General, please give us another chance! Di Qing wiped a handful of blood and mud from his face, and assured Cao Yu loudly in a hoarse voice, and behind them was the tragic death of Xiping Mansion City, countless Song troops with raindrop-like bows and arrows, set up the cloud ladder on the city wall and wanted to climb the city wall, but the party members at the head of the city kept pushing the cloud ladder down, and then the arrow rain fell, and the ground was full of dead bodies and blood.

"I've already given you a chance, countless brothers have wasted so much gunpowder in order to cover you under the city, but only blew up a layer of wall skin, just now I have been scolded by the general, do you still want me to be scolded again?" Cao Mata also scolded angrily with a dark face at this time.

The city wall of Xiping Mansion is strong, although the party is not as good at defending the city as the Song army, but with the city wall and the dense rain of arrows, it is also difficult for the Song army to get close, so Cao Yu boasted in front of Zhao Zhen that he wanted to blow up the city wall with gunpowder, Di Qing took over this task, but he didn't expect that the city wall was not blown up at all, but only blew up a layer of wall skin, which made him very faceless in front of Zhao Zhen.

"General, just now the subordinates were too careless, and the hole was too shallow, so they failed to bring out the power of the siege tube, as long as they give their subordinates another chance, the subordinates will definitely blow up the city wall, otherwise they will come to see you!" Di Qing said loudly with a firm face at this time, where you fall, you have to get up from where you fall, this is a truth that has long been taught in martial arts.

Hearing Di Qing's assurance, Cao Yu couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the tragic battle under Xiping City, although the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was superior, but the strong city wall offset this advantage, and even used the cover of the city wall to shoot a large number of Song troops, which also made the Song army suffer heavy casualties, if there is no progress, I am afraid it will be a tragic war of attrition.

Thinking of this, Cao Yu finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you another chance, if you can't blow up the city wall, military law will be engaged!" ”

"No!" Di Qing immediately excitedly made a military salute, and then yelled and ran to order his soldiers to prepare, and after a while, a sturdy turtle cart was pushed out, the so-called turtle cart is actually a kind of chariot shaped like a turtle, which is made of hardwood and cowhide tortoise shell, and the soldiers hide the cart below to move forward, which can resist the rain of arrows on their heads.

This time it was Di Qing who personally led the team, and there was a huge siege tube hidden under the car, the so-called siege cylinder, in fact, is a huge gunpowder weapon, which is filled with the most powerful gunpowder, specially used to blast the city wall or a strong stronghold, when used, it is generally necessary to make a hole in the city wall, and then stuff the siege tube into it and ignite the fuse, the principle is actually similar to artillery warfare.

The party members on the city wall have suffered a loss, although the previous siege tube failed to blow up the city wall, but also blew out a few cracks in the city wall, especially the kind of loud sound like a landslide and a crack, which made the party people even more frightened, so when they saw the Song army go out again, the party people also began to focus on "taking care" of the turtle car, and in the blink of an eye, the turtle car was pierced into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows.

However, the turtle cart was originally built to deal with the attack overhead, so these feathered arrows could not hurt the soldiers below at all, but just as the turtle cart was close to the city wall, the party members above the head began to throw rolling wood stones at the turtle cart.

"Boom boom~" Di Qing's brain was dizzy from the loud sound of the rolling wood and stones on the tortoise shell above his head, but he didn't care about these at this time, because he knew that no matter how strong the turtle car was, it wouldn't last long under this kind of attack, so he immediately shouted at this time: "Dig!" Dig it for Lao Tzu! ”

After Di Qing finished yelling, he also grabbed an iron pickaxe and ran to the city wall, and then picked it up and began to dig a hole in the city wall, they chose the previous explosion point, the heavy wall bricks outside have been blown up, and the remaining solid rammed earth layer inside, all of which are watered with clay and rice soup, can only smash out a small pit the size of a cup with a pickaxe, if you use this method, you may need more than half a day to dig out a hole that can put the siege tube.

However, the Song army was very experienced in dealing with this kind of strong city wall, and I saw that at this time someone ran over with a large bucket, and then poured the vinegar in the bucket on the rammed earth, and the result was that the extremely strong rammed earth immediately became like tofu, and soon a big hole was dug out, and the siege tube was also stuffed in, and then the long lead was ignited, and Di Qing and others immediately pushed the turtle cart backwards.

"Boom~" With a loud bang, Di Qing and the others, who were rushing forward, only felt a sudden thrust from their backs, and the bulky turtle cart seemed to have become as light as paper, but their whole person was also blown forward and pounced, and their eyes were also black for a while, and some people couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow", which was shocked by the shock wave of the explosion and injured their internal organs.

Di Qing's brain was also dizzy, but at this time he couldn't help but sit up, turned his head to look at the city wall that was filled with smoke and dust, with a gust of wind blowing through the north wind, the smoke and dust also dissipated, revealing a gap formed by the collapse of the city wall, the broken earth and stone were mixed with the hands, feet and internal organs of many party members, and the city walls on both sides were also emptied, and there were party members who fell on the city wall and groaned in pain.

"Kill, don't seal the knife for three days after entering the city!" When the main general Zhao Zhen saw this opportunity, he immediately roared in person, and as this sentence was passed down, the entire Song army also boiled, and countless people rushed to the gap in the city wall with shields, and at this time, the party members also reacted and immediately organized archers to counterattack.

However, at this time, no amount of arrow rain could not stop the footsteps of the Song army, and soon the Song army rushed to the gap, and then had a hand-to-hand battle with the party people, the party people are born cavalry, if they are allowed to ride on horses, one person can single-handedly five infantry, but if there are no horses, they will become semi-crippled, and they can not stop the elite foot soldiers of the Song army, which also makes the Song army quickly occupy this gap, and began to spread to the city walls on both sides.

"General, if you don't seal the sword for three days, I'm afraid that when you attack Xingzhou again in the future, the party people will only resist more fiercely, and I'm afraid you won't want to recruit the party members at that time." At this moment, I saw a burly general say to Zhao Zhen with some hesitation, the so-called not sealing the knife actually means that the Song army can kill and rob people in the city at will within three days, which can be said to be only a little more merciful than slaughtering the city.

"It doesn't matter, the imperial court sent troops to the party this time, in fact, it wants to establish its authority, so the enemy who must be killed in this battle is cold, so that people outside the country can see the toughness and cruelty of our Great Song Dynasty, so that when they want to invade our Great Song Dynasty again, they must also weigh whether they can bear the anger of our Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Zhen said very calmly at this time.
