Text Chapter 232 Iron Wall Seven

also watched the generals retreat first, stroked his beard slowly, and played with the paperweight on the case in one hand.

Jiang Bin opened his mouth to inquire: "Your Excellency is in such a hurry to attack the city, is it because you are worried that the situation will change?" Is it the southβ€”"

He also focused on his head first: "Don't hide it, sir, due to the repeated attacks by thieves on messengers, there has been no news from the military newspaper in the Juzhou camp for two days, and there is a fear that something abnormal will happen, so I have to take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"Since there may be a change in the direction of the Juzhou battalion, whether the general will send a force to the south, if the matter is in time, the military strength of the Juzhou battalion can also be strengthened to prevent thieves, if there is a change, it can also be found as soon as possible and the police can be called in time, and our army can respond as soon as possible."

"Exactly! Yesterday, there was still a reinforcement from Yidu that had not attacked the city today, and the men and horses were complete, and the morale was still sufficient, so it made the whole team go south after dinner. "Also bow your head first. The loss of these Japanese troops was not small, Yidu Road not only transferred the Han army stationed in nearby prefectures and counties to make up for the losses, but also began to recruit additional reserve troops, and at the same time, the rebel army of Meng Qing, Tian Hui and other departments also called for reserves in their hometowns.

On this day, after all the units of the Yuan army were full of food, and then rested for about an hour, they also ordered the drums to be beaten, and the generals were sent to take turns out of the camp to attack the city. Then order a team of guards to supervise behind the formation, and those who dare to retreat and hesitate before the formation will be killed!

There are only two gates in the north and south of Linqu City, and it has been attacking the north gate with all its might, and only more than 2,000 troops have been arranged outside the south gate to set up camp. He did not completely block the south gate, but also hoped to leave a seemingly possible way for the enemy to survive, as long as the thief army escaped from the city, without the assistance of field fortifications, Li Zhenxiong's cavalry could give full play to the advantage of encircling and chasing!

During the day, the people were used as the forerunner, and the Yuan army was mixed in, causing great casualties to the defenders in the city, and the casualties of the Yuan army have come out, with more than 300 dead and more than 500 wounded, and it is estimated that the casualties of the defenders are definitely not more than 500, or even 700.

Such a large casualty in one day naturally had a great impact on the morale of both sides, but the Yuan army was the attacker, had the initiative, and had a relative advantage, so it naturally didn't care about it at first.

This night, the various departments of the Yuan army took turns to attack the city, and the fierceness of the offensive was completely beyond the expectations of Ji Xiancheng and Mingxiong and others, fortunately, the door hole of the north city gate had already been filled with bricks and loess by Ji Xiancheng, and the Yuan army was unable to adopt the method of seizing the city gate, and there was only one way to go to the city.

In order to consume the stones and trees on the city and shake the morale of the defenders, after dark, he also continued to drive nearly 1,000 people to the city in the Yuan army. Numerous torches were lit above and below the city walls.

Seeing the black crowd pouring in, the defenders could not distinguish who was the soldier and who was the people, so they could only throw stones and trees regardless of the soldiers and civilians.

The helpless people couldn't dodge at all, so they could only climb up tremblingly, because as long as they hesitated or retreated, the pawn behind them raised their bright steel knives to greet them, crying for their fathers and mothers, and they didn't know how many people died!

It was also known that the defenders were no longer tolerant, and once again drove the people to go to the city in a mixed manner, one was to consume the stones of the defenders in the city, and the other was that the people wailed and groaned, hoping to greatly weaken the defenders' will to resist and disturb their military morale.

Therefore, he also ordered the Yuan army of all departments to drive away strongly, and the people had many hesitant and howling begging, but they were not allowed, and those who did not obey were killed!

In fact, some of the defenders were soft-hearted, and when they saw that some people had landed in the city, they let them come up, but the lights were dim, and it was inevitable that there would be times when they could not be identified, which caused some Yuan troops to take the opportunity to jump on the city, which increased the difficulty and casualties of the defenders. An observation post reported the situation to Yexian, and then made an inventive move, ordering some soldiers to cover their armor with people's clothes, and secretly carry daggers and short knives to the city.

The defenders did not notice it for a while, and the Yuan army took advantage of the gap to enter, and in a moment, there were no less than 100 people who made noise.

Mu Chun happened to be resting in the rear wheel, seeing that the situation was urgent, he straightened out his subordinates, and then urgently ordered more than a dozen sergeants to follow, and the people who went to the city separately, carrying two iron hammers, should meet first.

In the first two wars, Mu Chun found that the use of iron hammers in foot combat was extremely advantageous, and he had great strength, wielding two iron hammers of twenty or thirty catties each like wooden sticks. Moreover, these two iron hammers were specially found by him, and the heads and handles were made of fine iron, and although they were already marked by the knife and the axe, they did not affect their use.

The handle of the hammer was about four feet, and Mu Chun stood firmly in the middle of the passage, waving his hands up and down, and the hammer shadows around his body almost occupied more than half of the passage at the head of the city.

