Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Under the city wall on the east side, more than 500 trebuchets were placed there, and countless huge stones were smashed towards the city wall.

At this moment, the Jurchen defenders in Zhongjing City had already arrived at the city wall. In the dark night, the big stones fell, and immediately the Jurchen defenders were hit.

Some Jurchen soldiers fell to the ground, their legs and feet were broken by the boulder, they kept screaming, but no one came to rescue them.

Under the city wall to the south, nearly 100,000 Song troops attacked the city. All of them held Song crossbows in their hands, and arrows were flying towards it like a rain of arrows.

The Jurchen soldiers above are also fighting back, but the Jurchens mainly shoot on horseback, and the bows and arrows in their hands are also horse bows, and the range is far inferior to that of Song Nu!

In a short period of time, a large number of Jurchen soldiers above have fallen down! Many Jurchen soldiers resisted with shields in their hands, but some still kept falling.

Under the city wall to the west, after a crossbow attack, countless soldiers of the Song Army climbed towards the city wall with ladders.

At the position of the west city gate, the soldiers of the Song Army lifted huge logs and slammed them fiercely towards the west city gate. The west city gate trembled constantly, and the Jurchen was holding it firmly inside.

There was no fighting in the north, but the Song Army's cavalry was looming, and the Jurchens didn't dare to slack off at all, so they could only send people to defend above.

*** ***

It was raining non-stop, and the Song army was besieging the city frantically throughout the night.

The Song Army's hundreds of thousands of troops seem to have all been thrown into the siege battle.

When it was dawn, Jurchens' corpses were everywhere on the city wall. There are also Song Jun's corpses under the city wall, but there are much fewer Song Jun's corpses than the Jurchens' corpses.

Jin Wushu was covered in blood at the moment. He had just led his soldiers to block the new attack of the Song army on the west wall. It seemed that the Song army was about to launch a second wave of attack.

At this moment, Wan Yanchang, Guo Yaoshi and others walked over from a distance.

"How are the casualties here?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"The casualties were very heavy! The Song army is extremely powerful! I thought it was only the Song army in Datong that was powerful, but I didn't expect that the Song army everywhere was equally powerful! We are not good at defending the city, and there are not many defensive materials in Zhongjing City. , it will be even more difficult to resist the Song army." Jin Wushu wiped off the blood on his face, took a deep breath, and said.

It has been many years since the rise of Jin Bing, but after the rise of Jin Bing, he has always focused on attacking, and rarely actively defends the city! They had almost no experience in defending the city, and they did not expect that the Song army would take the initiative to go north, so the materials prepared by Zhongjing City for defending the city were extremely limited.

There are only a few dozen trebuchets in the entire Zhongjing City, and there are no defensive crossbows, and there are no objects such as lumber or boulders for defense. Jin Wushu, Wan Yanchang, and Guo Yaoshi do not know how to defend the city more effectively. .

The Song army below launched a second wave of attack, and Jin Wushu hastily urged the Jin soldiers to continue to block it.

"Can we stop the Song army?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"If the Song army keeps attacking like this, Zhongjing will be breached within a few days! Grand Master, I think we should take the soldiers out and fight the Song army." Jin Wushu said.

"Field battle? There are so many Song Army cavalry in the north waiting for work. Our strength is far inferior to them. If we go out, we will die." Guo Yaoshi sneered.

"How did the situation in the world become like this?" Wan Yanchang stomped his feet.

He didn't expect that the weather and situation would change drastically in just a few years! Especially since this year, first there was chaos in Liaodong, and now the Song army has entered the northern grasslands in an all-round way! If the Zhongjing urban agglomeration is lost and the chaos in Liaodong cannot be restored, then the Kingdom of Jin will almost perish! At this time, Wan Yanchang felt that Jin Guo's strength was indeed not as strong as they imagined! The population of the Kingdom of Jin is limited, and the victories in the past were enough to deter the Khitans or other ethnic groups in the country, but now if they lose, they are not even qualified to make up for it.

"I can only hope that Yelu Dashi and the others will go south soon! Moreover, the Song army must have been extremely exhausted after fighting all night, and they also need to rest!" Jin Wushu said.

However, on September 26, the Song army did not rest for a whole day, and they continued to attack Zhongjing fiercely.

In the morning, the attack on the west side was the most violent. At noon, the attack on the east side became more violent. The eastern city wall was almost defeated by the Song army, and more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers died on the eastern city wall.

