Looking down from the top of the city, although the Jin people temporarily withdrew from the city wall, they erected countless catapults one after another.
Groups of strong men of the Jin army were sweating profusely from the heat, and they all worked hard with their upper bodies bare.
Turning the winch, the loader shouted a loud trumpet and loaded a nearly huge stone into the bamboo basket at the long end of the catapult.
Just waiting for an order, these cannon stones the size of millstones were thrown towards Bianliang City without hesitation.
It's funny to say that the Jin army originally marched thousands of miles from Youzhou and advanced all the way to Bianliang City.
They moved in a hurry and did not carry bulky siege equipment at all.
Unexpectedly, the Wen Tianwu Xi of the Song Dynasty, who was in power under the Zhuhe faction, had been procrastinating and not preparing for war.
As a result, when the Jin troops came to the city, the Song army only had time to close the gate of Bianliang City, but left hundreds of catapults and many heavy ordnance they had just built in the suburbs.
So, as soon as the Jin army arrived at Bianliang City, they captured Big The ready-made siege equipment was batched and used to deal with the Song people in the city.
For the Jin army who conquered the Song Dynasty in the south, this situation was really like "no food, no clothes, the enemy sent them, no guns, no weapons" Cannon, the enemy made it for us Around these catapults, rows of Jin Army soldiers could be vaguely seen sitting on the ground.
Their armors were placed in front of them, neatly arranged into a low wall.
The spear in his hand was also placed beside him, and the howling cold wind made a shrill sound.
He was indeed an elite division.
Looking at the well-organized and high-spirited Jin soldiers outside the city, and then looking at the Song Dynasty Imperial Army on the city wall who were staggering, fighting in two groups, and even urinating and urinating, and recalling the smoky atmosphere above the court, Zhang Shu Ye couldn't help but feel even more desperate.
Although the scholar-bureaucrats of the war faction who are currently in high positions in the court are full of heroic words about being loyal to the emperor, patriotism, and sworn to be incompatible with thieves and bandits, in terms of causing harm to the country and the people, they are not much worse than the weaklings of the war faction.
The city is already in danger, and these lunatics actually want the imperial army to come out of the city to attack them, to challenge the Jurchen cavalry head-on, so as not to lose the prestige of the imperial kingdom.
The question is, are these useless imperial guards in the city that capable?
According to Zhang Shuye's own calculations, if these forbidden troops were trapped in the city with no way to retreat, they would probably be able to squeeze out a bit of courage in the battle to defend the city, and several of them could be used as one person.
But if they are allowed to go out of the city to fight in the field, they will not collapse at the first touch, but will flee in the face of the wind.
It is not that the imperial army had never attacked before.
For example, Wang Zongliu, the commander of the imperial army, took advantage of the time when the Jin soldiers had just arrived and had not yet established a stable foothold.
He mobilized more than ten thousand generals from the imperial army to march out of the city from the south wall of Bianliang.
Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of soldiers marched out of the city.
The imperial army, which boasted of being "elite", only had a brief battle with the Jin people at the door of their home, then broke up and fled without a trace.
Thousands of gold soldiers took the opportunity to attack Nanxun Gate.
Zhang Shuye and the inspector Fan Qiong tried their best to defend themselves, but they were able to barely repel the gold soldiers.
Next, someone in Shandong raised 5,000 rebel troops to come to serve the king, but they were also easily annihilated by a small group of Jin troops on the outskirts of Bianliang.
It can be seen that the current Song Dynasty official army is very reluctant to defend the city, and as for the field battle, it is simply to die.
It's a pity that the scholar-bureaucrats over there thought they could criticize Fang Qiu after reading a few books on the art of war, but they couldn't see this at all.
They just couldn't wait to make a turnaround immediately.
Seeing that the imperial army was unable to do anything, they actually became seriously ill.
He went to the doctor and put his hopes on a monster named Guo Jing.
He even recruited a group of idle men from the market and pretended that they were some "Liujia magic soldiers", hoping that they could kill 150,000 Jurchen cavalry.
Alas, this is really "when a country is about to perish, evildoers will be born."
God-defying officials can imagine that if there are gods in this world and the Jin people invade, we only need to burn incense and chant sutras, so why bother to mobilize troops and send out troops to meet them?
enemy Zhang Shuye, a traditional Confucian general, didn't really believe in the anecdotes about Guo Daxian's ability to spread the beans and create an army.
