"Transport the crossbow into the city, conduct street fighting, and continue to send envoys to pressure them and demand that the defenders surrender. Otherwise, we set fire to the outer city and razed the outer city to the ground."

There was a group of generals above the pseudo-king level under Wanyan Zongwang, who were confident in the combat effectiveness of the Jin army and were prepared for a strong attack.

The Song army camp was still training troops in an orderly manner, guarding several important places such as Longjin Bridge with the main force of the Han army, and tug-of-war with the Jin army in the outer city to gain time and at the same time to attack the morale of the Jin army.

Outside Kaifeng City, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World, Zong Ze and Wang Boyan as the Deputy Marshal. Emperor Song ordered him to lead troops from all over Hebei to rescue Kaifeng, but Zhao Gou moved to Daming Prefecture to avoid the Jin army's military front and never dared to march towards Kaifeng.

Deputy Marshal Zong Ze had to lead troops alone to support Kaifeng.

During this period, Zong Ze sent a letter to the North Road General Manager, the Xuanfu Envoy of Hedong North Road, and the Xingren Mansion, asking to join forces to rescue Kaifeng, but these people thought Zong Ze was arrogant and ignored it.

Zhao Gou, the Grand Marshal of the World, did not send reinforcements at all. His main force did not dare to move forward, but he divided a partial army and ordered Liu Hao, the former commander of the Marshal's Office, to move south to Jianzhou and Huazhou (approximately in Liyang and Yecheng during the Three Kingdoms period) to serve as a suspect soldier to aid Kaifeng.

In the Huazhou Shiyulin area, a 300-man cavalry team belonging to Liu Hao's army galloped. The generals led by the team were only over 20 years old. They were taciturn and taciturn. At the order of Liu Hao, they came to reconnaissance.

It is said that the capital of Bianjing has been besieged by the Jin army. The soldiers and horses in Hebei are not far from Bianjing. The marshal Zhao Gou of the world gathered a large number of rebels, but hesitated.

A scout cavalry urgently reported: "Sir, there is a Jin army ahead!"
