The Jin soldiers who came to suppress the rebel army of Longde Prefecture were the 10,000 Han troops on Hedong Road. They were originally the wing troops of the southern prefectures of Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty. After the Jin soldiers occupied Hedong Road, they surrendered one after another and were reorganized into the Han army on Hedong Road. They were commanded by the commander of the Hedong Road. Liu Daliu was also appointed as the commander of the Han army, and had a high status.

After the outbreak of the Taiyuan Battle, the army was transferred to Jiexiu County to guard the logistics area of ​​the Jin soldiers. However, Liu Daying failed to preserve the granary of Jiexiu County and was ordered to be executed by Wanyan Xie. The army was replaced by Liu Daliu's general Zhao Wenhui, and the chief general was also demoted, from the commander to the commander, and the level of the army was also demoted from the third level of the Han army to the fourth level of the Han army.

Correspondingly, the soldiers' military salary was generally reduced by 30%, and the welfare benefits such as food and accommodation were also reduced accordingly. The armor was also reduced from cowhide armor to ink-coated armor. This was the reward and punishment system of the Jin soldiers, and it was a punishment for their failure to defend the logistics camp.

Generally speaking, the Han army was divided into four levels. The Han army in the former Liao Kingdom was generally the first-level Han army, while the surrender of the Song Dynasty imperial guards belonged to the second-level Han army, while the surrender of the Song Dynasty's wing army belonged to the third-level Han army, and the fourth-level Han army was mainly the original rural soldiers.

But in terms of the level of the Jin soldiers, the Han army was still at the bottom, lower than the Jurchen soldiers, the Korean soldiers of the Bohai Sea and the Ki Xi soldiers, and they were arranged at the bottom. This severely punished army belonged to the bottom of the bottom. The most direct treatment was that the monthly salary was always the same, and there was no right to distribute spoils. It was given half a pound of brown rice every day, a piece of pickled vegetables, and a fifty people stayed in a big tent, wearing cloth armor, wearing leather helmets, no shields, crossbow arrows, only a Khitan spear and a dagger.

They were responsible for the dirty and tiring work in the army, and they threw the matter of suppressing the rebellion of the peasants. Every Han soldier had tattoos on his forehead. Once he was caught, he was beheaded immediately. Because of fear of this, these soldiers did not dare to escape easily despite their extremely low morale. Even if they fled to the Song realm, they would not be able to raise their heads because of the tattoos on their foreheads. They could only do it for a day.

The army rushed to Shangdang City, and Zhao Wenhui looked up at the county town. There was no moat and the city wall was not high. He turned around and ordered: "The army gathered!"

A drum beat, ten thousand Han troops gathered quickly, and Zhao Wenhui cavalry shouted loudly to ten thousand soldiers on the war horse: "The other side is just a rebellious peasant, a group of mobs, vulnerable. You cheer me up. If this rebel army is wiped out, we can restore to a third-level Han army, and the treatment is the same as before. I promise you that after breaking through the county town, you will get the benefits you expect!"

His speech quickly spread throughout the army, and all the soldiers' eyes were lit. Although they did not have the right to distribute spoils and all spoils had to be handed over, it did not mean that they could not get any benefits. All the soldiers understood in their hearts that their benefits were women and small treasures that could be hidden, mainly gold and silver and jewelry. Women could enjoy them on the spot, and gems and pearls and small ingots of gold and silver could be hidden, and military magic soldiers could not find them at all.

After receiving the promise from the commander, the dying Han soldiers became excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Zhao Wenhui knew that the morale of his army was difficult to rise and easy to destroy, and finally rose easily. He had to seize the time. He didn't have time to let the soldiers rest, so he drew his sword and pointed at the city and shouted: "Siege the city!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The sound of the attacking war drums rang, and ten thousand golden soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city two miles away.

This time, the Jin soldiers brought fifty ordinary siege ladders, which was enough to break through this city occupied by mud legs.

On the city wall, Li Ying shouted: "Arrow ready!"

The flag was waving on the top of the city, and the three thousand archers immediately took the archery posture. They were all the rebels who had just received. They only had two days of training. They didn't need to practice the correct head, just shoot the arrows down the city. There was only one content of their training, when to prepare, when to shoot arrows, and then the posture of the arrows, and the angle of the arrows.

Waving the flag is the order prepared. They need to set up their archery postures and then wait for the order to shoot arrows. The order to shoot arrows is the sound of a clapper.

The archers stood behind the city wall, and at the battlement were two thousand fighting soldiers. They were the rebels who rebelled last time. The five thousand people picked out from the 40,000 people, were basically the former Song soldiers. After nearly two months of rigorous training, they have become qualified soldiers.

There are also five thousand soldiers arranged at the city gate, led by the five Liu brothers, ready to break out of the city at any time.

