Chapter 324: Attacking Yanjing 7

It turned out that the people on the wall of Yanjing City poured not boiling water, but water from the well. There were many people, and they were concentrated on the top of the wall of earth below, and the water seemed to open the floodgates in an instant.

Buckets of water were poured on the soil bags that the Song soldiers had built up, and the Song soldiers were originally simple because of their ugliness, and they used some cloth bags to fill some soil here, and even used cloth to wrap some soil, dump the soil here and then take away the cloth and then go to load the soil. In addition, the Song soldiers piled up the soil layer by layer, and the cloth bag containing the soil had already been trampled on. So this bag is actually a large pile of earth gathered under the city wall. Now the water poured on it washed down like a raging river, and coupled with the Song soldiers trampling back and forth on the earthen bag, it was suddenly water and mud.

In the area of Yanjing, yellow clay is the majority. After the rain, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, which means that once the yellow clay is mixed into mud, it is sticky and soft, and it is difficult to walk an inch.

When the water was first poured down, Song Bing didn't care much about it, but the more he stepped on it, the more sticky the mud became; The more you step on it, the more yellow mud there is. In addition, the soil on the top flowed down with the water that had been poured down, so that the dirt bag that had just been built up was about to turn into a muddy pond. Song Bing complained bitterly on it, not to mention building ladders to climb the city, it was difficult to even walk.

Zhao Fujin looked at it from afar, and felt that this was a war game, this big thief was simply bad, he used any trick, he listened to those guards in the palace talk about attacking the city and plundering the land, and he had never heard of using water and mud to retreat the enemy army.

"Scoundrel!" Zhao Fujin whispered.

Pan Zhu next to him didn't hear what Zhao Fujin said, and said, "Auntie, looking at this formation, if Liu Dutong wants to attack it, I'm afraid it will be difficult." It seems that you still have to come forward to persuade you to surrender. ”

Zhao Fujin also felt that Liu Yanqing was not an opponent surnamed Zhou, and said to Pan Zhu: "This time I persuaded the rebels to surrender to the rebels and took Yanjing City, you and the other four people also have a lot of merit, and after returning to the capital, it is necessary for your father to promote the four of you." ”

Pan Zhu thanked him and said, "I just want to be able to seal a palm print general." Ma Xiong also hurriedly thanked: "The little one only asks for this escort general." The other two people already knew the origin of Pan Zhu and General Ma Xiong, and also said: "Emperor Ji, then the two of us are the generals who open the road." ”

Zhao Fujin said with a smile: "Quasi! After returning to Beijing, listen to the seal. ”

At this time, Commander Wu also rushed over with his men, and it turned out that the Song soldiers around the Chinese army had gathered forward, and there was probably a new siege deployment. Commander Wu was worried that Zhao Fujin would lose in the army, and when he saw that Zhao Fujin was here in the Chinese army, he hurriedly rushed over.

At this time, I only heard the horn sound continuously, and Commander Wu's face changed, and he said, "It's time to attack the city!" ”

Zhao Fujin asked strangely, "Isn't it a siege now?" ”

Commander Wu's face was solemn, and he said: "Now this horn sound is an order for all soldiers to start attacking the city, only to advance, not to retreat!" ”

Zhao Fujin asked puzzledly: "How to attack the city?" ”

Commander Wu shook his head helplessly, no longer answered, and just looked at the city.

Where Zhao Fujin is at this time is where the Chinese army is, and it is more suitable for viewing than the small mound behind just now. Zhao Fujin stood on the wooden platform that was built, and saw Song soldiers from all directions rushing to the city wall, some swimming through the river, and some flowing through the channel that had just been filled in the river. Some even put the ladder horizontally on the surface of the river, holding the ladder and struggling to cross the river.

The Wansheng army on the city wall also began to shoot arrows downwards to prevent the Song soldiers from crossing the river. However, with the sound of the horn several times, none of the Song soldiers retreated, and one by one they all climbed onto the north bank of the moat and began to erect a ladder. The Song soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell on the shore, or were swept downstream with the river, and the river flowed east with the blood.

As more and more Song soldiers gathered under the city wall, the Wansheng army at the head of the city specially selected the Song soldiers who climbed the ladder to shoot, and if an arrow was shot, it would definitely hit a Song soldier, and at the same time, a voice came out from the "suona" on the city head: "Song army brothers, don't die for your generals!" It's not worth dying! ”

The shouts were clearly heard under the shouting city, and many Song soldiers looked at the ladder in despair, and all those who climbed the ladder were shot in the leg by an arrow from the defenders of the city, and the pain was unbearable, and they fell down from the ladder. The arrows were impartial, but none of them were shot in the vital parts and died.

Seeing the comrades who had fallen down earlier wailing on the ground, the Song soldiers surrounding the ladder slowed down, and no one dared to climb up again for a while. They were all waiting for the generals above to give the order to retreat.

At this time, I could only hear the sound of arrows behind me, and several Song soldiers were shot down next to the ladder, but the arrows were all stuck in the back.

The Song soldiers hurriedly looked back, only to see that the soldiers behind them who were supervising the battle with the commander Liu Yanqing shot arrows at the retreating Song soldiers, urging them to climb ladders to attack the city. The Song soldiers had to climb up slowly, as if they wanted a mountain of knives.

Zhao Fujin suddenly shouted: "How to shoot your own people?!" ”

Pan Zhu whispered on the side: "The generals supervise the battle, and they can naturally kill the soldiers who are cowering." ”

Zhao Fujin said: "How can this be reasonable?! As he was talking, he saw that the head of Yanjing City suddenly revealed a figure, the bow in his hand was full, the long arrow was on the string, and the cold light of the arrow cluster flashed under the sun, and then disappeared. And one of Liu Yanqing's personal soldiers who supervised the battle fell, and an arrow was stuck in his throat. As Liu Yanqing's personal soldier, he is naturally treated higher than ordinary soldiers, wearing a suit of armor, only the neck is the weakness of the bare leak, and at such a distance, an arrow was shot in the throat, this person's archery skills are so powerful.

Zhao Fujin looked carefully, the person who shot the arrow did not wear armor and did not carry weapons, it was the "lewd thief" Zhou Nan that Zhao Fujin often talked about. Although this arrow was the one who shot at his own side, Zhao Fujin suddenly lost the block in his chest just now, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting: "Good archery!" ”

This arrow frightened Liu Yanqing's personal soldiers to retreat one after another, and they couldn't care about supervising the battle.

Seeing this, Liu Yanqing had no choice but to order a retreat. The drums sounded, and the Song soldiers under the city wall retreated back to the south bank of the river. It's just that after the Song soldiers stopped climbing the ladder, the arrows of the Wansheng army on the city wall did not shoot down again.

After these drenched soldiers retreated, before they could catch their breath, they were grabbed by Liu Yanqing's own soldiers, about twenty or thirty, and they fell to the ground one by one. Zhao Fujin didn't know why, standing on the wooden platform to watch, and Commander Wu said on the side: "Please Emperor Ji look at him, don't watch it anymore." ”

Zhao Fujin asked, "What is this going to do?" Commander Wu hurriedly said: "This is Liu Dutong's military law!" ”

Zhao Fujin let out an "ah" in surprise, only to see Liu Yanqing's personal soldiers in the distance raise their knives one by one, and beheaded the soldiers who had just fallen to the ground, and then someone threw the corpse and head into the moat, and the blood coming out of the corpse dyed the river red at once, even if the river flowed again, the river was still blood-red.
