Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

The prosperous Bianjing City has long lost its former prosperity. At this moment, Bianjing City has begun to undergo unusual changes. Police officers and imperial police officers can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the Forbidden Army has lost its unified command.

The gathering place in the city is even more chaotic. Agents commanded by Green Grass Snake Li Si and various internal agents buried in the city (including the intelligence system commanded by Ma Baoguo, the intelligence system commanded by He Hua, and the secret service headquarters of Xiong Bin) all set up operations in the city at the same time. After the incident, fierce street fighting began.)

Lei Jing, the deputy commanding officer of the Privy Council who "was ordered in the face of danger", was filled with grief and anger. He thought that Su Xia's army would attack soon, but he never thought it would be so soon.

An officer stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, among the Eighteen-Route Forbidden Army outside Kyoto, only four came for reinforcements. The other nine-Road Imperial Guards announced mediation to maintain law and order and were unwilling to participate in the war. Some even joined. Most of Su Xia's rebel armies, especially Liu Yanqing's Western Army who fought against Qin Fenglu, rebelled against Song."

Listening to the sound of cannons and fighting outside the city gate, Lei Jing asked, "Which army of Su Xia is fighting us?"

"It seems to be Lin Chong. They have already rushed to Shanlimen and Tongjinmen in the east of the city. They are heading towards Xuanhuamen in the south of the city.

......"

Gritting his teeth, Lei Jing roared angrily: "This evil thief, get your weapons. I still have three thousand troops and horses in my hand to fight them out."

Outside Xuanhua Gate in the south of the city, Lin Chong's cavalry troops gradually gathered here.

At this moment, the sky was slowly getting brighter.

Lin Chong's cavalry troops did not successfully enter the city. Lei Jing, the deputy commander of the Privy Council, mobilized the Royal Forest Army and fired continuously with divine arm crossbows. After several rounds of attacks, Lin Chong's cavalry troops who had been attacking for a long time suffered heavy losses and had to retreat temporarily.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army gathered in the city are engaged in a final "death fight".

They relied on the divine arm crossbows they were equipped with (the longest range is up to 300 meters, and it can reach 400 meters when standing on the city wall) and the depth of the Bianjing city wall, which caused a lot of casualties to Lin Chong's cavalry troops.

Seeing that the attack was not going well, Lin Chong, who was outside the defense, had no choice but to order: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops."

Lin Chong had no choice but to issue this order. He had agreed with Su Xia that his elite cavalry would go out and attack in time. Therefore, several small teams took advantage of the chaos last night to attack the city and join up with Li Si and others who were responding inside.

But he never expected that the tens of thousands of forbidden troops who had flowed into the city showed a certain amount of fighting power. They not only repelled their own attack, but also caused considerable losses to their own troops.

If they cannot attack the city in time, the few teams that have sneaked into the city will be completely destroyed.

As the vanguard of the army to destroy the Song Dynasty, his army was the first to attack, and he did not bring much food and grass. If he could not take the city in three days at most, he would have to retreat.

Because they were all cavalry, Lin Chong knew that he lacked artillery, and even the crossbows were dwarfed by the opponent's divine arm crossbow.

Now, we can only hope that the Huarong Army at that time will advance quickly.

After repelling Su Xia's attack, Lei Jing in the city quickly began to issue orders: "Quickly cooperate with the imperial city police to destroy the Su Xia army entering the city, eliminate the internal forces in the city, and gather food in the city. All personnel can only set off from the west gate. No one can enter or leave except the Imperial Guard."

When a war begins, people will inevitably be displaced.

As soon as Lei Jing issued the order, of course the people in the city fled in all directions. As a result, Su Xia's army did not have many troops and could not encircle them.

Secondly, once the old and weak people in the city leave the city, the remaining food can be used to fully support their army.

The three divisions of troops in his hands and the emperor's personal troops probably numbered nearly 4.

In order to cover up the emperor's escape, he specially arranged for a fake emperor to live in the palace and send guards to protect him day and night.

Inside and outside Bianjing City, there was even more excitement.

The cavalry troops that rushed into the city were only a small force. After the city gate was closed and surrounded by a large number of troops, most of them died in battle.

The few who came into contact with Li Si were sheltered underground.

Fortunately, many years ago, John Doe had buried a huge bunker underground near Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo.

A large amount of food is usually stored here.

Therefore, hundreds of people who lost the battle were quickly reunited here to wait for the opportunity.

The once prosperous city of Bianjing was in a state of depression, with corpses lying everywhere in the city.

A large number of people fled in all directions, which caused many brightly lit places in the city to close down early.

Since it was only possible to get out but not enter, two-thirds of the people had already escaped.

Even the city's largest "Huixian Yaxu" (high-end brothel) has lost its former glory.

The curfew system has made the city even more lifeless.

Until midnight, except for a small group of officials, including the prodigal prime minister Li Bangyan, who jumped out of the city, most of them were captured by Lei Jing and kept for city defense.

Even Lieutenant Gao Qiu was ordered by Lei Jing to strictly guard him against the "Emperor".

Lin Chong outside the city quickly mobilized another elite group to attack Bianjing, pretending to attack Bianjing, attracting the maximum attention of the city and buying time for the arrival of the Hua Rong Legion.

At noon the next day, troops from the four divisions of the Hua Rong Corps arrived one after another, and then launched a feint attack across the city, consuming the energy and number of crossbows of the defenders in the city.

At this point, outside Bianjing City, due to the arrival of the Huarong Army, a semi-encirclement state was formed. The Huarong Army, equipped with light Weiyuan artillery, launched an artillery attack outside Xuanhua Gate in the south of the city.

"Boom boom boom!"

The cannonballs were fired one after another. Although the light Weiyuan cannon was not very powerful, the rubble splashed on the battlements still caused casualties and huge psychological fear among the defenders.

The Hua Rong Legion carried a large number of artillery and muskets. Although they could not pose a fatal threat to the city wall for the time being, the Song Army still perceived the greatest threat.

At this time, Song Huizong Zhao Ji and a small number of his cronies had already escaped from Bianjing and headed south.

Lei Jing, who was on the defensive, sat in command and remained calm in the face of danger: "Tear down the common people's wall and use it as subsidies, capture the strong men, and hang the traitors in the city!"

Lei Jing is already fighting to the death, and now he is just covering for Zhao Ji to let him run further!

The city will be destroyed sooner or later.

Two days later, about 3 people from the "Fourth Forbidden Army" who surrendered to Su Xia devoted themselves to the battle to encircle and annihilate Bianjing.

Shi Lue, a member of the Western Army, led tens of thousands of Western troops to prevent other forbidden troops from returning to rescue Bianjing.

Seeing that the city was besieged, Lei Jing simply ordered to completely cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the city.

Three days later, Zhao Wenhui's elite Guards Corps and Hong Tianlei Lingzhen's Heavy Artillery Corps arrived one after another.

Su Xia also left other matters to Xiong Hui and Zongze to handle, and then went to the front line to command in person.

At this point, the National Protectorate Army, which was mainly attacking Bianjing, consisted of Lin Chong's Cavalry Division, Hua Rong's Corps, Zhao Wenhui's Guards Corps, Ling Zhen Fire Corps, and four groups of surrendered servants, the Forbidden Army, and about 12 troops surrounded the city.
