As Lin Lie expected, the thousands of menacing Mongolian cavalry were indeed just trying to attract the attention of him, the main general, and the main force of the defenders in the city, but the Mongolian people who were advancing later had taken the opportunity to change to the gate of the West City.

When this large number of Mongolians shouted and roared to kill, the defenders at the head of the West Gate City obviously felt caught off guard for a while, and hurriedly blocked Ling Zhansong's bows and arrows and the defensive weapons such as wood and stones prepared on the side. But compared to the orderliness in the direction of the north gate, the soldiers here were particularly scrambling, and the arrows were shot inconsistently, so that these Mongolian warriors who were rushing on foot could easily dodge and quickly lean towards the bank of the moat.

It wasn't until the enemy got closer that the archers improved their accuracy and knocked down more than a dozen Mongols in front of them. But then, they also erected a shield that was half a man high, with wood as the body, and then covered with cowhides, and the people hid behind the shield and moved forward a little bit, and actually blocked the rain of arrows at the head of the city, and quickly approached the river.

With the shouts of the Mongols and the exclamations of the defenders at the head of the city, they quickly inserted thick wooden stakes into the water, and then the planks were quickly laid up, and the other party actually began to build pontoon bridges on this side very strategically.

When he saw this scene, Zhan Song's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately shouted: "Where's the oil oil?" Bring me the rockets and torches, they're all ready! "He can't let the Mongols really erect a pontoon bridge through the moat below, otherwise the enemy will be able to rush directly under the city wall and pose the most direct threat to the west gate.

Under his urging, the cans of fire oil were quickly transported below, and Zhan Song did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Quick, put the oil cans at those planks and smash them for me!" As he spoke, he lifted one of the oil cans, stood up on the edge of the city wall, and slammed it against the target below.

As a general with a high status in the army, Zhan Song's strength is indeed outstanding, and in just a wave, the fire oil jar crossed an arc in the air and accurately smashed on a wooden board that had just been laid, and then shattered, and the fire oil in it immediately splashed around along with the fragments of the jar, falling on the faces of many people, making the Mongolian people shrink back in fright.

Seeing that his own general was so brave, the courage of the other soldiers was also stronger, and they immediately threw the oil pipes downwards one by one, although some of them fell into the river because they lost their heads, but there were still many targets in the right place, and in a moment's time, a large section of the pontoon bridge that had just been paved in the middle of the river was poured with a layer of oil.

"Put the rockets, and they are all aimed at the bridge board!" Zhan Song hurriedly ordered loudly again.

Feathered arrows, which had been tied to the arrows with flammable materials, were quickly ignited by the torches, and the archers aimed at the pontoon bridge below to fire their arrows. If it was shot at the Mongolian warriors, they could still parry and dodge with their agile skills, but this time the Ming army's rockets were heading towards the immovable bridge, and the situation was different.

After only a whirring sound was heard, most of the rockets had landed accurately on the bridge. It had just been stained with fire oil, and as soon as it was drawn by the fire, several flames suddenly burst out on the ground, and quickly spread, burning backwards, backwards, and lefts.

This time, the Meng who was on it

The human warriors were unlucky, and before many of them could react, the fire burned to their bodies, and they were so shocked that they suddenly lost their minds, turned their heads and ran back. But there were also many companions behind him, and when the two collided, the fire led the companions again. In just a few moments, half of the thousands of Mongolians who were trying to repair the pontoon bridge were injured by the fire, and the screams and exclamations suddenly rang out.

It wasn't until many people turned into fireballs and started running around that someone suddenly remembered that they were above the river, and hurriedly shouted: "Jump into the river!" Jump into the river! ”

This brought many people back to their senses, and they hurriedly threw themselves into the river, trying to douse the fire on their bodies with water. But at this time, the defenders of the city head were not only shooting rockets downward, but under Zhan Song's order, more arrows were shot down with a fierce wind, constantly reaping the lives of the Mongolian people who were already in turmoil. Not only the enemies on the bridge, but also the Mongolian people who jumped into the water to put out the fire to save themselves. These Mongolian people were not familiar with water, and after entering the water, they became more and more overwhelmed, and when faced with the arrows that came at them, they could no longer dodge, and could only be shot one by one.

"Quick, bring them back...... The commander in the rear of the Mongols finally saw the seriousness of the problem and immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn. But it was obviously a little late at this time, and the planks were quickly broken and shattered by the fire, and many of the Mongolian people standing on them were thrown into the river.

As people continued to fall into the water, the water of the moat, which was not shallow, rose again, and it became turbulent, and all the three half-built pontoon bridges were washed away at once, and all the previous efforts were put into practice.

