When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 349: 5-person Treasure Offering Team

Some of the Jin people in the outer city opened their eyes wide, paying close attention to any movement in the direction of the city gate.

Not far from the city gate, a team of three people were crouching there quietly, watching the situation at the north gate from afar.

Time passed minute by minute, and the three men looked at the city gate from time to time.

Suddenly, the city gate that was originally tightly closed slowly opened a gap!
Seeing this scene, the three of them instantly showed surprise on their faces.

It turned out that the three of them were spies specially arranged by Wanyan Zonghan to watch here.

Before setting off, Wanyan Zonghan had clearly told them that if they found that the Song Dynasty emperor was leading his troops here to offer treasures, once the city gates were opened, they must immediately bring this important news back to the camp.

These three people have a clear understanding of the current battle situation.

The outer city of the Song Dynasty's capital had long been breached by the Jin army, and now only the inner city was making its last desperate struggle.

Under such circumstances, the city gate will naturally not be opened easily.

Therefore, the only reason that could open the city gate was probably that Emperor Song personally brought people to offer treasures.

Seeing the city gate just opened, one of the three people quickly stood up and muttered, "Damn it, we are finally here. I have been waiting here for so long! You two continue to watch here. I will go back and report the good news to the general right away."

Hearing this, another person came forward and said with a flattering smile: "Captain, let me take care of this little thing. You just rest here."

However, the man called the captain glared at him unceremoniously and shouted, "What do you mean by a small matter? This is a major matter concerning the overall situation. You just stay here and watch. If there is any mistake, I will not forgive you!"

After saying that, the captain jumped on his horse, raised the whip and whipped the horse's back hard, then galloped towards the tent where Wanyan Zonghan was like an arrow.

The sound of horse hooves echoed across the empty wilderness, as if foreshadowing that a major change was about to happen.

"Humph, after all, it's all for the reward!" one of them muttered with disdain.

Another person echoed: "That's right. If we report the news, the Marshal will be happy and may even give us a great credit."

Although they were somewhat reluctant, the two had no choice but to continue squatting where they were, their eyes fixed on the front.

At this time, the city gate slowly opened a crack.

Then, a group of neatly dressed and awe-inspiring soldiers walked out of the city gate calmly and powerfully.

The two people who were crouching and watching not far away took in the entire scene.

"I never thought that the Emperor Song was so particular about pomp and circumstance! Look at these soldiers fully clad in armor. Instead of fighting bravely on the battlefield, they came here to make a scene. It's such a waste!"

One of them couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

Another person said, "That's right! Such fine armor is actually worn by these cowardly guys. Look, they don't even have a decent weapon in their hands, they just hold a broken stick."

His words were full of contempt and disdain for this group of soldiers.

"Alas, what a waste! It would be great if these armors could belong to us... I hope the Marshal can find a way to get them all back."

The two men whispered to each other while continuing to watch this impressive-looking team intently.

However, as time went by, they began to have doubts in their hearts.

"It's a bit strange, why do so many people come out all of a sudden?" The person who spoke first frowned and looked puzzled.

The companion beside him was also puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he guessed: "Could it be that they are not here to present treasures to us?"

As soon as this idea came up, it was immediately denied by the other party: "That shouldn't be the case. Look, they don't even have a weapon with them. I guess it's because the number of treasures they want to offer is so large that they have to send so many people to escort them."

"It's possible. Look at those small cars. There is something with a tube on it. It looks very heavy. It must be a good thing."

The two of them squatted there, looking suspiciously at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, trying to find some clues from them.

A stick of incense passed quietly as the two stood there quietly, their bodies and minds seemed to have fallen into a state of near numbness.

Looking at the tall and heavy city gate from afar, a steady stream of soldiers filed out of it.

The two of them stared at the scene intently, secretly evaluating it in their hearts.

A rough calculation shows that the number of soldiers leaving the city has exceeded 50,000!
And what is surprising is that these soldiers, without exception, all wore uniform armor.

One of them couldn't help but sighed: "I've heard that the Song Dynasty is extremely wealthy. Today, I see that it's true! These tens of thousands of soldiers are all wearing heavy armor."

