    Yunzhou.  ¡Ë

    With the arrival of that group of "rabble", the balance of victory has completely tilted to the side of the Song Army. Then with the arrival of Zhang Jun and Liu Kai, the situation of the battle has gradually become clear. Zongze ordered Liu Kai to guard Changqing County because they still  Yehuling was not occupied. Wanyan Zonghan placed heavy troops here to guard it and it was difficult to capture. Therefore, it was necessary to prevent the Jin Army from getting reinforcements from entering the pass again. Fortunately, Changqing County has always been a dangerous place. Once the Song Army controlled this place, the Jin Army  It is absolutely impossible to think of rescuing Yunzhou as easily as Wanyan Zongqian.

    Yunzhou was besieged, which meant that the Jin army in Mingyingzhou became a lone army and was quickly dispersed by the reinforcements from Zhending Mansion.

    As a result, the reinforcements from the entire Yanyun area were in Yunzhou City. Facing Zongze's approaching step by step, Wanyan Zongqian was also forced into the city. To be honest, their cavalry wanted to defeat this army.  The only way for a convoy is to surround the convoy, dig a trench in front, cut off the food and fodder of this convoy, and trap them to death. Otherwise, if you force it, it will almost be a dead end. The key is that after the Song Army's bows and arrows are shot out,  They can be retrieved again because they are all within range.

    Zongze attacked for three consecutive days and was unable to fight hard. After all, Yunzhou City also had tens of thousands of new troops who had just arrived. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Zongze knew that if he continued to attack, the losses would be even more heavy. By then, the Jin army would be reinforced.  As a result, the battle situation may change dramatically, and he does not want to kill more people. In addition, it rained heavily for several days during the period, which hindered the attack. Therefore, he decided to implement a siege strategy and then sent heavy troops to guard the city.  To the northwest of Yunzhou, they were ready for the reinforcements of the Jin Army to arrive, but they must not be allowed to join together. At the same time, Zongze sent people to go around the pass to inquire about the reinforcements of the Jin Army, but  For several days.  No news of reinforcements from the Jin Army was found.

    This made Zongze and Zhao Kai very confused, because they knew that Wanyan Zongqian did not bring a large amount of food and grass, which meant that there must be a supporting army behind him, but now they can't see any signs of the Jin Kingdom rescuing Yunzhou.  , this is really incredible.

    Anyway, they have built fortresses all over the mountains and plains. Even if enemy reinforcements come, they still have the capital to fight. Moreover, under the order of the logistics officer Madman Li, the Song army set up 5,000 catapults near Yunzhou in one day.  Among them, four thousand catapults were erected directly on the mountains on both sides of Yunzhou.

    ¡°Before, these high mountains and ridges caused countless troubles to the Song Army, but now.

    The Song army was condescending, overlooking Yunzhou City. Because it was high, the large catapults could directly bombard Yunzhou City. Zongze ordered that Yunzhou City be bombarded day and night. I would not let the soldiers attack.  I'm going to smash you to death.

    ???????????????????????It is said that there are no stones within a radius of 500 miles in Yunzhou, mixed with explosive packets, and thrown into it as hard as possible.  Master Li estimated when he was idle and bored that if he fought like this for a whole year, he would probably be able to fill Yunzhou City with stones.

    It¡¯s evening again.  The afterglow of the setting sun in the west shines on Yunzhou City again, but it no longer shines like a golden armor like it did a few days ago.  Indestructible, but now it's more like Sunset.

    Under the city.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to eat, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±

    "What are you eating today?"

    ¡°Fish head soup!¡±

    "Haha, fighting with the Privy Council is happiness."

    ¡°When you go out to fight, you can still drink fish soup. This may have appeared in a dream before.

    Now that it has turned into a protracted war, in order to appease the morale of the troops, Li Qi decided to use delicious food to relieve the slackness of the long-term attack and give the soldiers the best living environment. Because Yunzhou has many rivers, there are many rivers and fresh food, so Li Qi asked the navy to go  Fishing was done in various rivers to comfort the soldiers.

    In fact, for so many people, no matter how much fish you catch, it won¡¯t be enough, but this is not a problem for Master Li. In order to satisfy this huge number of people, he used the river fresh food he caught to make a delicious soup, so that the soup can be used  Eat it with the tasteless dry food.

    And the soldiers were very satisfied with the summer-relieving soup they drank every day.

    The aroma of fish soup wafted to Yunzhou City, and the saliva of Jin Jun on the city wall was flowing down. The wall between them was like a world of ice and fire.

