The iron gate was closed, and the sun was shining.

Gan Qi was wearing gold armor and stood on the platform, not sitting, just standing all the time.

Di Yong also led the troops to converge, Di Yong pressed the formation to attack the city, and led people to dig the city wall.

The method is very simple, in fact, there is a bit of a sound to attack the west, anyway, it is a two-pronged approach, the siege is real, and the digging of the city wall is also real.

Arrows rained down on the sky, soldiers stepped on drums, wooden shields, iron armor, and long ladders.

When the rain of arrows stopped, the long ladder had been erected on the city wall, countless soldiers flocked to it, a long ladder hung seven or eight ironclad men, immediately weighed more than 1,000 catties, the people at the head of the city wanted to push down this more than 1,000 catties, that is also to make the strength to eat.

If the Song people were defending the city, they would prepare a long wooden fork early, and the fork would be set up on the long ladder, and a group of men would use the fork to top the long ladder at the same time, and more than 1,000 catties would immediately fall to the ground, which was quite effective.

However, it seems that few people in the party have really fought the battle to defend the city, and the preparation is quite insufficient.

The stone smashed on the person's head, buzzing, the smashed man, trying to grasp the ladder with his hands, not to let himself fall, but the blood in the iron helmet was pouring out, the blood covered his eyes for a moment, the pain was not felt for the time being, the man grabbed the ladder with one hand, held the spear in the other, and kept stabbing upward, like a madman.

The military man in the back opened his mouth and urged: "Go up, go up!" ”

When the man whose vision was blurred by blood heard this, he climbed up with his hands and feet, and he had already reached the battlement, but he couldn't see that a spear was stabbing at him in the battlement, and there was a sharp sound of armor piercing.

The man couldn't see but could feel it, and he reached out and grabbed the spear that was stabbing at him, so he immediately lost his center of gravity, and the person had fallen backwards. The party member who stabbed this shot in the battlement mouth immediately let go and watched the Song soldier with a bloody face fall from the city wall.

But in an instant, another Song man appeared at the battlement, and the Song man was assassinated with a spear, and this party member had no blades, so he hurriedly bent down to move stones.

It was too late, but it was fast, and between the calcium carbide sparks, the Song man at the battlement mouth jumped in, and the spear had already stabbed away, and blood was splashing. But it was this Song man who had just come up, and he was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen spears, coming from all directions.

The bloody cruelty of the siege is the battlement that has been fought over repeatedly.

is also like the words of Gan Qi, who was standing on the stage: "Did you go up over there?" ”

"It's up." Zhang Qi replied.

Gan Qi stood on tiptoe to look, looked at it for a moment, and sighed: "Knocked down again......"

Zhang Ji raised his hand and pointed to the east: "Xianggong, it's gone up over there, look, there are more than a dozen of them." ”

Gan Qi looked expectant, staring in the eyes.

It's a pity that it was beaten again.

The battle is stalemate, the number of casualties is also rising, the Song army under the city wall has gone crazy, and the party members on the city wall have also gone crazy.

Gan Qi waited for a long time, and when this time came, he finally spoke: "Stunned, it's your turn, up." ”

He was stunned: "The last general will take the order!" ”

With a group of henchmen, he rode straight to the city wall at the end of the eastern field of vision, followed by tens of thousands of horses and horses, and the baggage carts were also galloping.

The bed crossbows in the baggage cart were quickly erected, and tens of thousands of crossbows were closely lined up and stared at the city.

Without saying a word, he picked up the pickaxe and rushed to the city, and the seed master held a big wooden shield, like an umbrella to envelop the stunned.

The stones on the top of the city immediately poured down, even though there were not many people defending this section of the city wall, but they reacted very quickly.

The stone smashed on the wooden shield, and the face of the Seed Master Dao under the wooden shield turned purple.

Such a wooden shield is densely packed under the city, and under the wooden shield, there are soldiers who are bowing down and digging the city wall.

Behind these people, all kinds of bows and crossbows of all sizes, shoot non-stop, but whoever dares to show their heads on the head of the city must have dozens of feathered arrows galloping away, and if they hide quickly, they are lucky, and if they hide a little slowly, one face will become a hornet's nest. Even so, countless party members still held up stones and kept throwing them down the city.

The party members obviously saw Ganqi's plan, and the reinforcements from the pass were also in a steady stream, digging the city wall, so what was it?

The situation is just like this.

Gan Qi on the stage, just standing, a person from birth to adulthood, I don't know how many years and sufferings he has to go through, he finally grows up, but it is so simple to die.

War is perhaps the most meaningless thing that human beings can do.

