Chapter 960: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
Seeing the east gate of Jizhou open, Shi Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and even felt a little ashamed in his heart. Because he knew very well that this meant that such a military town was completely lost because of his own persuasion, and once the city fell, it was difficult to say what the people and soldiers in the city would end up with.
If they were to be slaughtered in the city, they would become real sinners. But soon, he adjusted his mentality again, and firmly told himself that this was also forced to do so, and he didn't know if the Tartar would keep his promise.
Compared with Shi Qingyan's stunned, the reaction of those Mongolian people was much faster. They all showed ecstasy one by one, and the Mongolian people in the rear rushed towards the city gate with great strides under Tulagu's order, as if they were afraid that the other party would suddenly regret and close the city gate again.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people rushed into the city gate, but Shi Qingyan was rushed aside. At this time, he suddenly remembered that now is not the time to sigh, there are still a few concubines in his family, if the Tartars really loot and kill in the city, they have to rely on themselves to protect them. Suddenly, he immediately mustered up his courage and rushed into the east gate with all his strength with those Mongolian people.
And when passing through the city gate hole, he suddenly remembered something, he remembered that there was actually a thousand-pound gate at the entrance to the city, if the defenders suddenly lowered the gate at this time, I am afraid that it would be difficult to crush the people. But this was just a change of mind, because soon, he had rushed out of the city gate with those Mongolian people, and came to the urn city that separated the inner city from the city gate.
As one of the important towns in the north, in order to be precautionary, this Jizhou City naturally has many defenses, and the urn city outside the inner city is its last line of defense. If the outer city is really unsupportable and is breached by the enemy, the defenders can also retreat to the rear and rely on the walls of the inner city to carry out the next round of attacks with the enemy.
Although the inner city wall looks much lower than the outer city, only five or six zhang high, it is still the same as the outer city in terms of its solidity and outward inclination. Without all kinds of siege equipment, these 3,000 men and horses would not have been able to kill from here with their bare hands.
At this time, the inner city gate in front of them was closed, so that the 3,000 Mongolian army could only stay in the urn city, but could not go further. At this time, it made the Mongolian people feel a little strange, and Tulagu immediately looked at Shi Qingyan, who was slightly embarrassed: "What's going on?" ”
"I ...... I asked them. Although there was already a trace of doubt in his heart, Shi Qingyan still shouted upward: "Du Zhong, why didn't you open the inner city gate as well?" ”
Soon, Du Zhong's voice came from above: "General Shi, the last general forgot about it in a hurry, please wait for a while, I will let them open the city gate." Then there was no sound.
Hearing him say this, both Shi Qingyan and Tulagu's hearts were a little relieved, because after he said this just now, the east gate really opened, and I think that soon this inner gate that leads directly to the city will also be opened.
But then there was a period of silence, and the gates were still closed, with no intention of being opened
。 This made Tulagu finally a little suspicious: "What are they doing up there, just opening a city gate, will it take so long?" ”
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a creaking of a noose, which made the masked people happy, thinking that this was a precursor to the imminent opening of the inner door. Only Shi Qingyan's face changed suddenly, no, he had also guarded the east gate at the beginning, and he knew very well that this inner door did not need to be opened with a noose at all, and it was only driven by a noose...... The jack gate at the city gate!
"Quick, get out!" Shi Qingyan woke up in shock, and immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, he had quickly turned around and rushed towards the city gate with big strides.
His action made the people feel strange for a while, and they didn't understand what he was afraid of, but Tulagu still subconsciously followed the order: "Exit the city first." "Whether you can enter the city smoothly or not is secondary, and no big mistakes are the first thing.
But this time, they were a step slower to react. When the noose began to move, the jack gate had fallen quickly, and it was not something that Shi Qingyan and they could run. Just as he took a few steps to get to the city gate, he saw a heavy iron gate fall with the sound of the whirring wind, and finally slammed into the ground, shaking the ground for a while. And the city gate that originally communicated inside and outside in front of him had completely disappeared from his eyes at this time.
Shi Qingyan was stunned, and the other Mongolian people were also stunned. Then, everyone's faces changed drastically, and while they quickly turned back, they had already pulled out their weapons and made a defensive posture. No matter how simple-minded these Mongolian people are, after seeing this sudden scene, they also know that the other party has no good intentions for introducing them into the city.
At this time, the defenders of the city also suddenly emerged from the city under Du Zhong's cold order, and rows of arrows flew towards the enemy below with the sound of the howling wind.
