247:Breaking Tongguan (2)

Boom boom.

The ice artillery of the Qin army was smashed for three days, and the twin cities of Tongguan could no longer garrison troops, so they could only retreat to the inner city.

There are trebuchets installed under the city in the city, and there are small artillery carts set up at the head of the city, but there are not many stones prepared, one is that the Qin army is in a hurry to chase, and the preparation time left for the Song army is not long, and the second is that the snow falls on the sky, and there is no urging the people to pry the stone, and third, the city head is generally prepared with a day's amount of artillery, and the back, you can completely use the stone bullets thrown by the enemy.

But the ice cannon, as soon as it is smashed down, it is basically broken, and when it freezes, if you want to cut it with a knife and axe, the quality is completely different from the fine and tightly tied quality that the Qin army dug and prying on the Yellow River, and it basically has no effect on throwing ice balls outside the city.

Cao Han thought about it all night, and the next day he organized people to demolish the buildings in the sub-city, move all the wood into the inner city, and then carry a hundred and ten buckets of water to pour the inner city into an ice pool, so that even if the Qin army entered the twin cities, they would not be able to gain a foothold.

How do you know that Jia Yin got Qin Yue's order not to take his life to fill in, so he didn't think about taking risks at all.

What to do if the distance is far away, push the catapult again, and if you can't hit it again, make the ice cannon smaller, boom, and just throw the ice ball.

It's just that the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered, and all those in the northwest city lived in the ice cellar one by one, men, women, and children all had runny noses, shrunk their bodies, and couldn't see blood all over their bodies, only their noses were red, and when they took two steps, they had to stomp on their frozen numb feet.

It's a very strange phenomenon, if you have a pair of thousand-mile ears, you can probably hear the whispering complaints, regardless of the military and civilians, the few who scolded the Qin army for lacking morality were probably cursing the main general Cao Han.

The soldiers said that the army of the five routes of the western expedition, everyone has returned to Beijing for the New Year, and we are still drinking the northwest wind here.

The people said that whoever was the emperor was not the emperor, the old lady was going to freeze to death, and the city gate was about to be opened to end the war, and the baby was still looking forward to the New Year.

Such rumors naturally reached Cao Han's ears, but he was unmoved, he had the confidence to make the soldiers and civilians subdued, and there were two battalions of obedient soldiers, who dared to play really.

It's just that the military heart is not powerful until it is critical.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, at noon, the advance team of the Qin army ascended to the west head of the Twin Cities, which was full of ice and was on the firing position of the crossbowmen in the inner city, which was very dangerous. The advance team bent on the waist, holding double shields in their hands, carefully protecting their bodies, and was ready to observe the situation in the inner city, but a shout broke out from the opposite city: "The Qin army has entered the city......

And then...... Crossbowmen, shieldmen, gunners, auxiliaries, and servants, all dispersed.

Xiandeng, who was in charge of the sentry, couldn't believe it, rushed to the city tower to take a condescending look, and saw that those Song soldiers ran away from the city, and immediately waved the red flag in surprise: "The Song army has run away, and there are no soldiers in the city......"

If you don't seize such an opportunity, everyone will be sorry for the military uniforms on their bodies, Yang Yezhen shouted: "Brand knives, crossbowmen, bombs, second delivery to the city, speed." ”

At that time, Cao Han was cheering up the soldiers in the barracks under the city, saying that as long as we hold until the end of the New Year, we will withdraw our troops in a dignified manner, and at that time, everyone here will be richly rewarded.

However, as soon as those eggless bastards shouted, the soldiers waiting for the soldiers in the barracks were also chaotic, Cao Han personally swung his knife and killed the two panicked subordinates around him, which stopped the commotion, and he raised his bloody war knife to force the soldiers to go to the city, but unfortunately, this delay was preempted by the Qin army.

The first Qin army to go to the city was the sword and shield hand, everyone wore three spears, as soon as they saw the Song army going up to the city like a tide, the spears were whistling and flying out, without the suppression of the crossbowmen, the war spears thrown by these sword and shield hands can only be described as fast and accurate.

In the screams, the Song army took two steps forward, took a step back, rubbed, and gave the Qin army's crossbowmen a chance to successfully ascend the city.

Cao Han looked like a mad lion, and split several people in a row, but it was useless, his own army retreated one after another, and then, as soon as he stepped down, he turned around and ran......

