Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The Song Army came to Yanzhou City on the afternoon of the tenth day of February. They did not launch an attack immediately, but transported the siege weapons to the gates of the city first! The 100,000 Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army and the 50,000 Huanqing Army surrounded Yanzhou City from all directions! The 10,000 soldiers of the Imperial Battalion are stationed far away! Zhao Chen stood on a hill, watching the scene of Yanzhou City!

At this moment, on the south wall of Yanzhou City, Ren Duo Awu, the general of Yanzhou City, was also frowning looking at the scene below! He is the grandson of the famous Xi Xia general Ren Duo Lone Ding. He was taught by his grandfather since he was a child. He also invaded Guanshan with his father Ren Duo Baozhong and fought against the Western Army! He has an unusual understanding of the Western Army, but in his eyes, the Song Army below is very different from the original Western Army!

The war has not yet begun, and he cannot hear the slightest noise! The army below seems to be a machine, and it doesn't make a sound at all! Only the occasional sound of the general's order and the voice of the messenger soldier can be heard! The order and formation of the army below was unusually neat, and it was the first time he had seen such an orderly army! They surrounded Yanzhou City from all directions, and there was not even the slightest gap in the middle!

"I heard that the crown prince of Emperor Jingkang of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne in Hanzhong, leading Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Guanshan. His territory and population were only half of that of the Song Dynasty, and his military strength was far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty! But , how can the army below be better than the Song Xi army?" Ren Duo Wu said in disbelief.

"General, the Han people have always been cowardly and incompetent! I think they are also superficial, not worth mentioning!" The lieutenant next to him said dismissively.

"You must not have such an idea! If so, they will not be able to break through Hongzhou and Youzhou!" Ren Duoa Wu said.

"The only reason they were able to break through Hongzhou and Youzhou was because they were caught off guard! If they were in a regular battle, they would never be able to break through Hongzhou and Youzhou! Today, I have 40,000 elite troops stationed in Yanzhou City, and you, General Renduo, will guard them personally , It is absolutely impossible for them to break through Yanzhou City! Waiting for the arrival of the army from the court, they have only one end to die!" said the lieutenant general.

"We still have to be more careful!" Ren Duo Ah Wu said.

"General, it's impossible for them to launch an attack today!" said the lieutenant general.

Ren Duo Wu nodded!

He once fought against the Western Army, so he knows Song people very well! The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were extremely lazy. They usually fought during the day, and at night the soldiers had to rest, so they didn't fight at night! Of course, after more than a hundred years, the Xixia army and the Song army are roughly not far behind! Now the soldiers of the Xixia army are also extremely lazy. They often fight for two or three hours before the soldiers have to rest! In the past, on the battlefields between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, the two armies often retreated at the same time with a "tacit understanding", letting the soldiers rest, and continuing to fight until the next day! From Ren Duo Wu's point of view, Song Jun should be doing the same now! They have traveled for a long time and came to Yanzhou, and now they must rest below!

Ren Duo Wu was even thinking about whether to send someone to steal the camp, but after thinking about it carefully, Ren Duo Wu felt that Song Jun had just arrived today, so he must be cautious, stealing the camp today would definitely not have any effect! After ten days, he would send someone to steal the camp again, and naturally he would be able to wipe out the Song army in one fell swoop!

"My grandfather and father are famous generals of the generation, and I, Renduo Wu, should also become a famous general! This time, I will use the blood of the Han people to establish my meritorious service!" Renduo Wu secretly said.

The sky was getting dark, and the Xixia soldiers on the city wall were getting tired. Many Xixia soldiers were already yawning! Some Xixia soldiers have already fallen asleep leaning against the city wall!

However, at this moment, fierce drums sounded from below!

In the sound of war drums, an army of 150,000 launched an attack on Yanzhou City!

This time they forcibly attacked the city without any conspiracy! Both Li Xianzhong and Liu Qi are famous generals in history. They both know that the news that Hongzhou and Youzhou have been breached must have reached Yanzhou, and now they can only forcibly attack the city!

The Xixia soldiers on the city wall couldn't believe it. It was already dark, and the Song army didn't even take a rest. They launched an attack at this time!

Ren Duo Wu frowned, and immediately led the soldiers to resist!

The art of war says "ten times encircle it", which means that when attacking a city, the attacking party must have ten times as many troops as the defending party to ensure victory! At this moment, although the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army and the Huanqing Army have a large number of troops, they are only four times that of the enemy! However, the actual combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army in Northern Shaanxi and the Huanqing Army far exceeds that of the Western Army and Xixia Army of the same strength!

Less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, Ren Duo Wu realized something was wrong! It is also the Song Army, and the combat effectiveness of the following Song Army is ten times that of the previous Western Army! He can't believe it! Why did the Song army, which should have become weaker after just a few years, suddenly become so powerful?

From the dark on the tenth day of February to the dawn on the eleventh day of February, the flames of war will never go out!

All the Xixia soldiers in the city were sent to the city wall, and even then they barely blocked the attack of the army below!

"General, it's been a night, and the soldiers can hardly bear it anymore!" The deputy general came to Ren Duo A Wu's side and said.

"Don't worry, the Song army must be exhausted! They should also retreat!" Ren Duo Wu said.

