This is also the fundamental reason why the Jin Army adopted the tactics of siege and pressure and peace talks, because as long as the Song Army is willing to defend the city wall, the Jin Army will definitely not be able to attack the city.

Unless the great master Guo Jingguo is sent out to dance in the square.

Zhao Ning arrived at the city wall, and the ministers also followed the emperor to the city wall.

When they saw the soldiers around them, they looked panicked and disgusted.

When he saw the Jin army lined up neatly and in darkness outside the city, he was so frightened that his face turned as pale as paper and his whole body trembled.

Li Ruoshui dissuaded him: "It's dangerous here. As an official, I'd better go back to the palace as soon as possible. I can just wait here."

Li Ruoshui is quite knowledgeable, but other officials are not as knowledgeable as him.

Some officials' legs were shaking and their whole bodies felt weak.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Ning looked at the Jin army still lining up below.

In the Jin Army's camp, the follow-up troops are gathering.

Looking down from the top of the city, one can see a large area of ​​darkness, like a rapidly gathering torrent.

The officers shouted loudly and scolded the soldiers.

Before a war, all armies need to be mobilized.

Mobilization is to get soldiers into combat status as soon as possible and increase the group's combat effectiveness.

Elite troops like the Jin Army mobilize very quickly.

After capturing the Liao Kingdom, they captured a large number of siege equipment from the Liao Kingdom, and the Jin people were fully prepared for this siege of Tokyo City.

Tall ladders, catapults, goose carts, etc. were pushed out of the snow.

There are also dedicated people clearing the snow ahead.

The Jin army is composed of Jurchen, Khitan, Bohai and Han ethnic groups.

Among them, there are relatively few Jurchen people, but they are all the best among the best.

The rest are leftovers after the fall of the Liao Kingdom.

Mou Ke (a centurion of the Jin army, usually one Mou Ke was in charge of 300 people) shouted loudly: "Use all your strength!"

I saw tall Bohai tribesmen pushing even taller and heavier catapults.

Of course, in ancient China, this thing was not called a catapult, but a cannon, and it was the cannon next to the stone character.

It was already on the battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period, but it began to evolve during the Song Dynasty.

The reason is simple: firearms began to be used in the military field.

On the side of the Song Army, the Wengcheng was filled with defenders.

There are archers and crossbowmen.

The urn city extends out in a semicircle, so when the Jin army attacks the city, the shooting range of the Song army on the urn city will be very wide.

The Song troops on the city wall are also all ready.

Everyone had finished breakfast in the morning, and all they ate were steamed buns.

Steamed buns in the Song Dynasty were stuffed with meat.

Zhang Shuye is currently coordinating the military rations.

The fact that he was able to get all the supplies for the army in such a short period of time shows how powerful he is.

If it were the idiot Sun Fu, many of the soldiers who were guarding the city would not even have enough to eat and would have to watch Guo Jing open the city gate.

Zhao Ning looked at the Jin Army soldiers who were being mobilized outside the city, and once again felt the overwhelming atmosphere of the ancient battlefield.

The Song-Jin War was the pinnacle of ancient China's cold weapon wars. Both sides would continue to invest, mobilize millions of troops, and carry out brutal and inhumane killings across the land of China.

Now is just the beginning.

And he, an overtime dog of the 21st century, joined this era, this cruel era.

His mentality also began to slowly change during this time.

War is cruel, but war can also temper a person's iron will!

Compared to the day he traveled through time, he looked much calmer now when he looked outside the city again.

He turned around and asked Zhang Bofen: "Bofen, who is the commander-in-chief of Jin Thief's army?"

"It's their marshal Wanyan Zonghan."

"Oh, it turns out to be Wanyan Zonghan."

Just like the first march south at the beginning of this year, the Jin army divided into two groups.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang each led the way.

The marshal is Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongwang is the deputy marshal.

The main promoter behind it was Wanyan Gao, the most powerful official in the Jin Dynasty.

Zhao Ning used his "microphone" to shout: "Who is coming?"

A strong general like Yin Shuke must learn Chinese. After all, the Jin Kingdom annexed the Liao Kingdom, and the backbone of the Liao Kingdom was precisely the Han people.

After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, these high-ranking Han officials entered the Jin court.

In order to better accept the rule, Wanyan Aguda began to require some people in the Wanyan family to learn Chinese.

Yin Shu is one of them, but his Chinese is relatively weak.

Therefore, when the Jin army went south twice, they brought a large number of Han officials with them.

For example, Wanyan Zongwang had Liu Yanzong with him, while Wanyan Zonghan had Ling Ai and others with him.

Yin Shuke shouted loudly: "Yin Shuke! Who is the Song general?"

"I am an official of the Song Dynasty. I asked Wanyan Zonghan to come and talk to me."

When Yin Shuke heard that it was the Emperor of Song, he immediately sent someone to inform him.

"Report! Marshal, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to talk to you."

Wanyan Zonghan was a little surprised: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to talk to me?"

"Yes."

"Where is he?"

"We are currently on top of the city tower."

"What is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty doing?" Wanyan Zonghan became confused.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Marshal, Emperor Song probably felt wary when he saw that we were attacking the city again."

Wanyan Zonghan said: "The city was full of people, and the people of Song Dynasty were in a high mood of resistance today."

"Marshal, I'm afraid that was just a play performed by Emperor Song for us."

"How do you say this?"

"Marshal, think about it carefully, what kind of person was the emperor of Zhao and Song?"

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes were filled with greed: "He is ignorant, afraid of death, and greedy for pleasure. If such a person becomes emperor, it is an excellent opportunity for us!"

"Think about the strength of the Song army again?"

"Xi Yin, all these commanders you mentioned know that the Song army is vulnerable and only superficial. If Bianjing City was not strong, our army would have captured this place long ago, and the Song Dynasty would have perished long ago!"

"Why is the Song army so vulnerable?"

"Of course it's a problem with the Han people themselves. They are just a group of sheep. How can a group of sheep fight with tigers and wolves like us?"

"No! Marshal, please don't look down on the Han people when it comes to war. The Han people have established several dynasties with strong military virtues and once swept across the border. The reason why the Song Dynasty was weak is because of the problems of the Zhao Guan family."

"What does what you said have to do with the situation at hand?"

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was afraid of warriors and was wary of his ministers. Now there is no Li Gang in the city, and most of the ministers in the court are greedy for life and fear of death. The behavior of the Song court over the past year is enough to prove that it is impossible for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to truly unite.

All parties, fight with us."

Wanyan Zonghan seemed to understand Wanyan Xiyin's words, and he said: "You mean, the Song Emperor is boosting morale in the city today, not really to fight us, but to talk with us?"

"That's right."

"Then what was that copy of the Tokyo Daily News we received yesterday?"

At this time, the Han minister Shi Liai came out and said: "Marshal, this is better explained. The Emperor of Song wants to tell us that he knows that we also want to talk to him now, and he wants to be more proactive at the negotiation table."

It’s just status.”

Zhao Ning did not expect that his behavior would be overly analyzed by the generals of Jin Kingdom.

However, this cannot be blamed on the generals of the Jin Kingdom. Their thinking habits are still stuck in the period of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. The Zhao and Song courts were indeed too weak.
