People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Chapter 501 The Jin Army sieges the city

Seeing this soldier covered in heavy armor, the generals and soldiers on the city wall all took a breath. The combat effectiveness of such a large number of heavy infantry is simply invincible. Even heavy cavalry would not dare to charge into such a heavy infantry phalanx. Firstly, the cost is too high, and secondly, once trapped, it is basically a dead end.

What's more, they also deployed light cavalry on the left and right wings of these heavy infantry phalanxes. Even more terrifying are the light infantry phalanxes and heavy cavalry in the rear.

"Mom, it must be at least one hundred thousand."

Some veterans counted them and exclaimed.

"It's the Golden Army, it's definitely the Golden Army, a hundred thousand Golden Army..."

Some soldiers on the city gate were trembling with fear. This was a ferocious Jin army, and its combat effectiveness was no weaker than that of the Xixia army.

"Hurry, return to your place quickly, everyone is ready, and anyone who is timid will be killed!"

The city gate guard immediately began to organize. In fact, he was also panicking, but in order to defend Xiyun City, he could not panic.

As a general, if he panics, then the battle will not be fought.

Yang Yunshan, who had been busy all night, had only been sleeping for less than two hours when he heard the sound of drums and he got up immediately.

He quickly dressed and walked out, and happened to meet the deputy general who came to report: "General, a hundred thousand gold army is attacking and has already arrived at the gate of the west city."

"One hundred thousand gold army..."

Yang Yunshan's expression changed slightly. He had been stationed at the border all year round, so he naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, and this invasion of the Song Dynasty was all elite troops.

"Whose flag is the Jin Army flying?"

Yang Yunshan asked.

"The flag is flying under the banner of Wanyan. There was news before that the general Wanyan Jin from the Jin Kingdom came this time, and the Pingyang Army came."

The lieutenant replied.

"The Kingdom of Jin has six major legions, and the Pingyang Legion ranks second."

Yang Yunshan's face was very solemn, and he continued: "This Pingyang Army was created by Song Pingyang, the Yuanshi of the Jin Dynasty. It is extremely powerful. Both the military formation and the configuration are the same as our Song Army."

"Surname Song?"

The deputy general looked a little strange. What he was thinking was that this person was from Song Dynasty?

"Yes, this person's surname is Song, and he is also from our Song Dynasty. He was also a general on the border, but unfortunately he was killed by the traitorous officials of the imperial court, and his family was killed by the imperial court. He fled to the Kingdom of Jin alone, and later became When he reached the position of Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin, he single-handedly created the Pingyang Army that dominated the world. "

Yang Yunshan sighed and said.

The deputy general was astonished. It was incredible that a Song man could become the marshal of the Jin Kingdom.

This lieutenant general was still young and did not know that the Kingdom of Jin was different from other countries. The Kingdom of Jin learned from the Song Dynasty from top to bottom, especially if the people of the Song Dynasty were really talented, they would be reused by the Kingdom of Jin when they arrived.

It was under such an environment that the Pingyang Army was built with all the efforts of the Jin Kingdom, and it was modeled after the Song Dynasty army.

"Let's go to the city gate!"

Yang Yunshan immediately led his lieutenants and soldiers to the city gate and looked at the army outside the city.

He knew that the Jin Army was powerful, but he did not expect that the Jin Army was so powerful. Looking at the dark Jin Army outside the city, Yang Yunshan's face had never looked ugly.

"Aren't they going to attack the city? Why do they put the heavy infantry at the front?"

the lieutenant asked.

Heavy infantry is used for field battles. Even though the physical strength of the Jin soldiers is much stronger than that of the Song soldiers, they still carry dozens of kilograms of armor, plus the weight of other weapons, which exceeds a hundred kilograms. Such a huge weight cannot wait until they run down the city. , I guess I have no strength left.

Therefore, it is not a wise move to put the heavy infantry at the front, unless he wants to draw the Song army out of the city for a decisive battle.

After Yang Yunshan observed for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "It's possible that they were surrounded but not attacked."

"The city is under siege, but there are no abnormalities in other city gates."

The deputy general said with a strange expression.

Generally, when sieging a city, either all city gates are surrounded, or three are surrounded, but one is missing. I have never heard of only one city gate being surrounded.

Yang Yunshan's eyes flickered, and he said solemnly: "What he wants is Xiyun City. If we retreat, they can take Xiyun City without a single blow. This is their real purpose, so besiege one side and surround three sides." Same effect."

"I see."

The lieutenant nodded.

Yang Yunshan continued: "Moreover, it can also paralyze us. Once we mobilize the troops from other city gates to support him, he can take them by surprise. However, let's take a look again. The Pingyang Army is very powerful, but it is a field battle. , If you attack a city, you may not be able to exert such combat power."

"By the way, have you sent someone to notify Mr. Lu?"

Yang Yunshan asked again.

"We have sent people there and should be back by this time."

The deputy general said.

After a while, the two lieutenant generals who had informed Lu Chen came back in a panic.

Seeing the two of them in such a mess, the deputy general's face darkened and he asked, "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to inform Mr. Lu? How did you end up in this state?"

The soldier on the left said aggrievedly: "We went to notify him, but we didn't see Mr. Lu, only Miss Azi. We asked to see Mr. Lu, but Miss Azi refused to let us see him, and teased both of us. After a while.”

"Why not let you see me?"

the lieutenant asked.

"Then Miss Azi said that Mr. Lu is practicing and no one can disturb him. If we bother him again, he will not tease us, but will kill us."

The soldier on the right said equally aggrievedly.

"You are so impudent that you even dare to touch my own soldiers."

The deputy general was so angry that he wanted to lead people to find trouble for A Zi.

"Okay, you guys go down and rest."

Yang Yunshan waved his hand and asked them to go down to rest, and then said to the lieutenant: "You are also a martial arts practitioner, and you should know that it is most important not to disturb your practice. Since Mr. Lu is practicing, let's not disturb him. We should still think about how to bring Xi "Hold on to Yuncheng."

"That's what the general said."

The lieutenant lowered his head and responded.

"Pass my general's order. All soldiers are ready to go to the city wall at any time. In addition, we will recruit strong men immediately and prepare to roll stones, make bows and arrows, and make gold soup."

Yang Yunshan said with an extremely solemn expression.

"Yes, General!"

The lieutenant turned to leave.

"Wait, there is one more thing. Give me an order to send people to patrol the streets. If there are any local gangsters who dare to cause trouble in the city at this time, they will be killed immediately."

Yang Yunshan said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The deputy general immediately went down to execute it.

Yang Yunshan looked at the Jin army outside the city, his face extremely solemn. Seeing the Jin army like this, it was only a matter of time before they attacked.

Outside the city, the general at the rear of the Jin Army and a group of Jin Army generals were standing on a high slope looking at Xiyun City.

Wanyan Kang was also among them, and he was right next to Wanyan Jin.

"According to the information we have inquired about, there are not many troops in Xiyun City. If the four gates are so divided, there will not be many troops left."

A general said.
