The next morning, Li Gang entered the court and walked to the Meridian Gate. He saw the Imperial Guard ready to go, and the emperor's carriage was also ready.

Li Gang knew that Zhao Huan had changed his mind again, so he asked the Imperial Guards anxiously: "Are you willing to stay and guard the ancestral temples and the country, or are you willing to escape with the emperor?" The Imperial Guards replied in unison: "My parents and wives are here, and I am willing to defend the capital to the death!"

After hearing the answer from the Imperial Guards, Li Gang hurriedly entered the palace and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty has promised to stay, why is it going to set off again? The parents and wives of the Sixth Army are here and are willing to defend the city to the death. Your Majesty forces them to protect the carriage. If they scatter back to the capital halfway, who will defend your Majesty? Besides, the Jin soldiers are already very close, and they know that the carriage has not yet gone far away, so how can they resist it with a strong horse? "

Zhao Huan then woke up and ordered the recall of the queen. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Li Gang immediately told the military and civilians: "The emperor has made up his mind and is determined to defend the city. If anyone dares to leave the capital, he will kill him!" When the Six Imperial Guards heard that the officials wanted to stay and persevere, they shouted "Long live!"

Li Gang finally comforted Zhao Huan, and then brought his army to the North City to prepare to resist the Jin soldiers. Li Gang was a literati. With his passion, he was not very proficient in military affairs.

After discussing with Ouyang Xun, he asked the Four Wall Defense Commanders Liu Wei and Zong Ze to lead people to defend the West Gate. He and Ouyang Xun and others personally stationed in the North Gate with them. Gao Gongtai was also among them; Cao Ping was unexpectedly defeated.

Cao Rong's sudden surrender made the Cao family very passive. The family received close insights, and even Cao Ning was taken care of.

Gao Gongtai once again recommended Gao Chong to Li Gang and Ouyang Xun. After seeing how Gao Chong rushed to the formation, Zhang Zhong was able to do so. This time Li Gang did not hesitate and asked him to serve as the deputy envoy of Kaifeng North Gate Defense.

This position was only a temporary appointment. Although the official rank was not improved, he had great power during the war, and the defense of the North Gate was under his jurisdiction.

Gao Chong was very rude to transfer Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing to his army, and at the same time appointed Cao Ning as the leader of his personal guard, expressing his support for the brother.

Liu Ziyi was sent to Xicheng by Gao Chong, and Zhang Kui and a 200-person firearm unit were also sent to Liu Yu to defend.

The Jin people defeated the 20,000 imperial guards of the Song people with 10,000 people on the first day. Unfortunately, Gao Chong's last attack left Zhang Zhong; it made his actions a little deficient.

Wanyan Zongwang now wants to break through Kaifeng as soon as possible. He has high hopes for the Fengqiu Sect, hoping that the original arrangement can play a decisive role.

Today, the Jin people wanted to use their strong attack power to create pressure on the Song people. Early in the morning, their 60,000 army arranged 40,000 to set up a formation at the North Gate. At the same time, Liu Yanchang led 20,000 people to attack at the West Gate as a restraining force.

As the deputy envoy of the North Gate defense, Gao Chong was appointed as the temporary commander, responsible for the defense of the North Gate. Li Gang, Gao Gongtai and others were responsible for the support behind.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" The sound of war drums resounded throughout the earth, and the black Jin horse team moved forward neatly. Before the siege was siege, the powerful oppression almost made people collapse.

The Jin people did not start siege immediately, and they took the lead in building a catapult cart. In order to quickly complete the beheading operation, they rushed all the way, without bringing siege equipment. Fortunately, they had the supplement of Beifu Huazhou, which gave them the means of siege again.

As a Fuzhou, Huazhou has complete equipment and is now used by the Jin people, which makes the Song people in the city look very exciting.

"Come on! Give me the gift I prepared to the Song people." Wanyan Zongwang looked at Song Bing on the city with fear and couldn't help laughing.

Someone twisted the catapult and then shot the round objects onto the city tower. Gao Chong frowned. This thing was shot very high and didn't look very heavy. It seemed that it was not used to attack the city!

"Puu!" A grunt roll caused a scream in the Song army. "Head, head! It was the head of the Dragon Guard and the Divine Guard yesterday."

"There are also the heads of Commander Zhang Du here! These Jin people are so scary!"

Gao Chong suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Have you seen the nature of these Jin people? They just want to kill us. Even if they become prisoners, they will inevitably die in the end! So don't expect the enemy's mercy, pick up the sword in their hands and protect their homes!"

"Defend your country and fight against the enemy!"

"Defend your country and fight against the enemy!"

"Fight against the enemy!"

There was a stormy cheer on the top of the city, and even Li Gang and others shouted and mobilized people's enthusiasm.

Wanyan Zongwang found that his attacking tactics did not have the corresponding effect, so he snorted coldly and ordered the army to start siege.

