Chapter 675: Salute first, then soldier

In this battle, only a few enemies were killed, 3,000 troops were mobilized, and 200 people were killed before and after.

But in fact, Guo Yaoshi was happy, Zhang Linghui was happy, Zhen Wuchen who stayed in the city was happy, and everyone in Jingzhou City was happy.

The reason was the corpses of thirty or forty Jurchen soldiers they brought back.

This is all real Uzmu, the top of the bald head is shiny, and the pigtails are greasy and disgusting. It's not those pseudo-soldiers whose names are Jin Bing, but actually those who were born in Han'er, Bohai and even Khitan.

"Come on, cut off all these heads for me. Take a rope and tie it in a braid, and hang it on me to the head of the city. ”

Zhen Wuchen had already asked someone to prepare a banquet at the head of the city, and the three generals joined Shi Xiu, and the four of them drank a jar of spirits with the pungent bloody breath on the city.

"Although this battle did not kill the corpses of the gold thieves all over the field, nor did it capture the barracks, and the seized food, ordnance, and banners were piled up. But it was really a victory, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in Jingzhou City. Pharmacist Guo said and dried up another glass of wine. The most feared thing in this war is that the generals are not aligned. If you don't have the same heart, you don't have enough strength, how can you defeat a strong enemy?

And now, that's great.

After this victory was fought, in the blink of an eye, the people and soldiers in the city knew everything. The corpses of dozens of golden soldiers were dragged back, and the low morale was boosted, and the mixed military spirit was also condensed. It was really a timely rain, which solved the urgent need of Jingzhou City.

At dawn the next day, Wanyan Yanmu, who was depressed at night, ordered her troops to leave the village. After that, all the siege equipment that the craftsmen of the battalion hurriedly made were also moved.

There are shield carts, there are moat bridges, there are ladder carts, and there are goose carts.

Shield carts, moat bridges, and ladders are commonplace, but goose carts are not new. Its predecessor was the cave house, which was also called the cave house, like a hut, covered with a layer of iron sheet on the outside and four wheels underneath, which could effectively protect the soldiers from attacking the city. Later, the cave house was combined with the crash, and the parking space was fixed, so a goose-shaped goose car was formed, taking into account both defense and attack.

The way to deal with it is also simple, "New Tang Dynasty Book, Nanban Biography, Nanzhaoxia" contains: "In February, the barbarians attacked from all sides with cloud beams and goose carts, and the soldiers shouted and the goose carts did not arrive. ”

To sum it up simply, it is to wrap it around it with a hook and then burn it with a fire.

Pharmacist Guo was relieved to see that there was no thunderbolt cannon in the equipment outside. This is not his instigation, but the power of the thunderbolt cannon is too great, Jinzhou City can't stand it, and many cities in the Jinxi Corridor can't stand it.

Now if you change to Jingzhou, it must be unstoppable.

Shi Xiu brought a stupid solution, but there was not enough time, although he demolished the house and pulled out a big posture, but after all, he was not properly prepared.

Shi Xiu's method is very simple, that is, pile dirt bags behind the city wall, and pile them as high as the city wall.

In this way, the resistance of the city wall to bombardment can be enhanced.

And because the inside of the city wall is excavated and bagged, there are also requirements. Instead of taking the soil casually, you can set aside a place to pile dirt bags inside the city wall, and then dig up the sand in the shape of an upside-down trapezoid.

If the whole project is over, there will be an extra big moat in Jingzhou City. Erect an enemy tower, which can be regarded as the second line of defense in the city.

But it's very, very time-consuming, and it hasn't paid off yet.

The Jurchen shield car was of good quality, and the plate armor in front of the car was also covered with leather, which was very tough. Coupled with the earth and rocks carried on the car, the bed crossbow could not be shot. I'm afraid that only artillery can work, but there are no stone cannons in Jingzhou City.

Pharmacist Guo could only watch the moat being filled in at the head of the city, and immediately called his officers to inform the soldiers that they were ready to see blood!

Two days later, the moats of Jingzhou City had been filled in, and the sheep and horse walls had been demolished. After Yan Yan's mother saw that the city was detained, how could she sit in the military tent? The Jurchens have always had a tradition of taking the lead. At the beginning of the battle of Shangjing, Wanyan Yan's mother took the lead several times, and finally the golden soldier's ability was pulled out of the capital, and Wanyan's mother made great contributions.

At this moment, he rode a horse, took the guards, circled around Jingzhou City, agitated the soldiers everywhere, and promised to have a heavy reward after taking the city, gold, silver and wine, or that woman, there will be no less! If anyone can catch a person of the level of Pharmacist Guo, then wait for the success.