Seeing his bravery, the Yuan army howled and attacked under the high reward. Mu Chun killed sex, ignoring the other party's swords and guns, just waving like a windmill with both hands, facing the opposite, occasionally standing on his heels, his upper body slightly avoiding the attacking sword, and then hammering it over, and in the shouting, more than forty people were hammered down in a row!

The pawns behind him were all shocked, seeing that he was covered in blood, roaring like thunder, and all the pawns who were close to him died, they couldn't help but hesitate and cowered into a ball.

Mu Chun was unforgiving, so he exhaled and drank one step at a time, and the hammer danced even more impermeable, and all the enemy soldiers who stood in the way were either knocked away by him, or pushed each other and fell off the city. More than 100 people who had already landed in the city were killed by them one by one, and more than 30 people were killed, and the Yuan army retreated in a panic!

When Lao Jing led the rear team to catch up and protect Mu Chun, he saw that Mu Chun had exhausted his strength, his hair was blind, he stood up at the head of the city, and looked down on the city, and the Yuan army did not dare to face it! The armor on his body was damaged and cracked in many places, and hot blood gushed back and forth.

Mu Chun's body was stiff at this time, so that he lost his strength, and could no longer move, everyone carefully carried it down the city head and hurried to heal, Yu Zhilong heard it later, and sighed repeatedly: "General Mu, the middle iron pillar, the head of the city is stepping to see the grandeur!" ”

After that, Ji Xiancheng ordered the whole army to strictly prohibit the kindness of women, no matter who ascends the city, just try their best to kill and injure! The Yuan army had no chance.

After a night of fierce fighting until dawn, the two sides fought endlessly.

At dawn, Luo Tier took his own brothers and led a group of Yuan troops to roar into the city. At this time, the defenders of the city were extremely tired. The timing was extremely favorable, and the breakthrough was a half-collapsed section of the city wall, which had been overwhelmed by repeated repairs.

Although the personal entourage of these people did not know the battle formation and cooperation, but their personal martial arts skills far surpassed the Menghan soldiers, and the Shuntian army guarding the defense did not notice for a while, and they broke through the city again, and some of the pioneers even attacked dozens of meters away from the city.

At the critical juncture, Mingxiong, Luo Cheng and others personally waved their knives to resist, continuously organized counterattacks, Wan Jinhai, Gu Qing and others sacrificed their lives to assist, in the battlefield within a radius of several hundred meters, both sides were killed and wounded no less than two or three hundred, the corpses accumulated two or three layers, and after the ground was red, the Shuntian army finally drove the Yuan army back.

In the melee, the greedy Luo Tier was temporary, and he actually grabbed out of the guard circle and was injured by the rushing Mingxiong. Luo Tier's relatives snatched the little prince in a swarm, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe and was sent back to the Yuan army camp, unlucky is a Han army hundred households Wang Shiming, Mingxiong saw that Luo Tieer was snatched back, his heart was very anxious, he knew Luo Tieer, a big military achievement was missed, and he was annoyed in his heart, seeing that Wang Shiming was just stopping on the road, without saying a word, he rose up and killed the young Han army hundred households a few times.

Wang Shiming was originally the grandson of Wang Ying of Yidu, because Wang De was old and could not go into battle, this grandson has always been well-behaved, very popular, and familiar with Luo Tier, so he came to Yidu with him, but he gave his name.

Seeing the tragic battle, Luo Tier's other companions, such as Lin, Zhong, and Yan, were so frightened that they extinguished their thoughts of taking advantage of the situation to make meritorious contributions, and they all smeared oil on the soles of their feet and withdrew to the rear camp.

The head of the palace also asked for instructions, but because the little prince was injured, he asked to resign and return to Yidu. also allowed him to go first, and carefully arranged for the army to accompany him along the way. also ordered Lin, Zhong, Yan and other sons and buddies to guard, these people saw the situation, and after bowing down, they returned to Yidu together.

Thinking that they were happy when they came, but they returned to Yidu in two days, Meng Jiashan sneered in his heart after knowing it, and sighed a little, and finally had the opportunity to get acquainted with Luo Tier, but he missed it.

By the time the morning light shone a bright red, several city walls in the north of Linqu City, which had been fighting fiercely all night, had been terribly damaged. On each side of the north gate, a section of the wall had collapsed in half, and the defenders had to scrape together a barrier with wooden cages and stones. The corpses on the ground near the wall outside the city have been piled up layer by layer, nearly one person high! Stumps and arms were broken, swords, spears and spears were discarded everywhere, corpses were mixed with both sides of the enemy, and many civilians were killed in them.

With the sound of the gong of the retreat of the Yuan army, the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had no intention of attacking the city, retreated one after another, and most of the defenders at the head of the city sat on the city weakly, unable to send out a cry of joy to repel the enemy.

In order to resist the enemy, the rolling wood and stones in the city were almost exhausted, and finally they had to demolish some of the houses and obtain the wood and stones. Since the battle, the beds and catapults have been completely destroyed, and the hot oil, gold juice and other materials have been almost exhausted.