After a night of fierce fighting, any army must be exhausted to the extreme! In Ren Duo Wu's heart, there is only one army in the world that can continue to fight overnight, and that is the Jurchen army! The Jurchen's fighting will is far stronger than that of Xixia people and Han people! But the following are only Han Chinese, not Jurchens! Even if their fighting power becomes stronger, their fighting will cannot be improved in a short period of time!

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the Song army below shows no sign of stopping! Ren Duo Wu frowned slightly!

An hour had passed since dawn, and the Song army below still showed no sign of stopping! Ren Duo Wu has already realized that something is wrong!

It was already noon, and the Xixia soldiers were listless, while the Song army below continued to move forward, as if they didn't know how tired they were! By this time, Ren Duo Wu's body had already started to tremble!

*** ***

On the hill in the distance, Zhao Chen has been standing there since last night!

"Your Majesty, we are going to win!" Qu Duan said as he came behind Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen nodded!

"More than ten years ago, when Jurchen was just rising, Emperor Daojun wanted to unite Jin to fight against Liao Dynasty! On that day, Emperor Daojun sent Ma Zhi to the north to meet Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguda! Ma Zhi saw Wanyan Aguda, Wanting to present his credentials, Wanyan Aguda told Ma Zhi that he was very busy now, so he had to wait another day! During that day, under the watchful eyes of Ma Zhi, an army of 100,000 Jurchen captured Shangjing in Liao Kingdom in just one day! After returning, Ma Zhi was shocked, and he told Emperor Daojun about this, but Emperor Daojun didn't take it seriously! Today, our Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army and Huanqing Army also broke through Yanzhou City in just one night! This battle is completely a strong attack. The slightest trick! The strength of our army is no longer inferior to the golden soldiers led by Wanyan Aguda!" Yu Yunwen laughed.

"This city of Yanzhou can't be compared with Shangjing City of Liao Kingdom at all! Shangjing City is the capital of Liao Kingdom. Its defense is strong and its military strength is far better than Yanzhou City in front of us! Wanyan Aguda is a peerless genius No one in our Song army can compare with him!" Zhao Chen smiled and shook his head.

Wanyan Aguda and Genghis Khan, these are the two most powerful ethnic minorities in Chinese history! Because Wanyan Aguda passed away early, he didn't have time to lead his troops south! If Wanyan Aguda had lived another ten years, the Great Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago! After Wanyan Agu was beaten to death, the Kingdom of Jin gradually degenerated, and the current Jin soldiers are no longer as elite as before! Moreover, the military talents of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Wushu and others cannot be compared with Wanyan Aguda! In Zhao Chen's view, even Yue Fei can hardly compare to Wanyan Aguda! When Wanyan Agu fought with only 2,000 soldiers, he was able to defeat many times with less. In the earliest days, he had to defeat almost ten times as many enemies every time! It was he who created the myth that "the Jurchens are invincible", and this myth was not broken until after his death.

But now, although Zhao Chen admired Wanyan Aguda very much, he didn't think that Song Jun was no match for Jin Bing back then! Since the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, the command system in the army has undergone tremendous changes. This is an advanced command system that is a thousand years ahead of this era! Although Wanyan Aguda is a genius, he created the military system of ten thousand commanders, thousand commanders, and centurion commanders. The command of the army is simple and direct, but it is impossible to compare with the army of various countries and the two world wars after a thousand years. Advanced command system!

boom!

At this time, a wall of Yanzhou City began to collapse! Song Jun below gave out earth-shattering cheers!

They rushed forward even harder!

The faces of the Xixia soldiers above changed drastically at this moment, including Ren Duo and Ah Wu, who knew that Yanzhou City could not be kept!

"One night! In just one night, Yanzhou City was breached? Is Yanzhou City with a garrison of 40,000 troops so vulnerable?" Ren Duo Wu couldn't believe it!

boom!

There was another loud noise, and in the east, dozens of trebuchets attacked the city wall, and another part of the city wall collapsed!

On the northern city wall, more than 3,000 Song soldiers have rushed up at this moment! These more than 3,000 Song soldiers are struggling to move forward! After another quarter of an hour, the number of Song troops on the northern city wall had reached 10,000!

On the north wall, Xixia soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, begging for surrender!

The gate to the north is open!

At this moment, on the east wall, those Xixia soldiers also began to kneel down and surrender! They don't have the courage to fight to the end! In fact, in this era, if history remains unchanged, no one will fight to the death except the Jurchens! Of course, now that history has changed, Zhao Chen's army is absolutely determined to fight to the last man!

The weather, which was still cloudy at first, turned out to be sunny at this moment!

The midday sun shone on the earth, and the fighting slowly stopped!

Ren Duo Wu is also kneeling on the ground at this moment, and he has already surrendered!

The city gates on all sides opened, and Zhao Chen entered Yanzhou City surrounded by countless soldiers!

"The news should have reached Xingqing Mansion by now, right?" Zhao Chen stood on the city wall of Yanzhou, looking to the west.

"Already almost a month has passed, the news of the battle must have reached Xingqing Mansion!" Qu Duan nodded and said.

"Pass down the order to let the army rest in Yanzhou City for a few days! Repair the walls of Yanzhou City for me! Let's wait for the main force of Xixia to arrive!" Zhao Chen said.

This is a decision made by the General Staff Headquarters from the very beginning. After taking Yanzhou City, they will not continue to march, but wait here for the main force of Xixia! According to the combat plan of the General Staff Headquarters, there will be an annihilation battle against the hundreds of thousands of Xixia main forces!