Gan Qi looked at the dispatch of the enemy troops on the city wall, watched more and more heads appear on the city wall, and even estimated and counted in his heart, Gan Qi suddenly relaxed a little, and said: "Twenty thousand, the party has also suffered heavy casualties, and the follow-up is weak." ”

Zhang Qi asked: "How does the prime minister know that the successor of the party is weak?" ”

Gan Qi pointed to a place at the head of the city and said, "Look at the group of people wearing leather armor, they have a characteristic, that is, they will inlay a piece of heart guard iron on the chest of leather armor, and the leather armor of this group of people is in this style. ”

Zhang Qi watched from afar and nodded: "Well, Xianggong is meticulous. I wonder what Xiang Gong saw in these people? ”

"Yesterday, the first formation, it was they who defended the city, they should be the elite in the Iron Gate Pass at this time, yesterday's first array of offensive was the fiercest, this batch of party elites suffered heavy losses, there should have been six or seven hundred before, and now it is only two or three hundred. If there were still soldiers in the pass, this group of people would never go to the city again today. Ganchi said.

Zhang Qi immediately understood, and said: "So today's group of people came up again, proving that the soldiers of Tiemen Pass are all at the head of the city?" The students admired the fact that the students were clear-sighted. ”

Zhang Qi seemed to have learned something, and he had gained a lot in his heart.

Gan Qi nodded, extremely satisfied with this student, and said: "Add drums, and fight bravely, the enemy will fight on two fronts, and it will be the end of the strong crossbow." ”

Zhang Qi personally went to give the order to add drums, and the drums became more and more urgent. The three-way drum is the climax of this war, and if it doesn't work, Mingjin will not be far away.

This kind of thing, sometimes not only in the personal order of the commander, but the entire battlefield situation, the soldiers are tired, they have no physical strength, their morale begins to drop, there are too many wounded and need to be treated, and so on, all of which are times when Mingjin is needed.

The drumbeat was added, and he was sweating like rain, and his heart was as anxious as ants in a hot pot, and he shouted: "Brothers, dig quickly, dig up diagonally, and dig into a ramp!" ”

Although the rammed earth is not as hard as the stones, it is also very hard, and the pickaxe smashed it one by one, and the arm was numb, but the stunned was still struggling to chisel.

"Uncle, come for me." The seed master is ready to replace the seed stunned.

He was stunned but said directly: "You just raise your shield." ”

At the front pass, Di Yong could hear the quickened drum beat on the side of the platform, looked back at the Jinjia Ganqi on the platform, held the spear, and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, a certain family will come in person, and you will follow a certain one." ”

Gan Qi's drum made Di Yong start to climb the city wall himself.

A group of henchmen behind him saw this, their eyes were red, they pulled out their waist knives and bit them in their mouths, holding a spear in one hand and preparing to climb the long ladder in the other.

"Bring all the long ladders that have fallen to the ground, and set them up here, and shoot arrows nearby, and everyone will follow me." Di Yong arranged.

After a while, the feather arrows suppressed a few times, and Di Yong quickly climbed to the top of the long ladder, desperately climbing up, followed by a large string. There are seven or eight long ladders on the left and right, which are full of people for a moment.

The feather arrow stopped immediately, and as soon as Di Yong raised his head, the face of the party member was face to face with him, and the big stone in the party person's hand had already smashed down.

Di Yong hurriedly poked the spear upward, and the stone smashed on Di Yong's shoulder, sparking sparks, Di Yong jumped up in a few steps, and took advantage of the gap when the man moved the stone again, and was already standing on the battlement.

Di Yong went up, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and lifted up the man who bent down to carry the stone in front of him, and stabbed seven or eight party spears around him, all of which stabbed the person who was being carried by Di Yong.

Without waiting for the enemy to stab again, Di Yong swept the spear and swept out a little gap, and another person had already jumped up at the battlement.

Ganqi, who was watching the battle from afar, was obviously also paying attention to this scene, his fists clenched, and he didn't say a word.

Zhang Ji beside him was excited: "Sir, that's General Di, General Di is really brave, he went up ......"

Gan Qi still didn't speak, his eyes kept glued to the distant wall.

Di Yong really went up, there was a steady stream of people behind him, and dozens of people went up in a moment, but it was the city wall, crowded between people, and the party members were also brave and did not retreat, and on the city wall, it was just a stalemate and bloody battle.

Di Yong poked his head out of the battlement and shouted below: "Bring the wooden shield up, quickly, wooden shield." ”

In the battle for the city wall, the two sides huddle together and stab each other, and if there is a wooden shield in front of them, it is an advantage.

"Xianggong, stabilized, stabilized the battle line, this time slowly fight, you will be able to break the city." Zhang Qi was so excited that he even jumped up.

Gan Qi shook his head and said, "A bloody battle, the outcome is unpredictable." The party's desire to die really exceeded my expectations. ”

Gan Qi didn't think that the party members would fight bravely, but today's meeting was still beyond Gan Qi's expectations, even if the city wall had been hit, the party members did not panic at all, and still went forward to fight.

Gan Qi knew the importance of the Iron Gate Pass, and obviously the party people knew that the twelve or thirteen-year-old party children at the head of the city were stabbed to death on the spot as soon as they took a look, but there were still twelve or thirteen-year-old children who desperately went forward to fight.

Obviously, there is a reason why the party can establish a state between the two great powers of Song and Liao. Song Liao is rotten, and compared with the party, it is rotten. A country with a population of 2 million has been fighting a war with a country of 10,000 people for more than 30 years, and it is still being fought today.

Just as Gan Qi was nervously watching the city, a fast horse galloped towards Jiangtai, shouting: "Eight hundred miles to expedite the holy decree, the holy decree has arrived." ”

Gan Qi heard the cry and frowned.

The knight galloped to the Jiangtai and shouted: "Gan Xianggong, the holy decree from Tokyo, you can take a look, it must be important to come in a hurry for 800 miles." ”

Gan Qi took a wooden box, and when he opened it, there was a splendid bag, and inside the bag was the holy decree.

When he got the holy decree, Gan Qi didn't look at it, but first waved it back and left, and then opened it.

Before opening it, Gan Qi already had a little premonition, so he waved back left and right, and after opening it, sure enough, the more he thought about bad things, the more bad things would come.

After reading the holy decree, Gan Qi's face did not change, and slowly rolled up the holy decree.

Withdraw from the army and negotiate peace?

Isn't your brain broken?

Gan Qi was thinking about countermeasures, low eyebrows and contemplation, shouting and wailing filled his ears, and Gan Qi looked up at the battle situation at the head of the city from time to time, frowning and pondering.

After thinking for a long time, Gan Qi raised his hand and beckoned the knight who sent the holy decree.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Please give instructions to the prime minister." ”

Ganchi didn't give any instructions, but asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"Villain, Yanzhou people."

"From which inn did the decree come from?" Eight hundred miles of expeditious, that is, to change horses and people along the way, all the way to gallop, relying on the post station system and the state capital along the way, one horse and one journey, galloping at full speed.

"Dingxiyi."

"You're a postman?" Ganchi asked again.

"The villain is the pawn of Dingxi Station." This post man was obviously a little puzzled, I don't know why this Gan Xianggong asked so many words knowingly?

"What's your name?"

"Villain Ma Kang."

Gan Qi looked at Ma Kang's age and asked, "How many people are in the family?" ”

"My mother died early, my eldest brother died young, my father just died, the villain is my father's errand, I haven't married a wife yet, there is no one at home, and there are many relatives." Ma Kang replied, but he was inexplicably a little frightened.

Gan Qi nodded, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "In the future, you will not be called Ma Kang, you will be called Ma Li, and you will not be from Yanzhou, but from Qinzhou, you are a soldier who came to Yanyun from the northwest to serve as a soldier in the past, and now you are the leader of my personal guard camp." You didn't send any holy decree today, do you understand? ”

Ma Kangxing may understand, Xing may not understand, but whether he understands it or not, he saw him kneeling: "What the Xianggong says, what is it, the Xianggong said that the villain is Qinzhou Ma Li, and the villain is Qinzhou Ma Li." ”

Gan Qi was satisfied and waved his hand: "Stand under the stage." ”

Ma Li hurriedly went to the stage to stand down, with a million questions in his heart, but he could only be confused.

On the platform, Gan Qi tucked the decree into his boots, stood still, and looked at the city in the distance again.

At this time, Zhang Ji slowly walked up to the stage and asked: "Sir, this big victory, Your Majesty is a holy decree to reward the three armies?" ”

Gan Qi didn't look back, just looked into the distance, and replied softly: "What? What holy decree? ”

Zhang Qi looked down and saw the holy decree inserted in Gan Qi's boots, but he heard Gan Qi's words, and he was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "Oh, there is no holy decree, the student is saying that the iron gate will be laid, and His Majesty will definitely issue an order to reward the three armies at that time!" ”

Gan Qi nodded: "Well, that's natural, the emperor's grace is mighty, and he won't treat the meritorious soldiers badly." ”

Zhang Qi nodded and arched his hand, stopped talking, and looked up at the bloody battle at the head of the city.

The sun is setting, and the three-way drum is about to come to an end.