"General, the inner city can't hold ......"

"He's it, withdraw, Cao Xing, you rush to Jinqiu Pass first, be sure to get stuck, don't let these bastards mess around."

"Order."

The Song army withdrew quickly, but the speed of the Qin army's advance was not fast, and it was approaching the end of the year, Jiayin really didn't want to see too many sacrifices, and won the Twin Cities, the first thing was to open the city gate, enter the inner city, and the first thing was to raise the people.

If Song Jun wants to run, let them run.

But Cao Han didn't run, he went out of the inner city, and he didn't travel for three miles, which was the real danger of Tongguan - Jin Steep Pass.

In other words, the golden steep pass is the real Tongguan, this pass wall drills out of the Yellow River like a long dragon, and winds towards the mountains on the south bank, steep and high.

This guy was ruthless, closed the door before and after, drove the three armies to the city wall, and then shouted to the panicked and dazed subordinates: "Lao Tzu is all marquis, he is not afraid of death, you are afraid of a man, I will tell you clearly, as long as we hold it for another three days, we will be done, and there will be a lot of silver rewards......

You guys, how to choose, oh! This is the most dangerous pass in the world, there are 100 crossbows, and the enemy army is close to the front, and you, just take the opportunity to smash the stone and roll, you will have a great merit in hand. Afraid of a bird, phew!

Now, if you want to run, stand on the left, and stand on the right to stay, they are all robes that have been fought together, Lao Tzu spit a nail, and if you want to go, put down your knives and guns, and go to Hangu Pass, there is a ready-made camp, but the reward for silver is not to be imagined, and the rewards issued by the court are all returned to the robes left.

Give you a stick of incense time to choose, Cao Xing, light the incense to remember the time. ”

"No."

……

Only then did Jia Yin, who entered the city, know that Cao Han received a military order for a month, and after a month of guarding, he would evacuate. If so, then it will save trouble, then let him stay for a month, anyway, most of Tongguan has already been successful.

At the moment, while arming the defense, while organizing the people to clear the ice, the city gate was opened, there was no ice cannon in the sky, it was much easier to clear the ice, and fifty or sixty carts were pulled out in one afternoon, and then the auxiliary soldiers moved the camp, and the sky was dark.

Because he was busy, he had a late dinner, he was hungry and cold, he was eating and eating, and there were scouts who entered the customs to report the news, but it was Jin Steep who closed the door and opened the killing ring, so Cao Han killed the subordinates who wanted to abandon the reward and leave, and the smell of blood could be smelled from afar, and I don't know how many heads fell to the ground.

", that's hard enough."

Shi Heyun was surprised: "Kill the soldiers, then who else will listen to his orders." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yanke and others were also a little puzzled, Yang Ye said: "If you are afraid of killing, you will be obedient, the old-school method of leading troops is like this, unlike our Qin army, everyone is a personal soldier, and if the deserter is not killed, his authority as a general is really gone, how to lead troops in the future."

Another one, the enemy army went to the city and fled without a single shot, if this matter is not dealt with, then Cao Han will have no credit after he goes back, and even have a sin, for you, are you willing? ”

Jia Yin stuffed meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "The battle of Gaoping was like this back then, deserters were not killed, this army's heart was scattered, and the military spirit that was condensed together with deterrence was also the military heart." However, his killing gave me an idea, and everyone discussed it, if we wait for the end of the New Year and then come to Jinqiu Pass, will he leave without a fight? ”

"No, it won't."

"Whoever dares to kill his own people, how can he look at the wind and leave, it is estimated that he will not be willing to leave without fighting to consume half of the people."

Jia Yin wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "After his killing, no matter how obedient and obedient the defenders are, they don't have much combat power, but if they give him time to ease up, it will be different, if this is the case, we will simply take advantage of his illness and ask for his life, and go to Jinqiu Pass early tomorrow morning. ”

The reason why he only asked Yang Ye was because Jia Yin knew that as far as Shi Cheng Tiezhan and those brothers were concerned, as long as they were their own ideas, they would definitely follow, but Yang Ye was steady and thoughtful.

That knew that Yang Ye just nodded heavily and replied with the word "good", but after thinking about it, he said: "Then so-and-so will be the first to be the first to be the pawn." ”

Jia Yin laughed: "Don't worry, wait until you get to the city, come, tonight's task is to drink, and then rest." ”

"Come on,!"
