The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

On July 15, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty left Xianzhou and moved to Xinzhou. Zhao Qiong got up early in the morning and left the imperial tent to take a walk. At this time, the Southern Army had already attacked Weizhou under Gao Chong's leadership, and the camp was only close to him.

The guards served as the guards, and he walked further and further away from the camp. Everyone knew that the emperor's temper did not interfere. However, in order to be safe, a team of guards followed.

At this time, the weather in the northeast began to turn cold and there was already a little autumn, but Zhao Qiong's face was covered with frost without a smile. The fields were already ready to harvest, but in front of him was withering and crawling on the ground

, It was already gone, and the Xinzhou city tower not far away collapsed, the city gate fell, and the city wall was shattered by smoke, and there was no one in the huge city. And this was not just Xinzhou, but Zhao Qiong walked all the way

This kind of tragic situation is everywhere, but these are not all masterpieces of the Song army.

After the imperial court issued an edict to implement the "strengthening the walls and clear the fields and shrinking the defense", the prefectures and governments in the Jin Dynasty immediately took action, destroying all the crops to be harvested, burning the houses, emptying the granaries, and moving the population to the hinterland, causing chickens everywhere to be harvested, causing chickens to come.

There was no sound of the sound of the dogs barking, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children who could not travel long distances to die in the wilderness. All the remaining ruined cities and unscrupulous messes left to the Song Dynasty.

"Oh, the people are suffering!" Zhao Qi sighed and turned back. He understood that the most unlucky in the war was always the people living at the bottom. They not only had to support the officials of the court and the army, but also had to accept the conscript and take up swords and guns to fight.

But his relatives were crying and running in the cold wind, not knowing what fate would be tomorrow. But to end all this, they could only end the war as soon as possible.

The symbol of destruction of a country is to capture its capital and capture its king. Now the Song army on the West Road is less than a hundred miles away from Huining Prefecture of the Jin Shangjing, while the Southern Road Army must conquer Huanglong Prefecture before the troops can enter Shangjing. This will also be the Song army on the South Road

The army was extremely critical in a battle. As long as the city was captured, the Song army completed the strategy of attacking two groups and joining troops under the city. But for this last barrier, how could the Jurchens give up easily...

Huanglongfu is located in the heart of the northeast and is located at the intersection of the Northeast Plain. The lower reaches of the Huntong River, which controls the throat of water and land transportation between the east and west, south and north. There is the Yazi River to the north and the east and west, Liao River to the south as a natural barrier. It is a natural barrier for entry and war.

, an important position that can be defended. It is precisely because of the favorable conditions for the Agung Li Army that it has been fully utilized and developed in the corresponding historical period.

In history, Huanglong Mansion was a royal city in the late Fuyu Kingdom, a major city in the Bohai, Liao and Jin dynasties. After the Khitan conquered the Bohai Kingdom, it was named after the Liao Emperor Abaoji who shot a yellow dragon with his own hands here.

It is said that after the Jurchens captured the city, the corpse of the dragon was still preserved in the granaries of the inner palace. Later, it became a forefather army town for the Liao Dynasty to defend against the Jurchen tribes in the northeast region, and its status was only slightly lower than that of the Five Capitals. The Jin Dynasty conquered the Huanglong.

The mansion was renamed Jeju, becoming another important town on Jinshangjing Road after Huining Prefecture.

Huanglongfu area is rich in water and fertile land. During the Liao Dynasty, the northeastern region was mostly rich in wealth, and it was also known as the "yinfu". Because in history, Liao captured the Bohai Fuyu Prefecture and died in the Bohai Sea, and Jin captured the Huanglong Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty.

Because of the fall of the Later Liao Dynasty, there is a saying in history that "the battle of Yinfu determines the universe". It can also show the importance of its geographical location. It is connected to Xinzhou, Shenzhou and Liaoyang Prefectures in the south, and to Xiangzhou, Yizhou, and Bin in the northeast.

The province, you can directly reach Shangjing by crossing the Huntong River and Lalin River. This line runs across the north and south, is relatively flat, without major twists and turns. The geographical environment along the way is flat and there are no mountains and ridges, making it easier to become a major transportation route and conquer the Jinshangjing of Huanglongfu.

It was completely exposed to the attack surface of the Song army.

In history, due to the importance of political, economic, and especially military importance, satellite cities are placed around to form a complete defense system. Huanglong Prefecture has Xiangzhou in the northeast, Yizhou in the west, and Weizhou in the south, and other military important areas such as Huanglong Prefecture have Xiangzhou in the northeast, and Yizhou in the west, and Weizhou in the south.

Gongwei. Gao Chong decided to adopt the tactic of "clearing the periphery and fighting Huanglong again". First, he took advantage of the emperor's east wind to open up the waterway. He sent Ma Wei to lead the Leopard Wing Army and Dengzhou Navy to seize Xiangzhou to control the Huntongjiang

The downstream waterway was to block the reinforcements of the Jin army. Then the loyal and brave army was sent to attack Pennsylvania, and he led his troops to capture Weizhou and marched into Huanglong Mansion...

Gao Chong is in his hands at this moment, the soldiers of the three generals of the Tiger General, the Leopard General and the Wolf General, totaling fourteen brigades. The small town in front of him should have gone down in one go, but unexpectedly, he hit a nail and fought for three days.

Failed to break through the city.

