The Peculiar War God of the Song Dynasty
Last night, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Jin Kingdom arrived at the outskirts of Tokyo City, surrounding it from the northwest, east, and south, displaying an overwhelming arrogance.
Especially on the west and north sides of Tokyo City, there were tens of thousands of troops, while the eastern forces were relatively fewer, with the main strength concentrated in those two directions.
They quickly crushed the Song Army stationed outside the city, as the Jin soldiers had a significant numerical advantage. The Song Army either died in battle or retreated back to the city.
Tokyo City was almost completely surrounded, with a fierce momentum approaching.
Qin Feng was awakened from his sleep by the loud knocking at the door while holding his wife. He quickly rushed to the upper levels of Tokyo City.
At that time, Right Chancellor Li Gang and several generals had also arrived at the city wall, dressed in black armor, ready to face the enemy.
Unexpectedly, those Jin soldiers who had attacked several areas outside the city did not continue their assault.
They actually set up camp there, possibly exhausted from continuous travel and reluctant to attack in the dark.
Right Chancellor Li Gang and these generals did not dare to be careless; they patrolled the city wall to keep the soldiers alert and prepared to fight at any moment.
As Deputy Commander of the Cavalry in the Imperial Guards, Qin Feng naturally joined in on the patrol. The cold wind was truly bone-chilling.
Fortunately, dawn was not far off. After more than an hour, it began to brighten.
Today is January 31st, a very important day that concerns the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this moment, Qin Feng was wearing black armor, with black armor covering his legs as well. A broadsword hung at his waist as he angrily looked down below.
Right Chancellor Li Gang, some Black Armored Generals, and tens of thousands of armored Imperial Guards all looked down below with anger.
Many archers had also drawn their longbows, with sharp arrows ready above; they could shoot at a moment's notice.
Of course, there were also many Thunder Cannons mounted on the City Wall, a type of launcher similar to a cannon, equipped with powerful Thunder Cannons.
Several Jin Bing vanguard officers, likely Deputy Generals, were dressed in golden armor and wielding Long Swords and spears. They had long braids on both sides, resembling women, and were quite tall.
Their armor was covered with thick fur, ensuring they were particularly warm. The Jin Kingdom is known for its abundant cattle and sheep, which made their military uniforms even better.
Behind them followed three thousand Jin Bing, clad in gray-yellow armor and holding Broadswords and spears, glaring fiercely at the City Wall, revealing their murderous intent.
They were all cavalry of the Jin Bing, mounted on tall Warhorses, most of whom were seasoned veterans from previous battles.
Outside Tokyo City, about a hundred meters away, they showed no intention of attacking, each displaying a sinister grin as if mocking.
Two Deputy Generals in Golden Armor wore strange smiles as they slowly rode their Warhorses toward Tokyo City.
Right Chancellor Li Gang knew that they were not there to attack the city; they likely had something to say. He instructed the Archers and Thunder Cannon Operators not to take action for now.
The two Deputy Generals rode their Warhorses closer, advancing several dozen meters while discussing among themselves.
Suddenly, they stopped and glared up at the wall with smiles still on their faces.
One said: "The cowards of the Song Dynasty! Clearly, fighting is the job of a General, yet you sent a Civil Official to control things. How ridiculous! A bunch of useless fools."
"All you do is hide in your city. You think your high walls can stop our Jin Kingdom's great army? How laughable! If you have guts, come out and duel us one-on-one."
"You cowards! If you have any courage at all, open the city gates and come out for a duel!"
The Generals above were furious upon hearing this; it was truly infuriating. The arrogant Jins were nothing more than this.
One said: "Lord Li Gang, I suggest we shoot those two dogs down below with arrows. How shameless they are to insult us Generals."
"Look at how foolish they are while thinking highly of themselves. Let us ride out and slay them; they are nothing but empty names and easily defeated."
Qin Feng also felt displeased. These Jin people were too arrogant, daring to ride down to Tokyo City and shout insults, completely disregarding the Song People!
In the past, they must have encountered only some mediocre generals who couldn't hold their ground for long before being defeated and fleeing in disgrace, which led to such foolish ideas.
They must be made to suffer some hardships. The Great Song's Cavalry is not to be underestimated; they can definitely catch up with them and cut them down from their horses.
Right Chancellor Li Gang also glared fiercely, filled with anger. These Jin Kingdom bandits had gone too far; they were shamelessly shouting insults below, truly despicable.
He wanted nothing more than to take up his sword and behead them, flay their skin and pull out their tendons, to avenge the fallen Song Army Soldiers.
Their loud insults were likely not just mere curses; it was probably an attempt to provoke the generals inside the city into a rage, leading them to charge out and fall into their trap, resulting in a disastrous defeat.
He said, "Ignore the bandits below. They speak without restraint and are full of nonsense. Even if we shoot them down, there will still be others coming. They aim to incite our anger and lead us into a pursuit."
"Once they've had their fill of insults, they'll leave. Our real concern is the tens of thousands of troops, not these two insignificant remnants who aren't worth our effort."
Although they understood the Chancellor's meaning and admired his wisdom for seeing through their scheme so quickly, they still felt unwilling. They were all young men filled with blood and passion, generals with higher status than many; how could they swallow this humiliation?
Some were still urging to shoot these two dogs with arrows for their disrespectful words that insulted the Great Song's Generals; it was truly infuriating!
A few were ready to mount their horses and lead troops out, determined to behead these self-righteous fellows.
However, some followed Li Gang's advice, remaining calm without rushing out, though their hearts were still unsatisfied.
Qin Feng was one of them. He felt that the Chancellor was astute and had seen through those two dogs' schemes at a glance; it was impressive. He suppressed his anger and did not act rashly.
He cast a resentful glance at the two Jin Kingdom Generals below, who continued to smile mockingly; their expressions were truly infuriating, making him wish he could kill them immediately.
Behind those two Deputy Generals stood two more generals accompanied by the Jin Kingdom's Three Thousand Iron Cavalry, looking quite imposing as they cunningly approached the city below.
Two Jin State Deputy Generals saw their words surprisingly did not provoke the Chancellor and Generals in the city.
It seems they still have some patience and strategy, not falling into the trap.
Laughing loudly, they continued to insult.
"Chancellor and Generals in the city, you are indeed a bunch of useless people, cowardly fellows. We have insulted you like this, yet you still dare not open the city to fight. If I were you, I would have opened the city gates for a one-on-one duel!"
"Why are you guarding this city? You might as well open the gates and welcome our great commander in. We will even give you an official position, let the emperor kneel to welcome us, and arrange a good job for you, just standing at the city gate."
"You are just gatekeepers who dare not fight, only able to shrink back."
The Generals above listened and actually considered themselves as gatekeepers. What’s the difference from being a watchdog? Each one shouted that they wanted to go down and cut down those two dogs, thinking highly of themselves.
Right Chancellor Li Gang could not hold back either. These Jin people were indeed fierce; not only were they strong, but their words were also vicious.
If they didn’t show them some color, they would really think they could act recklessly.
