"Quickly open the city gates!"
On the city wall of the Daming Mansion, when the general of the Jin army, Wanyan Chang, saw the dying Pu Chaha, his heart sank.
Because the white feather arrow on Pu Chaha's back was an arrow from the Song army!
Many days ago, Emperor Zhao Kai of Song used the same arrow to shoot the butt of the commander of the Jin army, Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang was bleeding profusely and was seriously injured. Until now, Wanyan Zongwang was still lying on the bed recuperating!
"What happened? Who's here?"
After welcoming Pu Chaha into the city, Wanyan Chang asked anxiously. He could see that Pu Chaha only had one breath left.
"Emperor Song…Zhao Kai!"
After Pu Chaha squeezed out these words with difficulty, he breathed his last on the spot. As for the more detailed military reports, such as the strength of the Song army, he did not have the time to say a word.
It was also because of this that Wanyan Chang, who heard the news, had an incomparably solemn expression at this moment.
He only knew that Zhao Kai had come, but he did not know how Zhao Kai had crossed the river, how many people he had brought, or where he had marched to!
This imperceptibly made Wanyan Chang, who had seen Zhao Kai's power, feel a kind of psychological pressure towards the unknown!
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
It was dangerous to not know the enemy's situation!
Because of the unknown, it was not easy to make a corresponding response at the first moment!
For example, the last time the Jin army was attacked at night, it was because they did not know that the Song army would dare to attack the Jin camp at night, so they were caught off guard and lost so miserably!
Even Wanyan Zong Wang almost lost his life!
In fact, this was the reason why Zhao Kai deliberately let go of the messenger of the Jin army who was half-dead. Before he led the army to the Daming Mansion, he had already created a mysterious pressure on the Jin army. This was a psychological attack!
"Men, send scouts out of the city to inquire about the Song army. At the same time, close the four gates and be on guard!”
Wanyan Chang was a veteran general of the Jin army. Even though he was perturbed in his heart, his face remained calm.
Just as he finished arranging all this and was about to go to the marshal's manor to report to Wanyan Zong Wang, Wanyan Zong Wang also received the news. He was lying on a stretcher and was escorted by a group of personal guards.
Beside Wanyan Zongwang, there was a middle-aged man wearing the official robe of Great Song. However, the expression of the middle-aged man was somewhat unnatural.
"Where is Zhao Kai? How many soldiers are there? How did he cross the Yellow River?”
As soon as Wanyan Zong Wang came up, he threw out three questions in a row. Because he was too excited, the wounds on his body were pulled until they hurt.
Wanyan Chang immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head."Commander-in-chief, we don't know anything about this. The scout only said that Emperor Song Zhao Kai had come. Before he could say anything else, he died of serious injuries.
The only thing we know now is that the military stronghold ten miles away from the Yellow River must have been wiped out by Zhao Kai!”
"Hiss!"
After Wanyan Zong Wang heard this, he immediately frowned and took a deep breath."This Zhao Kai's methods are truly shocking!
Not long after he killed the emperor and usurped the throne, he sent troops to the northern expedition.
Moreover, he actually dared to lead his army across the Yellow River when it was floating with ice!”
Indeed, the speed of Zhao Kai's actions far exceeded Wanyan Zongwang's expectations.
Wanyan Zongwang's original plan was to stay in the Daming Mansion and recuperate while waiting for the arrival of the Jin Kingdom's follow-up army so that they could send troops south again to take revenge!
However, he never expected that before he could take revenge, Zhao Kai would be one step ahead and cross the river to the north!
On the other side, Wanyan Chang got close to Wanyan Zong Wang and said in a low voice with some hesitation,"Marshal, we can still temporarily retreat before the Song army arrives.
After all, it will take some time for our reinforcements to arrive. The Daming Manor only has around 20,000 people.
If Zhao Kai brings hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I'm worried about your safety…"
Wanyan Chang hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Wanyan Zong Wang,"Impossible!
Although Zhao Kai was powerful, he had killed the emperor and seized the throne. There would definitely be people in Song who would oppose him, including King Kang Zhao Gou and the old emperor Zhao Ji. They would not acknowledge Zhao Kai!
It was already a lot for him to have an army of 50,000!
Moreover, no matter how he crossed the river, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties on the Yellow River. The troops he brought this time would definitely not be too many!
This Zhao Kai was still too young. He was so radical and rash. He did not know the principle that strength was easy to break!”
Wanyan Zong Wang spoke with certainty. He was a famous general who had experienced hundreds of battles. He could see through the situation and people's hearts in Great Song. His analysis was almost accurate.
However, he had never expected that Zhao Kai would not only have 50,000 soldiers, but 100,000 soldiers. Moreover, the 100,000 soldiers had crossed the river without any casualties!
This miscalculation would make him pay a heavy price!
At this time, Wanyan Zong Wang, who didn't know the details, made a decision on the spot."This marshal is not going anywhere, I will stay in this Daming Manor!
The last time Bianliang was defeated, it was because I didn't expect the Song army to attack at night. This time, I have expected it, so I won't let the same thing happen again!
I want to let that Zhao Kai kid see what an undefeatable Great Gold Army is!”
Even though Wanyan Zongwang had lost once, he still had some self-confidence. He still had more than 20,000 Jin soldiers under him, and his strength was still there.
If Zhao Kai didn't have many soldiers, the Jin army could go out of the city to fight and defeat Zhao Kai.
If Zhao Kai had more troops than Wanyan Zongwang, then Wanyan Zongwang could rely on the tall and sturdy walls of the Daming Manor to defend the city!
When the Jin Kingdom army arrived, Zhao Kai would be like a dumpling!
At this moment, a series of world-shaking war drums came from outside the Daming Mansion, accompanied by passionate shouts and killing sounds. Wanyan Zong Wang immediately frowned and had a guess in his heart.
Then, a Jin soldier ran over from the city wall."Reporting to the marshal!
A large number of Song soldiers appeared outside the city. At a rough glance, there were no less than 100,000!
The Song Emperor Zhao Kai's dragon flag was already two miles below the city!”
Even though Wanyan Zongwang was mentally prepared that the Song army would be slightly stronger than the Jin army, when he heard this news, his heart couldn't help but sink!
A hundred thousand soldiers!
It was an army of 100,000!