On the one hand, this is because the city is in danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is built on a high platform on the banks of the Eton River. On the east side is the road leading to Huanglong Mansion. On the other three sides, the river water surged and overflowed during the rainy season, forming a large area of ​​water.

Back retreat, large wetlands formed, with shallow waters and difficult boats, and people and horses unable to get on their feet, forming a natural barrier, which made the Song army able to attack from the east, making it difficult to expand its troops, and even if it wanted to siege the city, it was difficult to do so.

On the other hand, the military and civilians in the city resisted fiercely, fearlessly and tenaciously. In fact, there were not many defenders in the city, but after implementing the policy of "urgent income to forts and clearing the walls", a large number of people flocked in.

, the population of this small town expanded to 50,000. Most of these people were young and strong. After being trained into the army, they fought in the city. They hated the Song army very much because it was their arrival that forced them to destroy it and be almost mature.

The crops are abandoned by old parents, young children and weak wives and daughters, so they are desperate to fight.

"Master, the city we destroyed with artillery fire overnight has been restored. It seems that only day and night can it be destroyed." After the tent was promoted, Gao Chong dispatched troops to attack the city again, and Liu Baoxian reported.

"Oh, how did they do it?" Gao Chong asked in surprise, because this was not the first time.

"Master, according to the last general's reconnaissance, when we were shelling, the people in the city avoided the west of the city, and our troops could not get close to the swamp, and it was difficult to get the artillery fire. After the shelling stopped, go to the city to defend and use it to get out of the swamp.

The dug out mud repaired the destroyed city walls. This mud is very strange. It drys out soon after encountering wind, and it is as hard as iron and cannot enter the knife and axe." Liu Bao said with a puzzled face. Most of the cities they encountered in the past were built of rammed earth.

After damage, it is usually filled with sand and stone. The strength naturally cannot be compared with the original ones and can be easily destroyed again, but this time it is difficult to do it again.

"I have been fighting for three days but not a small city has been defeated. Today, you have to chew the city walls with your teeth. How can you get so many excuses?" Gao Chong got angry again after hearing this, and looked at Liu.

Bao shouted.

"Yes, Grandmaster, I'll lead someone to chew!" Liu Bao politely said.

"You don't need to have guns and cannons. If you have teeth, can't eat enough or have food left?" While the two of them were staring at each other, someone smiled and entered the handsome tent.

"Your Majesty, why did you arrive suddenly?" Gao Chong saw clearly that the person came and hurriedly left his seat, and the generals hurriedly bowed.

"I heard that you have been blocked in Weizhou for many days and have brought reinforcements!" Zhao Qiong said with a wicked smile.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent. I will alarm the emperor. I will definitely take over Weizhou today." Gao Chong quickly apologized again and said with a flushed face.

"Haha, I have already visited the city. It is indeed easy to defend, difficult to attack, but not easy to use troops. It is not entirely your fault." Zhao Qi waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the defenders in this city are extremely tenacious, even Ding Zhuang is not afraid of death. We ignited the city with incendiary bombs, and the Jin soldiers rushed down from the city without fear and wanted to die with us, so they attacked several times.

No one can break the city under the city.” The wolf general Zhuge Hong moved a chair and said with a bitter face.

"You beat them away from their hometowns, and their wives and their families are broken. Of course, you will have to fight with you. In the future, we will encounter more and more battles, and resistance will become more and more tenacious. So what do you do

?” Zhao Qi glanced at everyone and said.

"Of course we must be more ruthless and tenacious than them, and eliminate all those who dare to resist!" Several generals replied with a fierce look on their faces.

"Well, it's not bad. I'm very satisfied, but I don't have to go on the battlefield today." Zhao Qi nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, you are a body of gold. You must not come to the sword and arrow in person!" Everyone was frightened when they heard this. The emperor was really angry and wanted to take action to serve as role models for them. They quickly dissuade them.

"Tsk, why do I need to go out of this small battle? Let's go out to the camp and have a look. Zhao Xin may have entered the city!" Zhao Qi looked at the panic and said disdainfully.

"Ah..." Everyone was surprised. It was a great thing for the imperial concubine to go into battle. If there was one who did not regret death, everyone hurried out to take a look, but threw the emperor into the tent alone.

"These gangsters are left with me to cook. I'm still hungry!" Seeing everyone running away, Zhao Qi knocked on the table and shouted...

Gao Chong hurriedly lit up a team of soldiers and led everyone to the city with a whip. But from a distance, he heard the sound of shaking tears. Everyone's heart suddenly reached his throat. I was really afraid of anything I was going to do, it shouldn't be

Is something wrong with Zhao Xin? He couldn't help but whip twice on the horse's butt. Everyone's heart was stopped by the guards and brought to the imperial concubine's harem, and they didn't put it in their stomachs when they saw Zhao Xin safe and had nothing to do.

Only then can you have the time to see the source of crying.

"Empress, what do these people do?" Gao Chong looked at the group of men, women, young and old in the city crying, and a circle of people in the city were also crying and wiping tears. The miserable crying made everyone follow him.

Shivering randomly.

"Supervisor Gao, these people are the reinforcements the emperor has found for you!" Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Empress, does Your Majesty want to drive these people to attack the city?" Gao Chong asked with a frown, his face not very good.

"No, Your Majesty wants to use love as a knife to help you break the city!" Zhao Xin shook his head and said... (To be continued)