The first thing that appeared was the Song army who surrendered along the way. They were led by Guo Yaoshi, Dong Cai and Cao Rong to the city of Kaifeng.

Li Gang looked at it and snorted coldly, "Guo Yaoshi, Dong Cai, Cao Rong, the court treats you well, why do you want to collude with the enemy and treason?"

Guo Yaoshi laughed and said, "Is this treating me badly with the Yisheng Army? Is this treating me badly with Cai Jing and Lu Yihao? Is this treating me badly with the help of me badly? If someone wants my head, I'm probably the second Zhang Jue! Is this what you said treating me badly?"

Dong Cai and Cao Rong also cursed: "Zhao Ji is guarding against us like enemies. The Jin people treat me with heart. I can still distinguish who is good and who is bad. It is a good bird that chooses trees to rest, and a good minister is the master and serve. We should never follow the foolish monarch in the same way as the black man."

Li Gang changed his face and colored, and said furiously: "Okay! OK! What a shameless traitor! Thunder, rain and dew are both kindness. You are so guilty of serving the Lord. Come up quickly! With me, Li Gang, there is a breath of breath, and you will never let you step on the city wall."

Guo Yaoshi smiled and said, "I don't cry until I see the coffin. Today I will let you know what despair is. Men, kill me!"

With a command from Guo Yaoshi, tens of thousands of Song soldiers rushed up the trench bridge and ladder.

Gao Chong snorted coldly: "Prepare for catapults, knock out the enemy's catapults, and siege equipment!"

Someone agreed loudly, and soon a huge rock rose into the air and then landed in front of the Jin people's position.

"Correct! Correct quickly!" Gao Chong gave the order, and the catapult car corrected the direction and fired again. This time the hit was slightly better, and two enemy catapult cars were destroyed.

However, the accuracy of siege equipment such as catapults is indeed difficult to compliment, and their deterrence is obviously greater than the actual lethality.

"Sulfurblast, prepare! Destroy the enemy's siege car for me!" Gao Chong shouted loudly, and balls of fire rose into the air. The fireballs were filled with jars of tincture oil. When the tincture oil leaked, a stream of fire and smoke would rise.

These fire balls fell on people, burning them torrent and wailing. The Song people were so scared that they were no longer looking at the time of orders. They turned around and ran back without waiting for the orders from behind.

"Canglang!" A group of golden men with big swords rushed out from behind, and cut several without saying a word. Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly and said, "Continue attacking me, those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The Song army had no choice but to rush up again with courage.

Gao Chong snorted coldly: "Archer!" The crossbowmen in the city were also ready. Seeing that they entered the range, Gao Chong shouted: "Let it go!"

A black cloud passed by. The armor of these Song troops was relatively simple, and they could not block the attacks of these crossbows. There were screams of screams, and there were already dead bodies under Kaifeng City.

However, under the threat of death, the Song army crossed the trench bridge and came to the city, and began to attack the city along the cloud ladder.

"Roll the wood and rocks! Put it!" Gao Chong shouted loudly. The people in the city began to throw the wood and rocks down. The enemies who were climbing the city were smashed, and someone stretched out a fork pole to overturn the ladder.

"Pour the turbulent oil!" He heard a sound of shock, and the boiling hot oil poured down, and immediately there was a tragic sound, with a faint fragrance.

"Woo!" A torch flew down, and the bottom turned into a sea of ​​fire hell. The enemies who were siege fled in scattered scattered, and some people plunged into the moat with a thunderous sound.

"Swoosh!" The bow and arrow broke through the wind, and the people who were still struggling just now quickly lay on the ground and stopped moving.

Guo Yaoshi and others' faces turned dark. They came to Wanyan Zongwang's eyes and said, "Master Erlang, the enemy has too many equipment, we can't fight like this. Please send the warriors from the Great Jin Kingdom to help!"

Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said, "The time has not come yet. I feel relieved by your courage, but I hope you can rush up to the city tower. In this way, I will arrange for crossbowmen to suppress the archers in the city for you, and you will continue to attack the city!"

Yaoshi Guo and the other two looked at each other, and had no choice but to rush up again.

Wanyan Zongwang ordered Wanyan Talai to take the archers up to help, but did not send Jin soldiers to the field.

Jin Wushu said: "Second brother, it is definitely impossible to count on the Song people to break through Kaifeng. Why not let our warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom look like them?"

Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said, "Wuchuo, what I am concerned about is the crossbows and firearms of the Song people. Today, when there is such a situation, their firearms have not appeared. I am sure that there are not many firearms of them. Let these Song people force them out and consume them! Wouldn't it be more appropriate for our warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom to take action again?"

Jin Wushu nodded and said, "The second brother is right, we all listen to the second brother."

With the help of archers, Guo Yaoshi and others finally made some progress. The archers of the Jin Kingdom were much better than those of the Song army. They had hard bows in their hands, and they would be shot to death as soon as the Song army showed up.
Chapter completed!