Another person nodded in agreement and continued, "Fortunately, the Song troops we encountered before were not so well-equipped, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win."

At this time, the man who spoke first suddenly frowned and said suspiciously, "But speaking of which, is there something wrong with the brain of Emperor Song? He has so many high-quality armors, but he doesn't let the soldiers fighting on the front line wear them. Instead, he uses them to decorate the facade of the city gate. It is really ridiculous! To be honest, I even suspect that they went out of the city to fight."

The person beside him thought for a moment and shook his head to deny it. "In my opinion, it's definitely not the case. Look, although they are numerous and fully armed, they only have sticks in their hands. No one is carrying bows, crossbows, swords or other weapons. I guess they are worried that we will misunderstand them."

At the same time, in the imperial palace in the inner city, the atmosphere was extremely solemn and depressing.

All the civil and military officials in the court had gloomy faces as they stood solemnly in the magnificent hall.

At this moment, the capital of the Song Dynasty seemed to be in a dark abyss, and a suffocating atmosphere of tension permeated the air.

The Jin soldiers, as ferocious as wolves and tigers, have surrounded this prosperous and bustling city, with three layers of troops inside and outside, like a solid wall of steel.

The entire city was crumbling and in danger, and it could be breached by the enemy and completely fell at any moment.

Once the city gates were lost, the people in the city would probably become prisoners of the Jin soldiers and be at their mercy.

The huge wealth obtained through corruption and bribery in the past no longer has the chance to be squandered and enjoyed.

There is a high possibility that these ill-gotten gains will be taken away by the greedy Jin people, and not a single cent will be left.

Not only that, even the lofty status and power they currently possess will become nothing and disappear without a trace.

Even if the two sides can eventually resolve the crisis through peace talks and let the Jin soldiers withdraw from the area, this humiliating history will still leave a deep mark in history books.

Whenever someone mentions this dynasty in the future, the word "shame" will inevitably become a topic that cannot be avoided.

Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in their hearts.

He secretly regretted why he was so greedy for power and used all means to exclude those capable and skilled generals.

Why were they so greedy and wantonly embezzled precious military supplies?

If I had been able to restrain my desires and behaviors a little bit, perhaps I wouldn't be in this situation today.

"Where is His Majesty now?" someone asked worriedly.

"We don't know either. I guess His Majesty is furious somewhere now." Another person answered helplessly.

Everyone expressed their indignation and dissatisfaction towards the arrogant and disrespectful Jin soldiers.

"These Jin people have absolutely no manners at all! They are so bold as to openly humiliate our honorable Majesty!" a minister said angrily.

"Humph! They are nothing but a group of uncivilized barbarians. Even if their military strength is strong for a while, they are ultimately just a group of rude and ignorant soldiers." Another official sneered with disdain.

Although filled with anger and resentment, everyone still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the two sides would be able to successfully reach a peace agreement during the next meeting, thus ending this terrible nightmare.

When everyone was talking about it.

A soldier came running over.

"My Lords, something terrible has happened. The North City Gate has been lost!"

The entire court was filled with chills, as if they were in an icy cave. "How could this be? Aren't the Jin people always outside the city, waiting for us to present treasures with their mouths wide open?"

"Could it be that they changed their minds?"

"Your Majesty, go find him quickly. Only with your Majesty's presence can we return to the negotiation table."

The soldier who came to deliver the message shook his head and said, "My lords, it was not the Jin soldiers who were attacking the city. It was a large army of unknown purpose, a hundred thousand people, who suddenly appeared in the city and attacked the city gates. The north gate fell into their hands, and they opened the city gate and marched towards the Jin army."

The ministers were stunned for a moment.

After a few seconds, everyone showed angry expressions.

"Who on earth is that? How dare he surrender to the Jin people!"

"No matter who it is, I will spit on him when I see him next time!"

"There aren't many generals who can command 100,000 men, and they are all here. Who are they?"

"Do you think it could be His Majesty?"

"No, if your majesty wants, there is no need to attack by force."

"Let's ask His Majesty to see if he knows clearly."

The Jin army’s camp.

