Chapter 411 Siege

The sky was shining brightly, and a military man stood up from under the battlement of Chenqiaomen with sleepy eyes. His head was still a little dizzy, but he looked outside the city for a few glances, then he looked at the cold water and looked shocked, and there was no more sleepiness.

"Get up, get up..." He quickly called out his comrades from both sides and left and right, and at the same time he rushed to the alarm bell. After a moment, the loud bell sounded over the city.

But at some point, a large number of Northern Army soldiers had gathered outside the city, with infantry and cavalry guarding the left and right, and a large number of soldiers were waving picks and shovels and burying their heads to dig trenches.

This army really scared her.

The Northern Army has been outside the city for three or five days, but it has been working outside the Weizhou Gate and the Sourzao Gate. At some point, they even came to their Chenqiao Gate?

This is the easternmost city gate in the north of Tokyo's outer city. It is the Liao people's envoy road. There is also a Fengqiu Gate to the east. Then go east to the Sozao Gate and Weizhou Gate. They have been targeted here, which shows that the northern soldiers are about to make big moves.

At this time, outside the Weizhou gate, there were horns everywhere, and teams of iron armor ran out of the camp, neatly arranged and stepped formations. At the same time, a large number of tall equipment were also pushed out of the camp one by one.

Several light cavalrymen rushed from the camp and rushed straight towards the Dragon Hunlong River.

These people are skilled in bows and horses. When they arrive outside the Dragon Hunlong River, they only fly arrows to the top of the city, and there are naturally archers targeting them. Behind these people, large groups of cavalry gathered, sometimes charging, sometimes retreating, running back and forth, attracting everyone's attention.

Judging from the shouts they shouted as they galloped, they were mostly Khitans and Xi people.

More and more people were watching from above the city wall, and the soldiers looked at each other with ugly faces.

This is not to say that they stand at the top of the city walls and battle sheds, and they can't shoot the cavalry outside the city. But the actions of the northern soldiers are clearly telling them that the siege is about to begin.

Not long after, the city of Bianliang, which had just woken up, was already boiling.

The King of Yan is going to take action, and the King of Yan is going to take action.

Whether it was the gentry, wealthy businessmen or ordinary people, they all thought of the two Jin people's siege battles that had just passed. The first one was not very deep, but when it was the second Jin people's siege, the days when the despair was always surrounded by my heart are still fresh in my memory.

The local people, officials and gentry, have a very intuitive understanding of the war. In the past few days, every household in Tokyo has been stocking up on firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and all living materials.

The last time the Jin people besieged the city, if Zhao Gou had not come in time, even the food price in the city would have been used up.

That's the large population base.

But what is unexpected is that although the prices of various daily necessities in Tokyo have soared a lot, there is no sky-high price of 35 taels of silver for a dou of rice. The reason is that no one can confirm the duration of the two sides of this war.

The Northern Army has thunder and lightning in hand.

Although there are so many people in Bianliang City, everyone knows the morale.

The Zhao Guan family who ran to Huainan was not that they didn't want to lead all the soldiers and horses from the Imperial Camp in the capital to the south, but that he knew very well that there would not be many soldiers in the imperial guards who were willing to follow him to the south.

Because of the imperial guards in Bianliang City, many people's homes are in Bianliang, so they will not abandon their family and property, their wives and children for the sake of Zhao Huan.

It is not guaranteed that the sky-shaking thunder sounded, and in just five or seven days, the city of Bianliang changed its flag on the top of the city.

In addition, the Yan King's army went south, and the conquered prefectures and counties were not completely unfair, but they were also the same kingly style, which was not at all hindering the civilians of the city. It was different from the Jurchens who had always burned, killed, looted and looted.

When the latter was in Tokyo, everyone knew that the disaster was coming. But if the Northern Army was outside, the people in the Tokyo city did not think that they would have a disaster. Although they were worried about the war before them, they were not really afraid, and even had a curious attitude, looking at the city one by one.

"If you want to say that the Nine Kings are really powerful, the vicious Jin people were beaten out, and they easily recovered Yan Yun. Among the many soldiers in the Song Dynasty, they are the number one."

"Nonsense! The power of King Yan is all about the thunder of the sky. What else can he do without the thunder of the sky??"

"Since there is a thunder in the sky, why don't you? Why don't you ask the barbarians in the north to give up their war horses?"

"This is reasonable. Why don't you need that thunder? Can you keep that secret forever?"

"When it comes to this, the King of Yan is really amazing. For so long, whether it is the official family or the barbarians outside, I haven't got the prescription. I heard that there are people in Zhending Mansion who want to behead their heads every day."

The topic naturally turned to the thunder of the sky. Even the common people in the market know the weight of the thunder.

Everyone was talking about it, most of them were things I heard recently, and most of them were not detailed.

But it is difficult for you to hear something from them saying something bad about Zhao Gou.

The reason is very simple. Zhao Gou led his army to lift the siege of Bianliang, which was their great savior.

Qin Hui had already worn a new horse and rushed to Weizhou. He wanted to visit Zhao Gou again. The line between the Song Dynasty and the two was in the Yellow River. Wang Zongyi did not test it bit by bit, and directly put forward the final conditions, which depends on whether Zhao Gou was willing or not.

If he is willing, the Bianliang City can surrender without fighting; if he is unwilling, he will save himself.

Qin Hui was also happy to report to the new master early to report his work progress and some experiences. What made him speechless was that after entering Hanfang Garden, he was told that the King of Yan had not yet stood up and asked him to wait for a while.

The army outside has set up a formation, and the commander of the army has not yet stood up. This is really absurd.

Qin Hui was speechless for a while, and when he came to his senses, he could only sigh at the unmatched confidence between the King of Yan's battle formation.

...

Wang Zongqiu didn't wait for Qin Hui to turn around, and crossbow guns were fired first. The explosions burst out like thunder.

Liu Wei could not watch the Baniu Crossbow under the city step by step and remained indifferent.

How dare Wang Zongqi stay at the top of the city and flee down the city in panic.

Then the entire north wall of the outer city of Tokyo was extremely leisurely.

Corpses and wounded soldiers were sent down the city, and together they were also a large number of wreckages of Baniu crossbows and stone cannons, while those who were sent to the city were bundles of crossbows and guns.

Of course, the damage is the corresponding one. The defenders at the city are losing money, so how can the northern army outside the city be completely unharmed?

This siege is a collision of hard power.

The confrontation between the two sides is a step that no one can skip.