    Because Wanyan Zongqian was marching in a hurry, he did not bring much food with him, and it was not enough for self-protection. Wherever there was excess, it was distributed to the defenders in the city. This means that the defenders in the city still rely on the reserves of Yunzhou City, but now the  The reserves are gradually being depleted, and the food supply is suddenly tight. Not to mention that like Song Jun, who likes to eat spicy food, even having a full stomach is now a problem.

    The Jin army on the city wall could only look at the Song army blankly with the spirit of looking at plum blossoms to quench their thirst.

    "Why hasn't Zong Pan come yet?"??

    Wanyan Zonghan waited day after day, but he still didn't hear news about the reinforcements, and he couldn't help but become anxious.

    Wanyan Zongqian squinted his eyes and said, "Based on the distance, Zong Pan should have arrived by now. Could it be ."

    Having said this, the anger stopped. Wanyan Zonghan frowned and said: "If Zong Pan dares to do this, if I go back one day, I will kill him with my own hands."

    Gao Qingyi suddenly said: "Du Tong, there is a shortage of food in the city now. We have to make other plans. We can't put all the pressure on the reinforcements that we don't even have news about."

    Wanyan Zonghan said: "Are you talking about giving up Yunzhou?"

    Gao Qingyi nodded.

    "No. This is absolutely not possible."

    After hearing this, Wanyan Zonghan shook his head repeatedly.

    Wanyan Zongqian also said: "Zong Han, now is not the time to be vindictive. The weather is hot now, which is very unfavorable to us. If there is no news of reinforcements in another three days, we must break out, otherwise the Song army will overrun.  Come more and more.¡±

    Wanyan Zonghan said: "I am not reluctant to leave Yunzhou, nor do I want these tens of thousands of troops to be buried with Yunzhou, but you must not forget that Zong Wang and Xiyin are still fighting in Xixia. If we leave, the main force of the Southern Dynasties will definitely  When we march into Xixia, Zongwang and the others will be attacked from both sides and we must contain the main army of the Southern Dynasty for Zongwang and the others."

    Wanyan Zongqian thought for a while and said: "Let's just go like this. Let's go meet Zongwang and the others and concentrate our forces to destroy Xixia first."

    Wanyan Zonghan pondered for a moment, still hesitated, and said, "Let me think about it for a while."

    It was late at night, and there were only scattered torches burning on the top of the city, but there were no soldiers guarding the surrounding area where the torches were lit.

    In a dark corner.  Two soldiers were nestled inside.

    One person said: "I have never had a good time these days. I can't even stay in a place with light."

    The latter person hummed: "Light? It's important for us to save our lives now. If you have the ability, go and stay under the torch. You don't know that the Song army always throws stones at places with light when attacking at night, so the military advisor asked us to stay here."  Where there is no light.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from three meters away.

    The two men were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other. Although they couldn't see each other, they could feel the other's fear.

    "The Song Army attacked, the Song Army attacked."

    The two of them immediately shouted.

    In the past, the Song army concentrated its firepower on those bright places.  Therefore, Gao Qingyi asked the soldiers to hide in a place without light at night, but Li Qi had always been crafty. He went up the mountain to patrol tonight and found that the torches of the Jin army were lit very strangely. They were gathered together in twos and threes, so he saw through the other's mind and immediately ordered people  Bombard where there is no light.

    The Jin army thought that the Song army would be the same as before, so they all hid in a dark place and slept soundly. Little did they know that the Song army did the opposite.  Suddenly there was chaos on the city, and many soldiers were beaten to death.

    It took another hour of continuous bombing before the Song army stopped attacking.

    Although it didn¡¯t last long, it was bombing day and night.  The soldiers of the Jin Army were exhausted physically and mentally. They had hardly had a good night's sleep these days. How could such soldiers win?

    "Hu¡ª¡ªHu¡ª¡ª!"

    In the darkness, only two heavy breathing sounds could be heard.  These two people were the ones hiding in the corner just now. In just one hour, he had seen dozens of brothers being bombed to death.

    The Song Army's catapult suddenly came out of the blue.  The Jin army was unexpected and suffered heavy losses.

    One person said: "Brother, we can't go on like this. Song Jun is throwing stones day and night. We have to risk our lives even when we sleep. I don't think we can stay here any longer."

    Another person said: "It doesn't matter what you say, I also know that I can't stay here anymore. If I could leave, I would have left long ago, but where can we go if we are surrounded by Song troops?"

    The first person said: "There is a place to go."

    The latter person asked: "Where are you going?"

    The first person lowered his voice and said: "It is to join the Song Army."

    "What?"

    "Oh, please keep your voice down!"

    "You¡ª¡ªyou want to join the Song Army."

    "Don't you think about it? I think the Jin army is exhausted, and the only way out is to join the Song army."

    "But now, will the Song Army accept us?"

    "We are all Han people. We have abandoned the secrets and surrendered to the light. I think the Song Army will accept us. Even if they don't accept us, I can't stay here anymore. I have decided to join the Song Army."??You go or not.  "

    "If I can go, why wouldn't I go? But where are we going from? If we don't get out of the city gate, we will be caught. Humph, we all have that temper. You also know that if we know that we are going to join the Song Army,  , then we will have to be cut into pieces."

    "Don't worry, I have found a way to leave the city secretly."

    "Come and tell me."

    "You don't know, although the military advisor blocked the water gate with stones, there is still a gap on the edge of the big stone just enough for a person to pass through. Aren't we taking turns patrolling that area at midnight the day after tomorrow? Then we will sneak into the water and go out through the water gate.  , Don¡¯t worry, we know all about the traps there. With our two brothers¡¯ agility, we can stay far away from the city gate without anyone noticing. What do you think, do you want to go together?¡±

    "Well¡ª¡ªOkay, let's just take a gamble."

    "Okay, we'll be ready at midnight the day after tomorrow, and we'll leave the city immediately on the fourth watch."

    ?¡­

    The Jin army did not wait for the news of reinforcements, but the Song army waited for the news of Xixia.

    Wu Jie and Wu Lin personally led the army to the Xixia battlefield. The situation in the Xixia war immediately took a huge turn. Xixia began to counterattack on a large scale. Wanyan Zongwang was on the verge of desperation and began to withdraw his troops.

    As soon as this news reached Yunzhou, Zhao Kai and others were overjoyed. This war started from Xixia, so Xixia is the most critical battlefield. If the Jin army destroys Xixia, then their army can directly detour from the west.  Then Yanyun's defense can be bypassed, so the first key to this battle is not Yanyun, but Xixia. Now the Song army has achieved a comprehensive victory in Xixia, and the reinforcements from Yunzhou have not been seen. This battle  The war has been declared to be over.

    Xiazhou.

    When Zhong Shidao was discussing with General Yiqian how to encircle and annihilate Wanyan Zongwang, a general suddenly walked in quickly and said, "Old General, something bad has happened. Wanyan Zongwang did not go to the Jingbian area, but to our direction of Suizhou."  went."

    Master Zhong suddenly stood up, opened his eyes wide and said, "How is this possible?"

    The general said: "Originally, the enemy general Liu Yanzong's violent attack on the Jingbian area a few days ago was just a cover to make us think that they wanted to break out from here and enter the Hetao area. But when Wanyan Zongwang arrived with his army, Liu Yanzong immediately gave up on Jingbian.  area, ran to meet Wanyan Zongwang, bypassed Hengshan, and chose to break out from the Suizhou area of ??our Song Dynasty."

    Suizhou, Jingbian, and Hengshan are equivalent to a triangle. Jingbian is to the west of Hengshan area, and Suizhou is to the east of Hengshan area. Suizhou used to belong to Xixia, but the Song Dynasty took it back during the Xining period and became part of Yan'an Prefecture.  .

    "Around Hengshan?"

    Zhong Shidao blinked. He never expected that Wanyan Zongwang would break out from the Song Dynasty, but¡ª¡ªhe had already transferred the troops from Fuzhou to Xiazhou, leaving Hengshan with no defense.  Then he said: "What about the Xixia army? Aren't they chasing after them?"

    In fact, Zhong Shidao did not have many troops, and he had to guard various intersections, so he only asked the soldiers to hold out for half a day. Within half a day, Li Dingbian's army would feel that although Hengshan's defense was empty, the terrain was relatively dangerous.  , which is why Zhong Shidao did not expect that Wanyan Zongwang would choose to bypass Hengshan, but given the terrain there, there is absolutely no problem in dragging it for half a day. Logically speaking, Li Dingbian's army should have felt it.

    The general said: "On the way to pursue, the Xixia army encountered an ambush from the Jin army, and the pursuit was blocked. Although the ambush has been eliminated, I am afraid that it will be too late."

    Zhong Shidao sighed in annoyance and said: "Then Li Dingbian has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he be so careless at such a critical moment? The enemy's ambush was only two to three thousand people at most. How could he?"  An army of ten thousand was actually held back by two or three thousand, this."
