiers of the Song Army immediately took out "rockets" one after another. They lit the oil on the arrows, then drew their bows and shot at the ladder below.
Chapter completed!
