The rain was pouring down, and the Jin soldiers retreated after only two rounds of attack, and the quiet returned to the side of the towering city wall, but the hearts of the Song soldiers in the city were raised.

In the afternoon, just after the hour, the heavy rain stopped as if they came suddenly, and the sky, which was still black and oppressive just now, soon became blue, and a rainbow hung in the air in the distance, and the city was full of mud, proving that it had indeed rained just now.

The heat was washed away by the rain, and a certain soldier at the head of the city took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain, feeling the fresh smell in his nose, and suddenly his squinted eyes widened violently, and then shouted: "The golden soldier is here again!" The Golden Soldier is here again! ”

Whoa!

A series of swords came out of their sheaths and bows wound, and the city became tense again.

The Jin soldiers came again, and there was no more smoke and dust on the ground after the rain, and they could see more clearly and farther, so everyone found that the Jin soldiers who attacked this time were almost twice as many as just now.

Everyone's faces changed suddenly.

……

Sticky didn't drink and sat on the back of the horse, and sneered: "Okay, what a Xu Zizhen!" ”

Beside him there is a majestic red horse, but the person on the horseback is a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and his hair is scattered, looking very strange and sloppy, and the horse forms a very sharp contrast, the Taoist priest smiled, as if he wanted to pretend to be a fairy wind and bones, but unfortunately it was so obscene in the eyes of others.

"Don't worry about the right handsome, it's just a small defeat, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, the Song people think that our army is powerless, and they will relax, and those 'nails' in the city are almost time to move, don't ask to kill Zhao Gou and that Xu Zizhen, or only set fire in the city to create chaos, it can also greatly destroy its morale, and my army will attack the city at the same time, why worry about the city gate not broken?"

After hearing the words of this Taoist priest, his sticky face relaxed a lot, not for anything else, just because this Taoist priest is the famous Great Song Dynasty general, the notorious Guo Yaoshi in history, he was originally a Great Song Dynasty general, familiar with many military aircraft secrets in the Song Dynasty, since he treasoned and invested in gold, he led the Jin army all the way south, and easily broke through many cities.

From Emperor Wu to the ordinary soldiers, the Jin Kingdom is very contemptuous of Guo Yaoshi, but he knows his importance, especially this Guo Yaoshi has learned some Taoist techniques, of course, to put it bluntly, it is some tricks and deceptions, and now he is mixed with an inexplicable position of a military celestial master, so he wears a Taoist robe all day long to bluff people.

Just more than half a month ago, when the right army had not yet reached the north of Ying Tianfu, Guo Yao Shi secretly arranged nearly two hundred people, sneaked into the city while Ying Tianfu had not yet noticed, and then lurked in various parts of the city.

This is a chess piece laid by Guo Yaoshi, in order to be of great use today, he is right, there is a large army outside the city, the two hundred or so people in the city are assassinating and setting fire everywhere, the city must be in chaos, when the Song army is difficult to take care of, this city must be very easy, he has used this trick I don't know how many times, he is familiar with the road and the effect is excellent, this time will never be an exception.

"Guo Tianshi's Taoism is mysterious, and it is a pity that Xu Zizhen has a lot of tricks and prepared firearms that are not afraid of rain early, otherwise the army should have broken through the city at this time, and then rendezvous with those two hundred, and Zhao Gou'er will be captured alive!" I couldn't see a little disappointment in my eyes, and gritted my teeth and said, "But what the Heavenly Master said is true, a small defeat is nothing, the timing of the attack is right at this time, I want to see, Zhao Gou Xiao'er, Xu Zizhen, where are you going to escape!" ”

"My army has made a bucket around the city, where else can they flee? There's no other way to do it than wait for death, haha! ”

"Of course, the right commander is strategizing, and with the assistance of the heavenly master, if the southerners open the city and surrender, it will be fine, otherwise wait for the old men to enter the city and skin them one by one."

A few Jin generals next to him did not hesitate to flatter him, and Guo Yaoshi pretended to be a fairy again, obviously very proud, and finally recovered from the temporary defeat just now, and his face was slightly gloomy.

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The Jin army's attack this time dispatched 30,000 people, rushing straight from the vast plain north of Yingtianfu, these 30,000 troops still did not have any formation, running in a disorderly manner, because the rain stopped, and the firearms of the Song army at the head of the city could be used again.

Everyone in the city held their breath, and Zhang Shuye held the handle of the knife tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging due to excessive force, and his eyes were staring at the outside of the city wall, measuring the distance of the Jin army.

Eight hundred steps!

Five hundred steps!

Three hundred steps!

It's close, it's close!

"Hit!"

With Uncle Zhang's order, the artillery that had been silent for a while finally rang out again.

Rumble! Bang!

Cannonballs flew out of the city wall with a sharp whistling sound, and then shot into the enemy, this round is the largest artillery in the city, nothing else, that is, the cannonballs are big, the huge iron lumps are sprayed at a very high speed, rushing into the crowd and rolling wildly, no matter what kind of troops, they are injured and killed, only a few breaths, there are more than a dozen clear "cracks" in the golden soldiers all over the mountains.

It's just that the bravery of the Jin soldiers is not fake, not to mention that these 30,000 people are almost all former Liao soldiers and Bohai people, not the elite of the Jurchen tribe, there is an iron-faced and selfless overseer behind them, whoever dares to retreat will not only be beheaded, but will also be connected to his family, so none of these 30,000 people were scared away by this artillery, but all of them closed their eyes and gritted their teeth and rushed straight forward.

Two hundred steps!

One hundred steps!

It's approaching the city walls!

"Fight again!"

Uncle Zhang roared again, and suddenly bows and arrows flew down like rain, which was mixed with a crisp explosion from time to time, which was the boys of the science and engineering department using all kinds of firearms they had made themselves, such as rockets, fire gourds, small platoon guns, and so on.

The golden soldiers fell one by one on the open space outside the city like cutting leeks, but after all, there were many people, and finally, with a snap, the first cloud ladder was built on the city wall.

This scene seemed to pause slightly, and then it was like throwing a handful of sulfur into the fire, and the fighting spirit of the golden soldiers was instantly ignited.

The shouts of killing suddenly became higher, the Jin soldiers' offensive became more ferocious, the Song army also launched a ruthless attack, and the most tragic and bloody stage of the Yingtianfu defense battle began.

At this time, Xu Zizhen had returned home.

No one wants to defend this city more than Xu Zizhen, but now he doesn't dare, and he can't go to the head of the city to help defend the city, because he knows that now is the most critical turning point in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, he can't afford to gamble, and others think that he is a half-immortal, but he knows that the more than 100 catties in his body are completely mortal fetus, and if he dies, he will die, and everything will be over.

Now he can only wait patiently, not more, two days is enough, several of his reinforcements will arrive, and then it will be the time for him to really raise his eyebrows and take revenge.

Choke!

The Tang knife was unsheathed, Xu Zizhen sat on the edge of the stable and slowly sharpened the knife, and there was his beloved horse - little cabbage beside him.