In the afternoon, the Song army in the north finally launched an attack.

Han Shizhong personally led the 120,000 infantry of the Datong Military Region to launch a fierce attack on the northern city wall. He climbed the ladder himself! Jin Wushu immediately led tens of thousands of golden soldiers to arrive, and they transported all the defense materials in the city. They didn't stop the Song army until late at night, but this time their casualties were even greater!

"It's been so long, Song Jun must be leaving now!" Seeing Song Jun descending from the city wall like a tide, Jin Wushu heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Fourth Prince, the Song army must be very tired now! They have come all the way from Yuzhou, and they are already extremely tired. They will not attack again tonight. We can rest and discuss how to defend the city." Thousands of people said.

"Not bad." Jin Wushu nodded.

However, in the middle of the night, the Song army's attack still did not stop.

But this time the scale of the attack was much smaller.

Before the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Song Army were attacking the city, only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses attacked the city this night!

These more than 100,000 soldiers and horses mainly attack with bows and crossbows, but occasionally they will suddenly launch a fierce attack on a certain city wall, and they will hold a ladder and move towards a certain city wall.

This night, Jin Bing still couldn't rest, so he could only continue to guard the city wall.

When they woke up in the morning, they realized that there were already countless tents around Zhongjing City.

Last night, the rest of the Song army was resting in the camp.

*** ***

In the early morning of September 27th, the heavy rain that lasted for several days finally stopped, and the sun rose from the east, shining on the grassland.

The scenery is beautiful, more than 100,000 Song troops retreated, the Jin soldiers above just breathed a sigh of relief, and more than 100,000 Song troops who had rested overnight began to participate in the siege!

Jin Wushu didn't rest last night, seeing so many people from the Song army coming now, Jin Wushu felt his scalp tingling.

"If the Song army keeps attacking like this, their number of soldiers and horses is much larger than ours, and their siege weapons are much more sophisticated than ours. At that time, there is only one way to die! Even if we don't die in battle, we will be exhausted. Come on, quickly call out all the clansmen in the city, and let all the clansmen participate in defending the city." Jin Wushu said.

In the morning, 60,000 to 70,000 Jurchens in Zhongjing City came to the city wall to participate in the defense of the city.

Most of these Jurchens are old people, young people, and occasionally some women. They took weapons from soldiers and resisted the Song army.

The attack of the Song Army on this day was still the same as last night, mainly using crossbows, catapults and other siege weapons. Every half an hour they would suddenly launch a fierce attack on a certain city wall!

When the sun set, there were countless Jurchen corpses piled up on the city wall.

"Wu Shu, we can't stop Song Jun anymore," Wan Yanchang said.

"We're going to call everyone in the city to participate in defending the city!" Jin Wushu gritted his teeth.

"All the clansmen in the city have come out!" Wan Yanchang said.

"In addition to our clansmen, there are Khitan people and Han people!" Jin Wushu said.

"This... the strong Khitan and Han people in the capital city have all entered the new attached army, and the rest are listless and powerless people. Most of them are hungry all the year round, and they can't participate in the defense of the city at all. " Wan Yanchang said.

"There's no other way, it's the only way to do it now!" Jin Wushu gritted his teeth.

Zhongjing City used to be the capital of the Liao Kingdom for hundreds of years, and it has a large population. However, since the Jurchen invasion, the population has dropped significantly. Now there are only more than 100,000 Khitans and Hans living here. All Khitans and Hans are thin They were all listless, their expressions were also very dazed, and they didn't know how to resist.

On the night of September 27th, the Song Army once again changed a group of soldiers and horses to participate in the siege! This time, in addition to the 100,000 regular army, there are also 100,000 militiamen participating in the attack! The militiamen of the Song Army are all outstanding members of the production and construction corps, each of them is in their prime of life, and they have often trained in the past, but they have not participated in real wars. Now that the Song army has an absolute advantage, it is just right for them to participate in the battle, and they can also be converted into a regular army when necessary.

Those ordinary people in Zhongjing City who were driven to the city wall fled frantically towards the bottom at the beginning of the battle. The Jurchen soldiers kept intercepting them, but few of them were willing to stay! In the end, it was still the Jurchen soldiers and the Jurchens defending the city.

The Jurchen soldiers and Jurchens were already exhausted, some did not rest for days, and even more Jurchens died that night.