Just when Zhang Shuye was sighing because of the war threatening the city, he suddenly heard a long voice singing in the distance: "Master Wu Lue and the governor of Yanzhou have ordered the arrival of Guo Daxian, the real person who protects the country."
After Zhang Shuye heard the sound, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Why did he just think of this, and the real master came?
"Master Wu Lue and the governor of Yanzhou have ordered the arrival of Guo Daxian, the real person who protects the country."
Accompanied by a powerful roll call, Guo Jing, holding a fly whisk, led Wang Qiu and others to Shi Shiran and approached the Dongshui Gate of Bianliang City.
Generally speaking, as a famous immortal in Bianjing, Guo Jing's appearance is still very good.
He has a red face and white teeth, and is full of energy.
He has a pair of sparkling eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows.
His expression is also solemn and holy.

He is really an immortal.
The bones seem not to be stained by the slightest trace of human fireworks.
Moreover, as the saying goes, people need clothes and Buddha needs gold.
At this time, the Taoist robe Guo Jing was wearing was also an extremely gorgeous and luxurious high-end Taoist robe from the Northern Song Dynasty.
The style was quite different from the Taoist robes of later generations.
The modern simple Taoist robes are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Taoist robes of the Northern Song Dynasty also had a short cloak-like xiapei on the back, embroidered with cloud patterns.
It was very gorgeous and beautiful, and it looked like a master at first glance.
In particular, Guo Jing's Taoist robe is a purple gift given by the emperor.
The embroidery, decoration and pendants are all beautiful, and it shows a rich and noble style.
Of course, that was the treatment only the Great Immortal Guo Jingguo had.
As for Wang Qiu and the other "followers", they could only wear plain gowns.
At first, Wang Qiu once took a pair of armor and tried to put it on, but as soon as he mentioned it, his expression changed: This armor is made of a series of armor pieces, layered like tiles.
Stacked layer by layer, you can tell at a glance that the weight is quite terrifying.
This is the foot armor of the Song Dynasty, which evolved from the Zha armor of the Tang Dynasty.
It is composed of 1825 armor leaves, and the total weight is as high as more than fifty kilograms, which is very delicate for modern people.
Where can I bear the burden of my body?
Although Wang Qiu had exchanged reward points for physical enhancement in the infinite space, with the collapse of the main god system, he had already returned to the real world and returned to his original state.
Now he has the physique of an ordinary college student, so he would naturally feel uncomfortable with such a heavy armor.
Scratching your head.
Therefore, Wang Qiu finally just wore a body armor underneath, put on a long gown and went out.
And Nobita Nobita and Doraemon were not prepared for any protective measures.
With the lives of these two guys, it is estimated that even if they encounter space monsters, they will be fine.
Then, on the way to the battlefield south of the city, Wang Qiu and others finally saw the traces of the war: Although the offensive and defensive battle on the city wall had not yet begun, the Jin Army's catapults had been bombarding them for many days.
Tens of thousands of stones were thrown into the city, causing the destruction of several residential buildings in the Fengqiumen and Dongshuimen areas.
They were bombarded to the ground in a continuous rain of rocks, and the people were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
Therefore, the closer you get to the city gate, the more bleak, dilapidated and sparsely populated the streets and houses become.
Only a small part of them were destroyed by the trebuchets of the Jin army, but most of them were demolished by the Song army who defended the city, dug out masonry and wood, and used them as defenders.
Rolling stones and wood were used to hit people in the city and were used to make fires for warmth.
Seeing those rosewood screens, cocobolo coffee tables, camphor wood, ebony furniture, and golden nanmu coffins that were worth millions in later generations, were chopped into pieces by the Imperial Guards and soldiers who burned harp and cooked cranes, classmate Wang Qiu climbed up.
Feeling heartbroken at that time, he quickly instigated Doraemon to snatch it under the banner of Guo Dashen.
Now, Doraemon, who was carrying a huge debt of 300 billion, had no choice but to temporarily abandon his moral integrity and shamelessly ask for things from the Imperial Army.
Fortunately, the banner of Immortal Guo is now very useful in Bianjing City.
Wang Qiu and the others just bluffed a few times, and the Imperial Guards obediently handed over all kinds of furniture and carvings made of precious woods to these crude Although stupid woodware is expensive, it is not gold, silver, pearls and jade after all.
In the past peaceful years, it might be hard to find ten thousand pieces of gold, but now in the siege of the city, it is not worth a few dollars.
