The moon rises and the sun sets, and the day passes quickly.

When the sun shone down on Jeju Castle the next day, the 20,000 Song troops were divided into two divisions, the front and the rear, and were already arrayed under the towering walls. In the front of the middle army, 5,000 infantry troops are waiting for the battle, everyone is wearing heavy armor, and there are 2,000 armored soldiers on the left and right. The remaining 1,000 people covered the tall equipment, from far and near, and gradually approached Jeju City.

Rear. The whole battalion array of Wu Bingyi, the commander of the Chenzhou soldiers and horses, 10,000 soldiers, a phalanx for every 1,000 columns, and ten phalanxes are 4+4+2, arranged in front of the Liangshan army on the city wall. The separation between the two formations was somewhat drastic, and the various divisions in the formation were also separated by a certain distance, but from the perspective of the Liangshan soldiers on the city wall, the distance between the various divisions of the Song army was immediately shortened a lot, and it was easy to "condense" into a complete military formation.

The dense soldiers of the Song Army can be described as mighty, and their morale is also high and majestic.

Directly in front of the army, huge shields lined up in front of the formation, and spears and spears more than a foot long pierced through the gaps in the shield wall.

Although at a glance, the Song army seemed to be the same, but in Lu Qian's eyes, the fiery spirit of the Song soldiers in the central array of the front army was far more vigorous than that of the other Song armies.

With the passionate and rapid rhythm of the war drums, a murderous aura rose to the sky in the majestic battle array. If Lu Qian was present at this moment, he would find that not only was the cloud above the head of the middle army in the front of the Song army even hotter, but the two armies on the left and right in the front and the Song army in the rear also faintly revealed a touch of red in their morale.

Fold Keqiu rushed out of the front army's battle formation, and a group of personal soldiers behind him immediately rushed out, although it was still three hundred steps away from Jeju City, but he was not afraid of 10,000 in case. They were still watching the movement on the city wall with great interest.

Such a distance is still within the range of the bed crossbow. More than 100 pro-soldiers quietly spread out into a circular defensive formation, wrapping Fold Keqiu tightly in it.

Although the number of people is small, they all look fierce, and their strong bodies make people feel the explosive power on their bodies at a glance, which is not negligible.

Zhe Keqiu looked at the head of Jeju City carefully, the city wall was full of battle flags, the killing intent was hazy, and the morale of the Yangsan army was as strong as ever. This army was completely different from what he imagined, and there was no fear in the face of the Western army, but it always gave him a feeling of being swaying. is like a young man with strong blood, who dares to scare anyone when he sees him, and he will let go of the right words if he disagrees.

And the fortifications of this nest of grass are really well done. First the earthen bags and rattan baskets, and then the wooden buildings, brought him a great surprise. I feel that I have learned a new trick, and after returning to the northwest, I can show off my new tricks in front of the entire Western Army.

The wide moat and the sheep and horse walls in front of the city opened their bloody jaws like a beast, ready to devour the enemies who approached it.

But......

Zhe Keqiu glanced back at the battle formation that had been squared, and the dense infantry phalanx could not see the end at a glance, and suddenly laughed softly. What about such defenses? Who hasn't fought a bitter battle on the battlefield in the northwest? The siege is the killing of people.

With a slight wave of his hand, the signaled herald quickly waved the order flag in his hand. After the battle, the war drums were instantaneous, and the command flag flew in the military formation, and groups of soldiers interspersed under the command of the command of the command of the order. The atmosphere that had just been silent was tense again.

The 5,000 front Chinese army was divided into ten pairs, and each team of 500 people was a phalanx.

The drums of war roared, and the thunderous drums controlled the rhythm of the army's advance, and each heavy drum was accompanied by the shouts of the great array, and each light drum followed the pace of the army's advance. The sound of the war drums of "knock ......" seemed to be a heavy shout from the sky, shaking the hearts of the two armies above and below the city one by one.

The morale of the Song army was rising further. After all, humans are creatures that are very affected by the atmosphere. And although the morale of the Liangshan army has not decreased, it has decreased in the end, because the morale of the enemy has risen.

