Chapter 222 The golden man goes south

In an instant, the Jin soldiers were in chaos. Jie Yuan ordered people to tie branches on the horse's tail and run around, raising a piece of dust, as if thousands of troops were galloping across the top of the mountain.

Jie Yuan followed the cavalry and rushed into the Jin soldiers' ranks.

"Damn!" Han Shizhong took the lead and swung the big knife in his hand and slashed. Shu Li quickly lifted the gun and took it, but it almost fell off the horse. Before he could recover, Cui Ye's iron spear stabbed over.

Shu Liesu quickly dodged and avoided, Cui Ye rushed over from him. Shu Liesu knew it was not good and was so scared that he wanted to run away. Wen Zhongrong behind had already arrived, and he hugged his head with his big knife.

Shu Lie quickly lowered his head, wiped his scalp and flew over, cutting off his golden helmet.

This scared Shu Liesu so much that his souls were all exposed. He saw dust rolling on the top of the mountain, and he didn't know how many people came, so he hurried backwards.

After Shu Li retreated quickly, the work he left behind was unable to support, so he also retreated.

The Jin soldiers left hundreds of corpses and fled north in chaos. Han Shizhong chased after him for another time before he stopped his mount. Niu Gao came up to meet him at this time and kept thanking Han Shizhong.

"Old Niu, don't say much about us as our own people. Although the Jin people ran away, they won't be able to come back for a long time. Let's retreat quickly!"

Niu Gao's eyes turned and said, "Old Han, I won't say much about our relationship. I think we should build a camp here to scare some Jin people so that they dare not pass through Bailixia at will. We can take the opportunity to retreat."

Han Shizhong's eyes lit up and said, "Old Niu's words are reasonable! Come here, hurry up and report the victory to several adults. We will build a camp here to scare the Jin soldiers and ask them to retreat immediately."

When Dong Cai and Wang Shan heard that Liu Bi's 2,000 army was defeated by 300 Jin soldiers, they were so scared that they would never dare to move forward any further, and they even turned around and ran away.

At this time, Han Shizhong's letter arrived. They had cooperated with the volunteer camp to wipe out the Jin soldiers. The leaders of the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Pucha and Shengguo, were both killed.

Wang Yan applauded and applauded, but Dong Cai and Wang Shan were very unhappy. Niu Gao and Han Shizhong were their opponents, especially Han Shizhong was very arrogant and almost used a knife with Wang Shan, making him, the general manager, very unable to get out of Taiwan.

"Mr. Wang, a victory is not enough to change our situation. After all, there are 60,000 Jin people, and this time it is only a small number of 300 people. Let's find another way!"

The soldier who came back to report the message said, "Report to several lords, Lord Han has decided to build a camp at the valley entrance to deceive the Jin soldiers; and delay their attack time. Please make a decision early."

Wang Yan and the other two looked at each other and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and set up a camp, let's go! This camp can only be hidden for a while, at most it will only take three days. We must withdraw to the city within three days."

The three of them had finished their discussions and no longer cared about it. They quickly ordered their soldiers to pack up their things and leave the camp.

Han Shizhong and others built a camp and checked the harvest. This time, hundreds of Jin soldiers were killed and hundreds of them were damaged. This was mainly because the Volunteer Camp fell halfway. In this case, there was such a large damage ratio, which shows that the Jin people's combat effectiveness was amazing.

But they didn't get anything. This time they also harvested unbearable horses, turning them all into cavalry, and no longer had to be afraid of the enemy's pursuit.

Shu Liesu and Huoligai fled all the way and withdrew from the city of Tunwu County. They cleaned up the defeated generals and sent people to report to Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang was also shocked after receiving the letter. He was worried that the Song army was prepared, so he intended to wait a moment to see the situation of Wanyan Zonghan of the Western Army, and then advance together.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi, who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, had been bought by Wanyan Wuqi and named him Yanjing as the one who stayed in the country. He was given a gold medal and gave him the surname Wanyan clan, allowing him to attack the Song Dynasty with Wanyan Zongwang.

He was very clear about the reality of the Song Dynasty. After hearing Wanyan Zongwang's hesitation, this guy met Wanyan Zongwang and said: The wealth of Bian Jing and the affairs of the palace ban were not comparable to Yanshan. Now the prince's army is very fast, so he can take advantage of this momentum of breaking the bamboo and rushing to the river. The soldiers will definitely win and return without fighting. If you hear that you are prepared, you will shine on the Hebei army and look at the Southern Dynasty to show your prestige. It is not too late to return.

Wanyan Zongwang said this and asked him to lead Guo Yaoshi to lead 1,000 cavalry as the vanguard. Guo Yaoshi said that there were few soldiers, and the Jin people gave him 1,000 cavalry and ordered that the prefectures and counties he passed by were not killed without authorization. Wanyan Zongwang led a 60,000 army to the Central Plains behind him.

It was already January of the first year of Jingkang. Guo Yaoshi brought his troops out of Tunwu County to see through Han Shizhong's Niu Gao's tricks. However, at this time, the reinforcements from the three prefectures had retreated for several days and returned to their own city.

Yaoshi Guo didn't care, so he led the army to continue to move south. It took only a few days to capture more than 30 counties, Baozhou, and come to Zhongshan Prefecture.

