Yang Xianmao did not explain, but his inference was clear. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is, especially now that the city is broken. The first thing the Jin army had to do was to open all the four city gates, so that the Jin troops at each city gate could rush in, so as not to be closed and beaten by dogs. They would certainly avoid direct combat with the Song army on the tower, and when the Song army on the tower found that the Jin army had entered the city and the general trend was gone, they would flee for their lives.

And the main idea of the Jin army who attacked the city tower at the moment is to kill people, grab things, and rob women as soon as possible, instead of chasing and killing those Song troops who fled for their lives. Reaping the benefits first is what every Jin army general desires the most, and this is also the greatest wish in the heart of every sergeant who breaks the city. Therefore, they hid on the towers, and they could hide as long as they dodged the Jin army that came in over the wall, and if the Jin army did not find them.

As soon as the city gate is opened, the Jin army will enter through the city gate and will not go up to the city tower. The Jin army who came in would also go around to rob houses and houses, and it was impossible for them to come upstairs. Because at this time, there was no so-called Song army on the city tower, and the city tower was safe at that time. Wait until after dark before they leave.

Another very important factor is that Yang Xianmao is very familiar with the city tower, because he has been defending above the city tower during this time. However, Yang Xianmao didn't tell Luo Dakuang about these reasons, and there was no need, he just needed to take them to do what he thought.

Luo Dakuang's question was not answered by Yang Xianmao, because Yang Xianmao had already dragged his father towards the city tower, and he didn't even care about Luo Xiaomei. Luo Xiaomei really felt a little aggrieved, but people were holding their father with one hand and a knife in the other, so how could they have time to take care of themselves. It is reasonable to think about it, so he panicked and followed Yang Xianmao to the city tower.

The shouts of killing on the city tower were loud, and the Song army and the Jin army did not know that the city tower had been breached. However, Yang Xianmao knew that this trend would not last long, as long as the Song army defending the city found that the Jin army had attacked and the city was already full of Jin troops, they would lose their fighting spirit and flee in all directions.

At this time, in addition to the Song army on the city tower, there were also a large number of Song Dynasty people wearing civilian clothes and people who were recruited to participate in the defense of the city. They were also red-eyed, and smashed desperately down with boiling water and stone mines. On the city wall were the corpses of the Song army and the people of the people, most of whom were killed by the arrows fired by the Jin army below. Of course, there were also a lot of Jin troops who died under the tower, which inspired the fierce madness of the Jin army, and the siege was even more ferocious.

After Yang Xianmao led them up to the castle tower, he did not approach the edge of the city, because it would be hit by the dense flying arrows from below. He led them in the direction of the City Gate Tower, which was the main location used by Yang Xianmao to snipe the enemy army, and he was familiar with the layout of the City Gate Tower.

There was nothing of value in the gate tower, and it was a resting place for the defenders. But the beams here are very wide and thick, and hiding on the beams can temporarily hide from the Jin army attacking the city tower, and the place where Yang Xianmao wants to take them to hide is here.

Yang Xianmao was pulling Luo Laohan to run in the direction of the city gate tower, dodging the soldiers and various blades scattered all over the city wall. Suddenly, he heard the old man he was pulling a scream and staggered. Yang Xianmao quickly stopped, turned around and came back to look at him.

Yang Xianmao's biggest worry was that he was hit by the stray arrows shooting up from below, so he ran forward with him on the side close to the city wall. Because in this case, the possibility of being hit by the stray arrows from below is much smaller, but it is difficult to keep that there will be an arc that flies up and just hits Luo Laohan.

But when Yang Xianmao was running, he kept paying attention to his surroundings, and he didn't see any stray arrows, could it be that they were shot from behind?

Yang Xianmao didn't notice any signs of an arrow on Luo Laohan's body, but Luo Laohan squatted on the ground with pain on his face, holding his feet with his hands. Luo Da Basket and Luo Xiaomei also squatted down anxiously and asked what happened to their father? Luo Laohan let out a painful voice and said, "My feet." Then he sat down on the ground.

Luo Dakuang held the single knife nervously, paying attention to the situation around him. The soldiers and people on the city tower are still desperately smashing the boiling water and rolling stones, and at the same time, many soldiers who were injured by arrows and screaming in pain have fallen on the city tower, but there are not many people who can come up to treat them. Everyone is taking care of themselves, and there are very few who can spare their hands to help others.

Yang Xianmao hurriedly squatted down, grabbed his legs, raised it to take a look, and was suddenly startled, only to see a triangular nail inlaid on the sole of Luo Laohan's left foot.

Yang Xianmao was defending on the city tower during this time, and he knew that the use of this kind of triangular nail was to put it in a basket, and when the Jin army began to attack the city, the city wall fell down, forming an area of triangular nails. This triangular nail can even pierce the sole of the foot as long as it is stepped on.

However, you can't fall down before the siege begins, because the besieging side may throw some cotton wool or something under the castle tower, and then step on it to attack the castle upwards. Therefore, it is necessary to pour this kind of triangular nail down in the process of the opponent's siege, so that it is difficult for the besieging party to deal with it in the process of besieging the city, because once it stands and deals with these triangular nails, it will attract the bows and arrows of the Song army on the city tower.