Now all the soldiers in the city are looking forward to Yu Zhilong's department heading south.

It has been seven days since they went south, and they should have returned to Linqu a long time ago according to the plan, but why has there been no news so far?

After this field battle, Ji Xiancheng ordered Chang Zhi, Qu Bo, Wan Jinhai and others to prepare to fight in the city. At the same time, Xie Lin and Fang Xue were ordered to set up a wall at the main street entrance, and once the city was broken, they would fight in the streets of the city.

After listening to Ji Xiancheng's military order, Wan Jinhai and several other generals couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, then Yu Zhilong wouldn't have lost his car and was handsome! Although Ji Xiancheng had already told them all about the Jing'an Army's plan, there was no news in the day, and many people inevitably had some ideas.

"General Fei will never fail us!" Ji Xiancheng faced the suspicions of Wan Jinhai and others, and cut the railway. "If the two generals Yu and Zhao are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can the Jing'an army come to today's situation?"

"It's just that the two generals are not in the city, and the people below will inevitably have some ideas. Looking at the offensive of this Tartar, I am afraid that this city will not be able to hold for a few days! Wan Jinhai is still not at ease. Liu Qi, the old brother, didn't vote for the Tartars, and caused Qin Zhanshan to be beheaded in front of the battle!

Although Qu Bo and Xia Houen did not speak, they were also suspicious at this time.

"Brother Yu is a person who does great things, how can he not believe his words? Besides, the Tartar offensive is so impatient and violent, I'm afraid that the south was captured by Brother Yu before the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry! If General Fei goes south and loses, why won't the Tartars make a big fuss? Chang Zhi clutched his aching chest and argued hoarsely. He was hit with a hammer in the chest, but fortunately he was not broken and was still able to fight, but coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

As soon as everyone heard it, what Chang Zhi said also made sense. If Yu Zhilong's army is defeated, the Tartars will definitely make a big fuss and weaken the defenders. The more rapid the Yuan army's offensive, it means that Yu Zhilong may succeed.

"It's just that this night there are many good brothers!" Qu Bo sighed. Ji Xiancheng was speechless, a general has achieved ten thousand bones, in just a few days, the Shuntian army has suffered three or four thousand casualties, and the Yuan army has lost even more, and there are nearly a thousand prisoners in the city alone!

"General Fei will definitely come back!" This is Yu Lan constantly comforting the wounded soldiers and local county citizens in the city. The Yuan army continued to attack, and the casualties in the city increased greatly, and it was inevitable that some people in the city gradually lost confidence. The sisters of the Yulan organization were smiling and washing and bandaging the wounds of the soldiers of various departments; Distribute food to people in the streets and alleys, and at the same time boost people's morale.

"General Fei captured the city for the people on that day, and he will not fail us today!" This is Tian Lie's impassioned declaration in the school. Many students of different ages, and even some Confucian scholars, were among them.

"We study the book of sages, we should follow the way of sages, although we are weak today, we can't go to the battlefield, we can also carry stone and lotus pulp for the army, boys, etc., and study in the school, and the rest can also help the army with me!"

A middle-aged and beautiful woman in the street and alley helped in the noble baggage camp for days after that, almost sleeplessly, and there were dozens of middle-aged women around her to do things one after another. This is Mingxiong's inner room, and when he heard that the battle situation was becoming dangerous, he also went out of the house and came to the army to help. At this time, dozens of wounded soldiers and refugees from outside the city had already settled in Mingxiong's house.

At this time, the Han prisoners who were detained were also worried in their hearts, they listened to the fierce battle for several days, and last night was the most intense, even in the middle of the night, they could see the shadowy fire in the north of the city. Although they are the Yuan court Han army, they don't want the Yuan army to break the city! If the Suncheon army wins, they may also recruit or release them, and they have a better chance of survival, but if the defenders find that they have won or lost, they are likely to kill the prisoners first to vent their anger!

In the first room of the county prison, Jia Daozhen sat quietly on a bench, as the thousands of households of the Yuan Dynasty Han Army, no matter what the victory or defeat outside, his fate seemed to be only to cut off his head. Recalling that day when he was captured by Mingxiong, Jia Daozhen felt bitter in his heart. The two have known each other for many years, have a great friendship, and both have the ambition to make contributions, but Jia Daozhen is more good at drilling, and finally promoted to thousands of households, while Mingxiong has thousands of chests and superb martial arts, but he is a high-minded person, and he has been in the position of 100 households for many years. It was also because Jia Daozhen put more of his mind on the drill camp that he neglected to practice martial arts and was captured by Mingxiong.

A team of soldiers was stationed in the cell, nervously monitoring these Yuan prisoners, and from time to time someone came in to check the movement. Just in case, Guo Fengrong put a wooden flail or iron on each of them.

I recommend a book "The Will of the State", the content is about the Sino-Indian War, not obscene, the author's military weapons and geography are very solid, and the situation deduction is good. The moon is chasing it.