Seeing this, the defenders were naturally overjoyed, and the arrows they shot were a little stronger than before, killing the thousands of Mongolian people who had lost their fighting spirit, so they could only turn around and run, and they didn't dare to erect any pontoon bridges again.

Seeing that the enemy was defeated, the defenders of the city naturally cheered again, and Zhan Song also showed a relaxed smile on his face, this battle was indeed won smoothly, which gave him and the soldiers a little confidence.

At this time, Lin Lie happened to be accompanied by several personal soldiers and hurried over, and before he could see the battle situation here, he had already shouted: "What's the matter, are the Tartars attacking?" When he came to the front and saw the excited and joyful appearance of the soldiers, he realized a little: "Are you retreating from the Tartars in a hurry?" ”

"Exactly, Lord Commander, look. These Tartars tried to lay a pontoon bridge in my place, but they were repelled by the general's fire attack, and their pontoon bridge was completely burned down, leaving hundreds of lives behind. Zhan Song said excitedly, and pointed down with his hand.

Lin Lie stepped forward in response, and when he looked down, he saw the pontoon bridge on the moat that had not been completely burned down, and the flames on it, as well as the body of the bridge and the corpses of the Mongolian people who were lying on it, and the number was indeed more than two hundred.

"Good!" Seeing such a situation, Lin Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Zhan Song, you have made a great contribution this time, and so do you." Be more careful, don't let the tartars touch it again, especially at night, and keep an eye on the bottom to prevent them from repeating their old tricks. ”

When all the soldiers were praised by the commander-in-chief, they were naturally proud in their hearts, and they all agreed loudly, and then they returned to their positions and continued to defend

Come.

It wasn't until he turned around that Lin Lie's expression suddenly changed: "It's obviously not that simple. The Mongolian cavalry in Beicheng is still pestering there, and it is impossible for them to spend so much effort just to build a pontoon bridge here. Moreover, how can only one or two thousand people pose a threat to our Jizhou? They must have some other purpose, but which side is it? ”

At this time, he regretted that he had come a little too hurriedly just now, and he should have asked the airship soldiers stationed above the northern city to report the movements of the Mongolian people to him first, so that he could have a target.

Of course, now that the two gates in the northwest are feints, only the two gates in the southeast will be their targets, but which one will they be? Moreover, why has it been so long, and there is still no movement on both sides, can it be......

A thought suddenly rose from Lin Lie's heart, it was a conversation between Lu Zhen and him last night-

"Do you think that once Shi Qingyan is really captured by the Tartars, will he tell me all the truth and truth in Jizhou City?" Lu Zhen asked with a serious expression.

"With his greedy personality and fear of death, I am afraid that he is likely to tell everything he knows in order to save his life."

"In that case, we should always be on guard. For example, the garrison in Nancheng should be increased to prevent them from taking advantage of it. Lu Zhen said reasonably, Lin Lie nodded hurriedly, fortunately, the troops in the city are still sufficient, as long as they all obey the dispatch, it is not a problem to take some people to Nancheng to increase their strength.

But then Lu Jin's words made his heart rise again: "But I don't think they will only use him, since Shi Qingyan has been guarding the border in Jizhou for many years, he must have his own team." If they collude with the inside and outside, and the inside and the outside should cooperate, my Jizhou City will be in danger. ”

"This ......" Lin Lie's expression froze, and he immediately thought of a little: "I remember, now Du Zhong, the garrison officer of Dongcheng, used to be his confidant, and he was the one who picked him up. Even the sergeants there are mostly their old subordinates, do you think they will ...... It's just ......" He was a little worried as he spoke, after all, it was three or four thousand defenders, and one wrong move could cause immeasurable consequences.

"It's hard to say exactly what the Tartars will do now, but we have to take precautions." Lu Zhen saw at a glance what he was worried about, so he quickly put forward his own suggestion: "The guards of Dongcheng must have someone to keep an eye on them." In this way, the people of Jinyi Wei and I are enough to deter, and we can't help much here in Beicheng anyway, so I'll go to Nancheng for you to watch them. Presumably, with me and Jinyiwei, I don't dare to mess around. ”

"This ...... Adult, this is quite dangerous, and the villain really doesn't want you to take this risk. ”

"Haha, how many times have you been in danger for me before, and even almost died a few times, what did I Lu Zhen do for you this time? That's it! Lu Zhen waved his hand disappreciably and made a decision.

And now, when Lin Lie judged that Tartar might really be fighting the idea of the East Gate, he didn't feel more and more nervous.

At this time, there was a sound of killing in the direction of the east gate, which suddenly made Lin Lie's face change drastically, the distance between the two gates was more than ten miles, this sound was so loud, I am afraid that the battle was extremely fierce......