Ten thousand gold soldiers came overwhelmed with a spectacular momentum, which made the soldiers on the city wall nervous and tightly held the spear in their hands. As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun and experts look at the tricks. The soldiers of Song soldiers who had participated in countless battles on the city wall shook their heads secretly and walked over long distances and attacked the city without rest. How could they bear the physical strength?

Hou Jing whispered to Li Ying: "The Jin soldiers underestimate the enemy too much!"

Li Ying smiled slightly, "Maybe they think the rebel army is just a group of mobs that can be defeated quickly, so there is no need to make too much preparation."

"When will we project a thunder in the sky?"

"When they gather together, they will shoot and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

The two set up their strategies and waited patiently for the enemy to step forward.

The Jin soldiers were getting closer and closer, and had already entered a hundred steps. Li Ying still did not order the arrows to be fired. When the Jin soldiers ran into a fifty steps, Li Ying shouted, "Arrow!"

The sound of the clapper suddenly sounded, and three thousand archers shot arrows down the city one after another. They basically shot into the sky at an oblique angle of 60 degrees. For a moment, the arrows were like rain, covering the sky below the city. The Jin soldiers under the city had no shield to resist the armor on their bodies. The cloth armor on their bodies could not withstand the shooting of the soldiers and arrows. They all screamed and fell to the ground. The first round of launch shots knocked down more than 500 people.

The archers on the top of the city heard the screams under the city, and they were all trembling with excitement. They continued to shoot at the city.

Thousands of Jin soldiers had already attacked the city, and siege ladders were placed on the top of the city. At this moment, the thunderbolters who were hiding behind the battlements took action. They lit the fuse and threw out the flying fire thunder. Flying fire thunders circled towards the siege ladder and quickly wrapped around the main pillar of the siege ladder. As the flying fire thunder exploded, the siege ladder was immediately broken and could no longer continue to siege. These Han soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time and had never seen the flying fire thunder. They were stunned.

At this time, Li Ying saw that ten thousand Jin soldiers had basically gathered under the city, and he issued an order to fire the thunder.

‘Bang!Bang!Bang!’

With a series of collisions, ten thunders blew up into the air and flew down the city head fifty steps away. The rebel soldiers on the city head saw the thunder fifty steps away and lay down on the ground to cover their ears. At this time, ten thunders exploded above the heads of the Jin soldiers. The dense poison-hardened iron nails shot at the surrounding soldiers. The iron nails penetrated the soldiers' armor and shot into their bodies. The soldiers under the city screamed in a shrill manner.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Jing ordered the launch of the second and third rounds of thunder and thunder. The battlefield suddenly filled with smoke and screams rang out throughout the field. Thousands of uninjured Han soldiers were so scared that they turned around and fled.

The west city gate rumbled open, and Liu Da shouted loudly: "Get out of the city and kill the enemy!"

Five thousand soldiers came out of the city. They waved their swords and guns and swept to the scared Jin soldiers.

Ten thousand Han soldiers were once the wing army, and after surrendering to the Jin army, they had no chance to go to the battlefield. They had never seen the thunder and powers shook the sky.

At this moment, all the soldiers were frightened and their morale was defeated. They just wanted to escape as far as possible. Liu Dawu's brothers led 5,000 soldiers out of the city. The Han soldiers were desperate and knelt on the ground and surrendered, and countless of them were killed.

The battle was over after only one hour. The soldiers happily cleaned the battlefield and escorted the prisoners of war. At this time, Liu Da and two prisoners of war found Li Ying, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "The reinforcements are indeed powerful!"

Li Ying smiled and said, "Actually, these thunders are nothing, but these Jin soldiers are so bad."

"Hmph! Just a group of Song people who are scum."

Li Ying asked two prisoners of war again, "Who are they?"

"They are pigeon slaves and are responsible for distributing pigeon letters to Linfen County. We have also seized two pairs of pigeons!"

Li Ying was overjoyed. He originally planned to send someone to Linfen to report military information, but now he has a pigeon letter, so he hurriedly asked the two pigeon slaves, "Do you have to write a letter from your chief general?"

"No need to write a letter by hand, but the pigeon letter seal is required, in a small wooden box in his horse bag."

The enemy's chief general Zhao Wenhui had been killed by the bombing and his war horse was also killed. Liu Da ran out immediately without waiting for Li Ying's orders, and took a horse bag for a moment and found a small wooden box from it.

Li Ying took it and opened it. It turned out that there was a very small seal inside, "Is this the one?"

The two soldiers nodded, "It's it, but you have to send two copies at a time."

Li Ying immediately wrote two letters of the same pigeon, stamped them with seals, tied them tightly on the pigeon's legs, and the two pigeons flew into the sky, circled twice, and flew towards Linfen County.