When Lu Zhen had a clear understanding of the city defense structure of Jizhou City, he had such an idea of closing the door and beating the dog. It was only because of the concern that the inner city walls were far less tall than the outer city that they did not dare to put forward this strategy lightly.
But just now, when he was hiding in the city and saw that most of the Mongolian people who came with Shi Qingyan were foot soldiers, and none of them were equipped with corresponding siege equipment, he decided to lure the enemy into the city first and then close the door and fight the dogs. In fact, it is no wonder that the Mongolian people did not prepare accordingly, originally they were just trying to get Shi Qingyan to call open the city gate, and if they couldn't open it, they didn't mean to storm the west gate. But in this way, the Mongolian people who were trapped in the East Gate Urn City suffered.
In such a small area, there are Ming troops on both sides in front of them who are constantly throwing arrows, arrows, wood, stones and other objects, so that they can't even find the place to dodge, and can only be beaten passively.
You must know that this army that came with Shi Qingyan and wanted to enter the city was the elite of the Mongolian people, and such continuous killing was unacceptable to anyone, which made Tulagu really angry, and he hated to tear down the city walls.
However, no matter which wall is in front and behind, they can't destroy it with their bare hands. And the city wall built with rammed earth mixed with glutinous rice juice can't even leave any traces of knives and guns, let alone let it go
They sabotaged at will.
At this time, seeing that some of the Mongolian people were shooting arrows at the head of the city, Lu Zhen immediately commanded: "Quick, smash the canisters of fire oil that were gathered just now for me, let's attack with fire!" ”
It turned out that the previous silence was due to the fact that the defenders were still carrying various weapons to the inner city walls. Now after getting Lu Jin's order, all the soldiers immediately picked up one clay pot after another and smashed it at the enemy under the city, even if the other party could flash in time, he would have to splash a lot of fire oil on his body.
After smashing all the hundreds of cans of oil that had been prepared, someone immediately dropped the torch rockets down the city. Suddenly, the fire below was so bright that it burned so hard that people screamed and fled in all directions. But in this small area of Wengcheng, they couldn't hide anywhere at all, and the panicked Mongolian people could only trample on each other, constantly igniting their own people, making the fire burn more and more. And because there is no water here, they can't even come up with a way to save themselves.
Seeing that his companions around him kept screaming and falling, but he couldn't even kill a single Ming army in his own house, the anger in Tulagu's heart was needless to mention, and in the end he could only grab Shi Qingyan, who was also like ashes: "...... Say, didn't you design this early on to let you lead us into this trap! As he said this, he had raised his knife in his hand, and it seemed that he could slash at any moment and cut the other party under him.
Shi Qingyan, who already didn't know how to be good, felt threatened, so he quickly came back to his senses and shouted: "I...... I don't know, someone must have guessed that I would help you open the city gate, so this game was set up. One...... It must be so......"
But no matter how he could tell, the other party could no longer believe what he said. Tulagu shouted angrily, and the knife was swinging out, and now he had to kill this suspicious creature to offset his hatred.
"Don't......" The threat to his life made Shi Qingyan's courage suddenly stronger, and he exerted his strength violently, pushing Tulagu backwards and staggering out. At the same time, a sharp arrow flew right from behind, and the unsteady Tulagu, though he tried his best to dodge, was half a beat slower, and the arrow swooped through his neck, so that he could not even let out a scream, and fell down in despair.
Seeing this result, Shi Qingyan's face changed even more, and he subconsciously shouted: "No wonder I ...... it" and hurriedly ran to the side.
Fortunately, at this time, the Mongolian people were still too busy to protect themselves, and no one came to kill him to take revenge, so Shi Qingyan was able to escape with his life temporarily.
However, the attacks from above continued, and as time went by, there were fewer and fewer people left standing in the urn city. In this area, it has been covered with the corpses of the Mongols, and after a killing, eighty percent of the three thousand Mongols have died here, and only less than two or three hundred people are standing against the wall, temporarily allowing the Ming army to attack them, but they have all lost the courage to resist.
Seeing this, Du Zhong in the city had a smile on his face. In this battle, thousands of enemies were annihilated, and their own casualties were almost negligible, which was really a rare victory in recent years. And he also saw that the morale of the soldiers had reached its peak, so he immediately ordered: "Open the inner city gates, kill them and take down all these Tartars!" ”