The drums fell, and in the middle of the Song army, the horn sounded suddenly. Immediately, the drums shook the earth like thunder again, and the 5,000 Chinese troops launched a shout like a charge. The people did not move at all, and they had already retreated from the place where the former army was originally stationed on the horse.

More than thirty stone cannons were pushed to a distance of two hundred paces from the city, and let out a roar.

In the earth-shattering shouts, in the earth-shattering war drums, in the earth-shattering trumpets, huge stone bullets began to be poured into the head of Jeju City. Then, 200 paces away, a huge commotion sounded in Jeju City.

The battle flags danced wildly, and the 20,000 Song troops roared and shouted excitedly, and the bright swords and guns set off layers of cold snow light between the military formations.

Heavy stone projectiles slammed into the walls. Although the tower was made of hardwood, whenever it was hit by a stone bullet, it was no stronger than tissue paper. There were even stone bombardments that hit the female wall at the head of the city, and in an instant, stone chips flew one after another.

The most eye-catching thing is the city gate tower. When the stone bullets from the heavy stone cannons hit the castle tower one after another, the two-story castle tower on the Jeju West Fortress Tower looked extremely thin.

It is not even as good as the corner tower, which is so sturdy that the stone cannon can carry it a few times. But what about the castle tower? That's a move, and a hit will inevitably have a big hole. After five or seven strokes, the entire castle tower will be crumbling.

So at noon, when the entire two-story tower collapsed, the entire city wall seemed to tremble.

It is also fortunate that the string of buildings at the sheep and horse wall is outstanding. Although it is a simple structure, every time it is hit by a cannon stone, it will collapse on the spot. However, it is easy to make, and it often takes two or three cannons to destroy a string of towers, so it is more practical than the enemy towers on the main wall. Chao Gai had already made thousands of such string buildings, arranged along the moat and the sheep and horse wall to form a line of defense, erected on the edge of the moat, and surrounded by a sheep and horse wall below. In this way, no matter how fierce the artillery stones of the Song army were, they could never help Jeju City.

There was a deafening cheer from the Song army in the distance. Stone artillery is the first class morale-boosting tool in the current era, no matter what the actual effect is, the scene of this stone bullet flying all over the sky is enough to greatly increase the morale of the whole army!

Just like the cannons of the era of hot weapons, the sound of cannons rumbles, which can bring confidence to soldiers.

Although the stone cannons bombarded the sheep and horse wall today, they bombarded the city tower, which suddenly made the Song army excited again, and the fear in the hearts of many Song soldiers dissipated. After all, the damage of this siege is notoriously enormous. Not to mention the Fold Army, the Chen Zhou Army and the Tang Zhou Army alone are all up and down in their hearts. And now the worry in my heart has dissipated a lot, and the military spirit is stable.

Even some 'naïve' soldiers, seeing the power of the stone cannon, had a thought in their hearts - maybe they could crush the defenders of the city by relying on the stone cannon alone. As long as the confidence of the Liangshan army defending the city is collapsed, this battle is still not over?

They didn't know that most of the defenders who were originally densely standing on the city wall had already entered the Tibetan Soldier Cave under the leadership of their respective team leaders, capital heads, and battalions at the moment when the stone bullets flew.

The city tower collapsed, and the actual damage to the Liangshan army was minimal. The morale blow is almost none.

The power of stone cannons is huge, and the battlements can also be used as powder, and heavy shield long cards and the like are even more useless. But the string building showed extraordinary efficacy in this battle, and the officers and soldiers of this sheep and horse wall could not be crossed, so why not kill the head of the city?

In fact, not only Liang Shanjun thought so, but also Song Jun thought so. When the excitement passes, they have to face the problem of raising horses + stringing buildings again.

The entire wall of sheep and horses was hit by countless stone bullets, and it should have been a mess a long time ago. On the battlefield in the northwest, the thickened and heightened sheep and horse walls arranged by the Song army were not brittle and vulnerable under the stone cannons of the Tangut people? But now, the sheep and horse wall here has become a dough after matching it with the strange wooden building. No matter how beaten by the stone cannon, the dough cannot be beaten into powder again.

It's like a flat boat in the middle of the sea, and in the rough waves, it seems that it can capsize at any time. In fact, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

When the time came to evening, Song Jun no longer had the strength and strength to shout. Have an egg?

The defenders were naturally inspired and their morale soared.

There was no surprise that he had seen the extraordinary nature of the wooden building earlier. Today's results were already expected by him. It was only in the darkness of the night that he really lifted his spirits.

When night covered the land, the Chenzhou army of two or three thousand people, under the cover of two battalions of Fuzhou army, carried dirt bags one by one, and rushed towards the moat.

Reclamation of the river. That's what you want.

Since the stone cannon didn't work, and he didn't have too much time to spend here, he had to sacrifice his life to fill it.

First fill in a few passages through the moat, and then use the elite soldiers who are wearing heavy armor and dare to kill and fight to directly attack the sheep and horse walls to completely clear the obstacles under the city. After that, they stormed the city.

Anyway, it's just more deaths. Their western army has been fighting with the party for decades, and how many athletes have been lost, so what does it matter if the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains are killed? It is glorious to die for the sake of the country.

The two battalions of Fuzhou troops erected a large shield to protect the front of the battle array, followed by a dense forest of guns, and then crossbowmen, sword players, and knife and axe players. The two battalions of the Fuzhou army are very dense, so that they can exert greater power in the fight.

The stone cannons are still throwing stones at Jeju Fortress.

As soon as the Song army moved outside the city, the horns of the defenders at the head of the city sounded loudly. Chao Gai put on his armor and went straight to the west of the city.

The battle in Jeju was a warm-up for the battle between Yangsanbo and Tokyo. Duan Pengju's defeat first broke Tong Guan's sharpness by two points, so the pressure on his shoulders would be even greater.

The striker has been defeated all the way, and if the division is defeated again, Tong Guan will be really angry.

As the leader of the Privy Council who supervised the military administration of the Sixth Route in Shaanxi, Tong Guan, who was the commander-in-chief of Yongxing, Yanyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan, and Hexi, was angry and could easily change Fuzhou to a Zhizhou.

Is it possible that the Zhe family, who has served the old Zhao family for more than 100 years, can still turn their backs on the Great Song Dynasty and take Fuzhou to serve the Western Xia?

Therefore, he made a lot of effort, that is, he still had a conscience, and rejected the proposal of Wu Bingyi, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Chenzhou, to drive the nearby rebels to fill the trenches.

The so-called 'nearby troubled people' in Wu Bingyi's mouth are the people around Jeju City. This trick is vicious.

In the end, it was the Chenju army and the Tangzhou army that withstood the arrows and crossbows above and below the city, paid thousands of lives, and it took four days and nights to fill in five passages on the moat west of Jeju City.

Zhe Keqiu immediately sent the elite at hand, with hundreds of personal guards as the sharp edge, Zhe Kecun personally went into battle, leading more than 1,000 Kansai men wearing heavy armor and holding big swords and heavy axes, and rushed straight to the sheep and horse wall at night.

The battle between the two parties is like Mars hitting the Earth.

It's a fight to the death.

The battle didn't take long, only half an hour before and after, and most of the vanguard sent by Zhe Keqiu had already been lost, even Zhe Kecun himself was swept off his helmet, and then he was hammered on the shoulder.

The sheep and horse wall is still firmly in the hands of Liang Shanbo.

At dawn on the second day, when I looked at the moat that had been cut off, the water was all red, like a pool of blood.

……

At this time, it was already the end of August, Lu Qian and the army had arrived in Yuncheng, and Tong Guan personally led the troops and horses into Fan County.

All eyes are on Jeju Prefecture.

Because this battle promises represent the trend of the world in the future.

In contrast, Wang Qing marched into Kuizhou Mansion and fought again in Xiangyang; Tian Hu's rise to Willingzhou and attacking Longde Mansion [Huguan Location] is not a big deal.

Even Fang La entered Hangzhou City, and it didn't seem to be shocked.