It is better to sell it to Guo Zhenren for a good price. .
Walking all the way to the base of the city wall, I saw that the Imperial Guards had built a row of simple straw huts on the inside of the city wall for the city guards to take turns sleeping and resting, and also to house the wounded soldiers.
This was a common practice for city defenders in ancient times, but now The weather is freezing and snowflakes are flying.
Many of the refugees and beggars hiding in the ruined temples are freezing to death, forcing them to crawl into the sewers of Kaifeng: regardless of the stench, they just want to stay warm.
Poor wounded soldiers, who were already bleeding and dying, were thrown into drafty shacks on all sides, lacking medical treatment and care.
If you're lucky, you can squeeze in beside the fire to keep warm.
If you're unlucky and get pushed to the edge, you're really in danger of freezing to death.
Wang Qiu saw several zombies being carried out of the shack with his own eyes. , there were ice ridges on his hair and beard, and his skin was even blue from the cold.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Qiu couldn't help but shudder, as if he had been soaked in a bucket of ice water, and his internal organs were covered with ice.
"The temperature is minus 18 degrees.

Oh my god, the water is already turning into ice.
How can this place in Henan be so cold?"
When others were not paying attention, Wang Qiu secretly glanced at the electronic thermometer he carried with him and was immediately shocked.
Even those soldiers who were not seriously injured and were taking a break from the shift looked shaky and sluggish, although they were well equipped.
It has to be said that although the Song Dynasty was known to be weak, it attached great importance to the army and spent 70% of its annual income on raising troops.
Thus, the creation of a professional imperial army of 800,000, which was fully supported by the imperial government's finances, was an unprecedented feat in the past dynasties.
The Song Army's ordnance and equipment can also be said to be luxurious and sophisticated.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, soldiers had to prepare their own weapons and dry food when going to war.
In the future, the bizarre military household system of the Ming Dynasty directly reduced soldiers to serfs, so that street soldiers wearing rags and carrying wooden sticks were everywhere on the battlefields of the late Ming Dynasty.
As for the Song Dynasty, I dare not say it in other places.
At least the imperial army in Kaifeng were all in iron armor, and the soldiers were quite tall and strong.
After all, this was as early as the founding of the country.
Taizu of the Song Dynasty, who was very aware of eugenics, said: "The wives of all classes should take all the elder women, hoping that their descendants will serve as imperial guards for generations to come."
Therefore, the imperial guards and soldiers of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty Generations of wives have been married to tall women, and all kinds of high-quality genes have been accumulated from generation to generation.
All of them are very tall and burly, no less than a modern man like Wang Qiu, who is 1.8 meters tall.
It is a pity that this group of forbidden soldiers are tall and have well-developed muscles, just like the bodybuilders of later generations, but their evil spirit and bloody nature are not visible at all.
Speaking of which, from the day of its establishment, the Northern Song Dynasty continued continuously.
Foreign wars have never stopped, including the Liao Kingdom, Xixia, and now the Jin people.
If it were any other dynasty, they would have fought an iron-blooded army and a group of fierce people.
But things were so strange.
Until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a trend of appeasement and extravagance among the people.
Isn't a too wealthy life a good thing for the country?
Just as Wang Qiu was standing under the city wall, complaining silently from the bottom of his heart, the city guard general Zhang Shuye had already shaken off the mud spots on his body, walked down the city to greet Guo Jing, a "demon" who pretended to be a ghost, even though he didn't think much of it. ", but Zhang Shuye still has the most basic etiquette.
And Guo Jing also restrained himself from dusting his fly whisk, and nodded slightly, "I have met Xueshi Zhang before."
Zhang Shuye had just been awarded the title of Bachelor of Zizheng Palace, acting as Privy Councilor and in charge of the capital's military affairs.
Seeing that the attitude of the real protector of the country was quite modest and polite, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Now the Jin people are in a hurry to attack the city.
The capital was frightened overnight.
I am also in armor and must not leave my body at all times.
I don't know where the real person is."
Come, what’s the matter?”
Although it is said very politely, the meaning of alienation is very clear: the front line is already in danger, so you should stop adding to the chaos.
"Of course I am helping the bachelor."
Guo Jing completely ignored Zhang Shuye's resistance and just continued to say calmly, "Since I have received a generous gift from the imperial court, I naturally have to contribute to the imperial court.
At the moment, although Liujia The divine soldiers are not well trained and cannot go out to fight the Tartars to relieve the emperor's worries.