The team leader has passed on the news that the city gate is open.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongmou looked at each other, their faces filled with pride.

"Haha, it looks like Emperor Song is here."

"I didn't expect that Emperor Song would be able to raise what we need so quickly."

"The Song Dynasty is richer than I thought. I thought it was richer before, but now I realize that I was poorer."

"We can't do anything about it. Poverty has limited our thinking. When Emperor Song offers this batch of gold and silver treasures, we will find a reason to ask him to pay us some labor fees. After all, it is very hard for us to come from afar to besiege the capital of the Song Dynasty."

"Hahahaha, I'll do as you say."

"Originally I didn't plan to let him go back this time, but it looks like I can let him enjoy himself for a while."

The two discussed how to humiliate each other when Song Qinzong arrived.

Then ask for those things again.

A soldier ran in hurriedly.

"Marshal, it's bad. An army of 50,000 people is heading here."

Wanyan Zonghan and the other man stood up at once.

"What's going on? 50,000 troops?"

"Where did they come from?"

The soldier said hurriedly: "From the north gate of Kaifeng inner city."

Wanyan Zonghan said with disdain: "It turned out to be the Song army. Could it be that they want to make a last-ditch effort?"

"General, I have carefully observed that this army does not carry any weapons, but only holds a stick."

Wanyan Zonghan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Damn it, you made me worry for a moment."

Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said, "It seems that there are too many things, so they sent people to escort them. They were afraid that we might misunderstand, so they didn't bring weapons."

Zhu Di led the coalition forces of all dynasties forward.

Use a telescope to observe the location of the golden man.

"Strange, didn't these golden men notice us? Why didn't they react at all?"

Zhu Ming couldn't help but say, "It's impossible. Several waves of spies have already gone back to report the news. They probably thought we were the Song army, coming to deliver gold and silver treasures."

Old Zhao looked grim. "Even if they are sending treasures, a team of tens of thousands of people must be on guard and defend. How much do they look down on the Song army? The father and son, Emperor Qinzong and Emperor Huizong, are such bastards. I suddenly want to throw them both to the Jin people and let them humiliate them."

Wan Chao Zhu Di sneered: "I didn't expect these Jin people to be so arrogant. Let's see how they cry later."

"Since they are ignoring us, it will save us a lot of trouble. Three Li Jings, each leading thirty soldiers, will go around to the rear and sides of the enemy. There is no need to get close and wait for the teleport. We can directly surround them when the time comes."

The three Li Jings led a small team to take a detour.

The Jin generals saw this from a distance but did not intercept them.

After all, there are only twenty or thirty soldiers and horses, not two or three thousand cavalry, so they can't play any role.

We just arranged a few people to go over and monitor it.

The walkie-talkie on Zhu Di's waist rang.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Kaihuang Li Jing has arrived!"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Wude Li Jing has arrived at the location!"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Zhenguan Li Jing has arrived at the location!"

Zhu Di smiled softly: "Well done."

Move forward slowly.

Until they were within the range of the cannons.

The Jin people still did not take it seriously and only sent a cavalry of several thousand people.

General Wanyan Loushi looked at Zhu Di arrogantly.

His face was full of displeasure: "Hey, why didn't your emperor come?"

Zhu Di chuckled: "Your Majesty is behind."

That’s right, Old Zhao was right behind Zhu Di at that moment.

"Good, you know the rules. Now, all of you dismount and bring out the gifts for this general to examine. If I find any weapons hidden inside, I will not forgive you."

Zhu Di's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and he shouted loudly: "Come here, push all our cannons over here!"

Hundreds of cannons were neatly lined up in a small square formation, with their muzzles aimed at the Jin camp ahead.

Wanyan Loushi had never seen a cannon before, so he looked at it curiously: "What is this?"

"cannon!"

Wanyan Loushi frowned and said, "I've never heard of it. It looks like a lump of iron. You guys in the Song Dynasty probably wouldn't treat a lump of iron as a treasure. Tell me what it's used for."

Zhu Di said with a wicked smile: "As for its use, it is naturally used to kill the Jin people!" (End of this chapter)