Zhongshan is a special prefecture and county seat, with 14 prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction. It is an important military town and storage base in the "Two Rivers" (Hebei, Hedong) area. The city is tall and strong. There are three gates in the urn city alone, and the moat is wide and deep.

In addition, Zhan Du ordered Han Shizhong to reserve a large number of bows, arrows, firecrackers, wooden, thunderstones, and also brought a batch of firearms from Zhending Gaopeng, which can be said to be as solid as a rock.

Wanyan Zongwang led an army of 60,000 to besiege Zhongshan. He first asked Guo Yaoshi to come forward to persuade him to surrender, but was scolded by Zhan Du and returned.

When Wang Shan and Sha Zhen saw the enemy's strong momentum, they were all so scared that their faces were pale. However, Han Shizhong was chatting and laughing with their subordinates, and they didn't care at all. Han Shizhong's wife Liang Hongyu was dressed in military uniform and wearing a big red head. She was also heroic and magnificent.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious and ordered the Jin soldiers to start siege the city. These Jin people seemed to exist for war. They were different from the people of Xixia and Liao. They were not only powerful in field battles, but also in siege cities.

In addition, a large amount of engineering equipment was seized from Yanshan and Baozhou, and they all had high morale and came to the city of Zhongshan.

"Mr. Zhan, please step back and leave it to me!" Han Shizhong saw that Wang Shan was a little timid and stood up unswervingly.

"Brothers! Outside the city are brutal Jin people, and inside the city are our relatives. If these Jin people are allowed to enter the city, our homes and our relatives will be damaged. Can you ask this to happen?"

"No!", "No!" Song Jun raised the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly.

Han Shizhong laughed and said, "Don't listen to others saying that there are only a hundred Jin people, and more than a hundred are invincible! That's all nonsense! When I was the inspector of the Hutuo River, I led more than 100 people to defeat 500 Jin cavalry.

A few days ago, we reinforced Yanshan. My 2,000 horse army defeated Shu Liesu and the Jin soldiers who changed 20,000 yuan.

These golden men also carry a meat ball with two heads, so there is nothing to be afraid of! It will also be a life-threatening knife to slash it up!"

Everyone laughed and their morale suddenly grew. Jie Yuan shouted: "Archer! Come with me!" As he said that, he stepped forward and stood on the city tower.

The archers also came to the city tower to make bows and arrows, ready to attack.

The Jin soldiers came over the horse. They carried a lot of sand and stone pockets and were preparing to fill the moat.

The Jin man's war horse galloped and rushed over quickly. Jie Yuan on the city saw the enemy coming, and suddenly bent his bow and arrow and shot it with a whoosh.

"Ah!" A knight fell off his horse. The archers cheered in the city, and then they also shot arrows. The soldiers who rushed up were shot into a large area.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't think about taking down Zhongshan Mansion once, but this time it was just a test. He smiled and waved.

Some people immediately started to install catapults in the Jin army, and some people introduced chariots and Lv Gongbus. This kind of car was a four-wheel bottomless wooden car with Mengniu leather on the city, and people pushed the cart forward in the car, which could cover the soldiers and soldiers to attack the city wall, but could not directly destroy the city wall.

This kind of car can hide about ten people in one car. According to the "Wu Jing Zongyao", the cart has a low bottom and a top cover, like an axe blade (the ladder plate does not apply to the tray, and the cart can be placed on the ground in the middle), and it is carried with four wheels. The cover is a single rope as the ridge, and it is covered with cow leather. It can cover ten people in the middle, push them to the tomb god, and go straight to the city to attack.

There are also trench bridge vehicles behind. This kind of vehicle is also called "Flying River" or "Flying Bridge". It was a convenient bridge for the siege army to pass through obstacles such as trenches or moats outside the city.

During the Song Dynasty, the trench bridges were generally equipped with wheels and made into vehicles for migration. There are five types of trench bridges in the Song Dynasty. The width of the trench bridge depends on the width of the moat or moat. Most of these trench bridges were made locally after observation during the siege.

The Jin army's sufficient preparation made Han Shizhong and others frown deeply. Seeing the enemy's catapult car slowly advancing, he shouted: "Prepare the catapult lathe crossbow, and knock down the enemy's catapult car for me!"

The huge stones soared into the sky, and the crossbow also began to show its power. This crossbow fired an arrow in front of it like a crescent shovel. Under the huge power of the crossbow, even the logs as thick as a bowl can be cut off at once. If they were shot on a person, they would definitely be broken bones and tendons.

"Boom!" The catapult on the city, relying on its high position and the shooting range is relatively long, suddenly destroyed a catapult of the Jin soldiers.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't care at all. The Jin people's catapult carts were much more than those in Zhongshan Prefecture, and the losses were not enough to worry about.

Soon the Jin people's personnel transport vehicles and tower vehicles rushed up. Han Shizhong suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "Prepare for battle!" The Song soldiers also pulled out their weapons with a sound.

The Jin soldiers shouted, rushed across the moat on the trench bridge, and began to attack the city. They climbed quickly along the ladder toward the city.

Jie Yuan led the archers to fight back, and the Jin people's archers rushed to the edge of the moat and shot archery to cover. The two sides finally began to fight in close combat.