The peg was originally placed in a basket by the wall. But somehow in the heat of battle, one of the baskets was knocked over, and nails were scattered all over the ground, one of which happened to be on the way they passed. was also stepped on by Luo Laohan and pierced the soles of his feet.

If Luo Laohan was pierced by an ordinary blade, Yang Xianmao wouldn't feel anything. Because this ordinary small injury was a piece of cake for him, but now he saw that Luo Laohan was pierced through the soles of his feet by this kind of triangular nails, and he immediately became worried. Because when he was defending the city, he knew that this kind of triangular nail was actually quenched poison. On the castle tower, he saw with his own eyes that the Song army poured the triangular nails into the cauldron and added gold dust to quench them.

This gold dust is actually a kind of poison, and this poison is called gold dust after quenching. This poison is not highly toxic, but a minor poison. In other words, it will not kill people immediately, but it will slowly deepen the poison and die of poisoning after a period of time.

The reason why this poison was chosen to quench the triangular nail is mainly because there is another great feature, that is, it has no antidote. And although this poison is slow to poison, it has a characteristic that is very useful in war, that is, after poisoning, the poisoned person will gradually lose the ability to move and be unable to take care of himself. This would require someone else to take care of them, so that one wounded might hold two or three enemy soldiers, and the enemy's attack would be held back from being able to throw everyone into the attack, and the poisoned would eventually die.

But Yang Xianmao didn't have any more time to think about this now, he was going to immediately take them to hide first to avoid the biggest danger in front of him. So he lifted Luo Laohan's foot, grabbed the triangular nail and carefully pulled it out.

Yang Xianmao said to Luo Dakuang: "You carry your father on your back, I will cover, pay attention to your feet, I will lead the way, so as not to step on it again." ”

Luo Dakuang hurriedly carried his father on his back, and Yang Xianmao led them to avoid the potentially dangerous sections of the road on the ground, while keeping an eye out for the cold arrows shooting up from below. Along the way, there were indeed several stray arrows flying in their direction, but they were all knocked away by Yang Xianmao with a single knife, and finally they came to the city gate.

There was no one in the gate tower anymore, and they all went outside to participate in the defense. Yang Xianmao rushed in with them, took a bundle of ropes from the shelf and put them on his back, climbed up the beam on the top of the city tower, threw the rope down, and asked Luo Dakuang to tie Luo Laohan with a rope around his waist so that he could lift him up.

Soon the rope was tied for a long time, and Yang Xianmao lifted Luo Laohan to the high beam in three or two clicks.

The gatehouse is very tall and spacious, so the beams on it are unusually wide, and lying on it is as stable as lying on a bed. Yang Xianmao patted Luo Laohan on the shoulder and said, "Don't move, don't be afraid, and don't make any noise." Wait a while, the Jin army may rush in, and if there is any movement, we will be dead once it is exposed. ”

Luo Laohan nodded vigorously, and then Yang Xianmao threw down the rope again, pulling Luo Dakuang and Luo Xiaomei onto the beam respectively. Let each of them lie down on the beam, and told the same thing, and several of them agreed.

Yang Xianmao hid behind a beam, holding a few copper coins in his hand, ready to be used to make copper darts. If the Jin army finds out about them, they can only kill them. And it must be as soon as possible, not to let them escape. After all, once the news leaks out, several of them will be wiped out.

Now it is almost impossible to take three people to fight their way out of the encirclement. Therefore, he had to wait for all the Jin troops outside the city to enter the city before escaping, and then it would be much safer.

There were shouts of killing outside, and the windows on the city tower were open in order to observe the situation outside, so Yang Xianmao could clearly see the situation in Longzhou City through the window, and saw the sound of killing in the city shaking the sky and thick smoke billowing out. Flames have already ignited in many places, shrouding the sky above Longzhou City in thick smoke.

Luo Laohan clearly saw that the direction of his silk shop was also submerged in the sea of fire, and the family business handed down by his ancestors was destroyed in this way. He couldn't help crying, but he was afraid that his cry would attract Jin Bing, so he immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Holding back his grief, he didn't dare to look out.

They only stayed on the castle tower for a short time, and the shouting and killing on the castle tower quickly became quieter. Yang Xianmao knew that it must be the Song army that had already known that the city had been broken and fled in all directions, while the Jin army had already entered the city.

Sure enough, soon the city gate tower rushed in a lot of Jin troops, but they did not conduct a detailed search after they found that there was no one in the city tower, and a group of people rushed out again, and then went to the city tower to kill.

After a while, the shouting and killing near the castle tower quickly became quieter. The shouts of killing in the direction of the city were gradually increasing, and expanded to various areas, and it seemed that the Jin army entering the city and the recalcitrant Song army started street fighting. The Song army tried to break out of the encirclement, but the number of Jin troops was too large, and only a few Song troops were able to escape from the encirclement, and most of them were killed or captured.