But seeing that the people are displaced and the capital is in danger, how can a poor man remain calm?"
"What you said is very kind, but I don't know what magic the master has that can help me."
Although he didn't quite believe the evil spirit's lies, Zhang Shuye still managed to show his all ears.
"Xueshi Zhang, it is well known in the city that the snow is falling heavily in Bianjing and the cold is unbearable.
Jin people grew up in the north and have never been afraid of cold winters.
However, the soldiers of our dynasty are not as cold-resistant as the people in the north, and they lack charcoal for heating.
It is said that although they have cotton clothes to keep out the cold , there are still people who freeze at night, or lose their fingers alive, the situation is very miserable, it can be seen that the flying snow in the sky is really not conducive to our army's defense of the imperial capital."
Guo Jing raised the fly whisk and said with compassion on his face, "I'm just going to do a little trick here to make the heavy snow dissipate and bring back a bright and sunny day, so as to alleviate the difficulties of our soldiers of the Song Dynasty who are facing the wind and snow.
I don't know what Xueshi Zhang means." how" In this regard, although Zhang Shuye still had a look of disbelief, the Imperial Guards and soldiers who believed in the immortal way cheered loudly.
Relying on the strong help of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and taking advantage of the moment when the Jin army paused their attack on the city, Guo Jing directed the "magic soldiers" he brought to work together, using them to bring various ceremonial instruments with them, and soon A simple dojo was set up under Dongshui Gate.
Above an altar that is only three feet in diameter, there is a banner with bright yellow brocade and black trim, which reads "Nine Heavens Sensing Micromanifestation Real Person came to the world and appeared to give peace and happiness to all generations."

On both sides of the altar, smoke filled the air.
Several civil servants from the court who advocated immortality rushed over after hearing the news.
They all had their hair in buns, wore vanilla crowns, and wide robes, and loudly said: "Welcome the immortal to the world."
According to convention, Guo Jing should let his hair down at this time, wave a mahogany sword, dance on the altar, or foam at the mouth, pretend to be a god, etc.
But as a Bolshevik with firm beliefs, political commissar Guo Jing obviously has He had no interest in pretending to be a fool, so he just bowed his hands to the many fans and fans, took out a small card with a sun symbol on it, and inserted it into a strange-looking machine in the center of the altar.
There was a loud clang in the sky, and Doraemon’s magical prop weather controller made its debut.
This thing looks like a large radio equipped with a radar antenna and a slot in the middle.
As long as you insert cards with various weather symbols drawn on them, you can forcefully change the weather immediately.
If it wants to rain, it will rain, if it wants to blow, it will blow, and if it wants to be sunny, it will be sunny.
When Doraemon was at Nobi's house, he often used this thing to cheat and cheat.
For example, if he was too lazy to put away his clothes on a rainy day, he would turn the weather into a sunny day.
If he wanted to ski in the summer, he would use this thing to create a snowstorm.
So since Doraemon came to After that, the weather in Tsukimidai, Nerima District, Tokyo is always weird.
It often snows from time to time in summer, the temperature soars to 30 degrees in winter, cherry blossoms bloom n times a year, and so on.
In short, in the next moment, all the lead clouds in the sky dissipated, and the bright sunshine shone on the earth in an instant.
As if the dazzling light from heaven suddenly fell over Bianliang.
Whether it was the Jin army attacking the city, the Song army defending the city, or the citizens of Bianliang, they all raised their heads and looked up in surprise at the sky that cleared up instantly and the fiery sunshine pouring on the earth.
At this time, I looked up at the clear sky and saw a clear blue sky with no clouds in the sky, just like the crisp autumn air.
Only a few scattered snowflakes were still falling in the air, reflecting the light of day, telling people that it was still windy and snowy just a moment ago.
Zhang Shuye, a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace, had the heart of a Confucian scholar and official who "respected ghosts and gods to stay away".
With the bright sunshine pouring down, it completely collapsed in an instant.
He immediately fell down tremblingly and worshiped.
He kept nagging, "God bless me, please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Well, I believe it won't be long before the number of devout followers of Guo Daxian, the Protector of the Country, will increase again.
Unfortunately, although the Jin troops outside the city were shocked, they had no intention of cooperating with Immortal Guo in creating a religious atmosphere.
"The stone cannons and trebuchets of the Jinren are coming" Accompanied by a sharp, panicked howl from someone on top of the city, the sound of hundreds of boulders breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the air oshow7:
