Chapter 198: Bravely Breaking Yanqing
"Do you want to withdraw the troops!" Qu Ping sighed and said, the golden soldiers in the city counterattacked so fiercely, how many lives of the Song soldiers needed to be exchanged to capture the city.
Qu Ping, Yue Fei and other senior generals stood on the high platform, and the battle situation below was in full view. The Jin soldiers were in five rows on the city tower, attacking the Song soldiers in an orderly manner, and the Song army was seriously injured.
With this, it can be seen that Yan Zongbi's military talent is complete, this person can attack and defend well, brave and strategic, if he is an enemy, he is a big trouble, and if he is a friend, he is like a tiger.
Yue Fei said: "Marshal, the moat has been filled, and if you collect troops at this time, won't your efforts be wasted?" The arrows and stones of the Jin army are one less than one, and the manpower is sometimes exhausted, I don't believe that our army of more than 200,000 people will not be able to kill him! ”
Not only Yue Fei, but many generals were unwilling to give up halfway. If you can't take it today, it will be even more difficult for him tomorrow! Is it necessary to wait for the next batch of ammunition supplies to come up before attacking, and when will it be? If the Jin army took advantage of the situation to counterattack and regain the lost territory, it would be even more difficult for the Song army.
There is a way that once it prospers, then it declines, three and it is exhausted, and fourth, and it is only waiting for death.
Jiang Boyan said: "Marshal, the last general is willing to bring a box of explosives to the city gate, as long as the city gate is blown up, Yanqing City is at your fingertips!" ”
The city gate weighs a thousand pounds, and only a bombshell can blow it up.
Therefore, Qu Ping is worried: "This technology is not mature enough, and the chances of success are not great." ”
"As long as there is a possibility, the last general is willing to give it a try!" Jiang Boyan said fearlessly.
Qu Ping looked at Jiang Boyan tightly, Jiang Boyan's eyes were extremely firm, those who achieve great things must dare to dedicate themselves.
Qu Ping said: "Do you remember every detail I taught you? ”
Jiang Boyan thought about it in his heart and replied, "I haven't forgotten! ”
Qu Ping said: "Okay, then you go!" By the way, there is a big bell in the ruined temple outside the city, go and find the big bell, you hide in the bell with explosives, and transport you to the city gate with a cart carrying cannons. ”
Yue Fei said: "In this way, General Jiang can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Qu Ping then asked the herald to inform the other defenders on three sides that if his side attacked the city, Wanyan Zongbi might break through or abscond at any time, and he must not let anyone go. It is even better to kill by mistake than to let it go!
Not long after, the soldiers found a large bell from the ruined temple, which was as tall as a man.
The bell was carried onto the gun cart by many people, Jiang Boyan took the explosives and hid in the bell without hesitation, closely escorted by hundreds of soldiers, mixed in the second wave of 10,000 soldiers, and rushed towards the enemy.
The generals prayed in their hearts: "Jiang Boyan, success or failure depends on you!" ”
Qu Ping then ordered: "General Yue led the cavalry to listen to the order at any time, and as soon as the city gate was broken, he immediately sent troops to capture the city gate." Wang Zhiquan, together with General Yue, led the Shenji Battalion to defend the Jin soldiers behind the city gate, and must blow up the enemy with grenades! ”
Yue Fei and Wang Zhiquan said in unison: "Yes! ”
After saying that, he went down to the high platform to prepare.
In addition, Qu Ping ordered Han Shizhong of the East Gate to lead his troops to retreat and ambush, pretending that the East Gate was defenseless.
The golden soldiers in the city saw that the Song soldiers were approaching the city with a big bell, although they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, but it was definitely not a gift. Therefore, the Jin soldiers focused on the big bell as the target of attack, and fired stone-throwing arrows with their heads and faces. If Jiang Boyan hadn't stuffed cotton in his ears in advance, he would have been shocked by the stone at this time.
With the second wave of 10,000 Song soldiers joining the siege ranks, the Jin army came under even greater pressure.
The heavy siege ladder finally reached the city walls.
This siege ladder is made of heavy materials, and there are sharp hooks at the far end, once it is on the wall, it is by no means easy to push.
The Song soldiers braved the rain of arrows and stones to climb the siege ladder fearlessly, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind continued to climb up with their shields.
The Jin army then poured oil on the siege ladder from above, and a fire was lit, and it was immediately furious.
The siege ladder was set on fire with the Song soldiers on top, and the Song soldiers fell from it one after another, falling into the crowd of their own soldiers with a heavy fire, and the city was also burned into a sea of fire, like a hell on earth.
At this time, the big bell where Jiang Boyan was hiding was finally transported to the city gate arch bridge.
Jiang Boyan drilled out the bell with explosives, ordered the surrounding Song soldiers to evacuate, and then rushed to the iron gate.
The iron door was opened to the left and right, and there was a huge iron bolt bolt behind the door.
Jiang Boyan thought about it for a while, and felt that the hinge of the door on one side was better than blowing it through the crack in the middle door, so he removed two long boards from the frame of the big bell just now, one was used to support the explosives, and the other was used to resist the jammed explosives, so that the explosives were just at the position of the hinges of the right door.
Jiang Boyan repeatedly checked the location of the explosive bag to confirm that there should be no problem, then took out the flint and lit the fuse, turned around and hid behind the corner of the city gate.
"Boom! ——”
A wave of heat rushed out of the city arch with flames, and Jiang Boyan hid far away from the corner, still dizzy from the shock. In the moment just now, the world was really spinning.
Jiang Boyan braved the heat and smoke to look at the city gate, it was great, not only the iron gate on the right had flown into the city, but the gate on the left was also half hanging on the wall.
Jiang Boyan trembled his hands, took out a whistle arrow and shot it into the air.
Qu Ping had been staring at this side for a long time, and as soon as the order flag was unfurled, Yue Fei and Wang Zhiquan led their troops to rush to the city gate at a high speed.
In just one mile, the war horse rushed out at a speed of seventy kilometers per hour like an arrow from a string, and soon rushed under the city gate. Let's look for books
The Jin soldiers were a little frightened by the bang, but the Jin Wushu was always on high alert in the city, and immediately ordered the Jin soldiers to go to surround the city gate, and they must not let the Song army enter the city.
The Song army opened the way with grenades and crossbows, and neither the infantry nor cavalry of the Jin army could get within fifty steps of the city gate. The Song army rushed into the city, and the Jin soldiers fired from all sides on the city walls and on the ground, and the Song army inevitably died.
However, the firepower of the Song army was strong, and it was difficult for the Jin soldiers on the ground to force the Song army to retreat, but they were forced to retreat by the Song army's grenades.
The Song soldiers outside the city walls were not idle, and continued to intensify their attacks on the high ground of the city walls by seizing the high ground from the siege ladders.
After Yan Zongbi's armor never left, he stepped on the horse and carried the mace to personally go into battle to boost morale.
A general hurriedly came to report: "Marshal, the Song army has also launched an attack from the south gate and the north gate!" ”
"Marshal, the West Gate has been lost, the Song army is far superior to me, and when he continues to enter the city, we will be finished! Marshal, there are no Song soldiers at the east gate, let's break through from the east gate, and stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood. Marshal, with you, there is still hope for Daikin! ”
Another subordinate was puzzled: "Why did the Song army let go of the east gate alone?" I'm afraid there's an ambush, marshal? ”
Wanyan Zongbi thought for a while and said, "Song Jun was afraid that we would die fighting a fish, so he deliberately opened the net. ”
"Marshal, the Song army has already climbed the western city wall!" Another general hurriedly came to report.
After Yan Zongbi's heart was broken, is Yanqing City, which has been running for many years, going to abandon it like this, this is Dajin's Xijing! The loss of Xijing announced the complete return of the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty, which would be the prelude to the shame and humiliation of the Jin Kingdom. And he will become a sinner of Daikin.
Wanyan Zongbi gritted his teeth and ordered: "Open the east gate, let the people in the city open the road in front and block the road in the rear, and retreat immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
"Slowly, burn all the money and food that can be burned in the house, and you must not leave anything useful to Song Jun!" Wanyan Zongbi said again.
“…… Yes, sir! ”
After Yan Zongbi had 70,000 soldiers in the city, in order to delay the Song army from entering the city on three sides, leaving 50,000 soldiers behind, he burned all the valuable and useful things that could be seen and could not be taken away, and he took 20,000 soldiers to escort the people in the city out of the east gate, looking at the direction of Dadingfu in Zhongjing.
Now the west gate has been broken, the north and south gates are also about to be broken, the three armies have entered the city, how can the golden soldiers have the power to fight.
Qu Ping personally led the rear army to enter the west gate, and sent two troops to the north and south gates to help open the city gate.
Wanyan Zongbi opened the east gate, drove a group of people to open the road in front, and moved the 300-meter horse to open a road. Seeing that there were no Song soldiers in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart Fortunately, the Song army did not have the courage to break the net and lose both, otherwise it would be surrounded on all sides, and he would definitely not be able to retreat.
There is no obstacle from the Song army in front, and the rejection of the horse has been moved, and the common people in front as shields are useless.
Wanyan Zongbi ordered the troops to drive the people to both sides and led the troops to accelerate the retreat.
Wanyan Zongbi retreated not far away, only to hear a drum in the east, and tens of thousands of Song army flags flew to kill head-on.
The first general shouted: "After Yan Zongbi is a child, he will die quickly!" ”
But it was Han Shizhong who led 40,000 ambush soldiers and killed them in person.
Wanyan Zongbi and Han Shizhong looked at each other across the Great Wall all the year round, how could they not know that the other party was powerful. Now several generals of the Song Army are besieging Yanqing Mansion, and their lives are in danger!
At this time, the 20,000 Jin army was just less than two miles away from the rejection of the horse, there was a strong enemy in front, and a large area of the horse was blocked in the back, and there was only a road temporarily opened up in the middle. It was originally used to block the rejection of the Song army, but now it became an obstacle to the retreat of the Jin soldiers.
Wanyan Zongbi looked back at the blazing Yanqing City, and had the idea of turning around and returning to the city for a moment, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and then turning around and retreating into the city was tantamount to digging his own grave.
Wanyan Zongbi was on the horse, and at this moment he seemed to be a lonely hero, arrogant and arrogant.
He shouted: "Soldiers, there is no way to retreat, everyone follow me forward to break out of the encirclement, in front, is the direction of home!" Kill!! ”
Now that he is fighting against all odds and surviving in a desperate situation, no one wants to die, and he may be able to break through with a bloody path.
As the saying goes, it is better to chase the poor and block the route. Under the threat of death, Jin Bing was like a trapped beast, vowing to fight to the death.
Wan Yan Zongbi's move to kidnap the horse has already been seen through by the Song army, Wan Yan Zongbi ordered most of the troops to rush forward, and he led 3,000 cavalry to break through from the left flank, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
The unarmed people who were driven out of the city by the Jin soldiers fled to the gap between the horses with their heads in their hands, squatting and trying to stay away from the danger. Some people saw the fire in the city and wanted to go home to rescue their wives and children, but they had just run to the city gate, only to see a long column of Song troops rushing out of the city, with the cavalry taking the lead, followed by the infantry army.
The first white horse and silver spear was Qu Ping, who was riding a little white dragon, and next to him was Yue Fei, who was in gold armor and red cloak.
"Be sure to catch the Golden Vulture!" Qu Ping said.
After speaking, the two of them each led a road to kill the golden soldiers in front of them.
It was even more difficult for the golden soldiers to suffer from the enemy on their backs, and even if they had just ignited the courage of the trapped beast, it was inevitable that their morale would be frustrated.
Qu Ping killed the Jin soldiers, until he met Han Shizhong's generals opposite, and still didn't see Yan Zongbi. Qu Ping had a plan in his mind, and asked the soldiers around him to shout, "Wanyan Zongbi is dead, surrender quickly."
This method really worked, and the Jin soldiers gradually believed it to be true, and some of the Jin soldiers who had no fighting spirit abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the spot, begging for a living.
Dead morale spread among the Kim army.
"Grandpa is here!" Suddenly, I heard a loud shout from Jin Junzhong.