The soldiers of all ethnic groups in the Jin Army, after hearing Yan Yan's mother's spontaneous words, promised a heavy reward, and all of them were ready to do a big job. Isn't he just a pharmacist Guo who has been defeated repeatedly? That's it! Yan Mu, Yinshuke, Pu Jianu and others are also very relieved to see that their morale is high!

When the day of the siege came, the horns outside the city came one after another, accompanied by the shouts of the Jin army, wave after wave!

This is the habit of the Jurchens, who began to howl before the battle was fought, whether it was hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, many of them roared and screamed in the battle array. But it's not that everyone is excited to dance the gods when they are in battle, but because this is the custom of the Jurchens. Don't forget, they are a people of fishing and hunting.

The Jurchens who came out of the deep mountains and old forests of the white mountains and black waters are indispensable for fishing and hunting on weekdays. However, it cannot be denied that such a howl can mobilize the fighting spirit of the soldiers and boost the morale of the soldiers.

In contrast, the defenders were much calmer, the archers were wound with arrows, the rest were armed with swords and guns, and the commanders at all levels did not speak, only staring at the golden soldiers under the city. Words like mobilization and encouragement have been worn out before. There's no need to salivate anymore.

Zhang Linghui invited Shi Xiu to go down to the city several times, thinking about it, in the battle, a team lost the façade of Zhengzhong desperately San Lang, and he was afraid of that scene.

Shi Xiu is not willing. It will be difficult for him to officially enter the army in his life, if he doesn't take advantage of the current 'sky is high and the emperor is far away', he will have a good time, and he can only rely on dreams if he thinks about it in the future.

Shi Xiucai can't go down. I haven't seen this situation in my life, and he really caught up this time.

The sound of the golden army's horns and howls continued, but their ranks were no longer a little messy. Wanyan Yan's mother led herself to the front Jurchen Iron Cavalry to suppress the formation, and the silver technique could lead the Han Er Army and the Bohai Navy to do the front. Pu Jianu stayed in the camp.

A huge wave of sound suddenly raised! The soldiers at the head of the city saw it clearly. Jin Jun, it's coming!

It came up like a bursting!

One by one, the golden soldiers pushed the shield carts, covered the goose carts and ladder carts, and pressed towards the city step by step.

Zhang Linghui stood at the head of the city, listening to Shi Xiu Zaixiu in his ears: "This is going to be the southern country, the imperial army is equipped with artillery, far away, a row of cannons hit the past, no matter how much he is a shield cart or a goose cart, the iron bullet is as brittle as thin ice, and it is all eroded." Even some bed crossbows, stone cannons, and vultures can also threaten one or two. ”

He had never eaten pork again, and he had never seen a pig run. I've heard a lot in my ears, but I've never heard that the city will be guarded as cold as the current Jingzhou City.

Not to mention those big pieces, I haven't seen many crossbows.

Think about the rows of divine arm bows in the Yidu Imperial Division, and then look at the current Jin soldiers and Liao army, what a cold one.

Zhang Linghui's face was not bright, but at the same time, it also made him have a strong interest in artillery. The range is comparable to that of a bed crossbow, and although the target is not as accurate as a bed crossbow, the lethality is far higher than that of a bed crossbow.

As soon as the battle began, more than a dozen goose carts with a height of more than three zhang cooperated with shield carts and ladder carts, like giant beasts with teeth and claws, rushed to the city. It was into the range of the bow and arrow, and Zhang Linghui also pressed himself. The shield cart and the goose cart are very protective, and the bow and arrow are very lethal to them. The ladder truck is behind it, and there is no need to say hello!

The soldiers took a deep breath and watched the goose cart, which was a head taller than the battlements, getting closer and closer, and everyone knew that once the goose cart reached the city, it would be in trouble.

Although it is not a ladder cart, it will immediately swarm up with a bunch of enemy troops with short-armed swords and shields. But the harm is only big and not small.

The goose cart, formerly known as the pointed wooden donkey, was known as the "Bamboo Wheel" in ancient times, and was a siege operation vehicle with strong protection, which was equivalent to a mobile "wooden tank" in ancient times.

Generally speaking, it is to hook the female wall of the city head with the goose's head, so as to fix the position, and then the soldiers hiding in the goose's belly urge the pointed head to hit the wood, and destroy the foundation of the city wall at once.

Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps! That's enough!

Zhang Linghui drew his knife and waved, and the soldiers who had prepared earlier threw up the rings one by one, this is actually a trick when she was herding horses, and there are many people in the north who are good at this hand. These people are also obviously selected, and all of them are strong men with big shoulders and round waists! The thick rope noose in his hand was thrown towards the goose's head in three or five places.

When they saw that the rope sleeve was on target, they all raised their voices and shouted: "Pull, pull quickly!" Behind him, sergeants had already swarmed up, grabbed the ropes, and exerted their strength in unison.

The golden soldiers under the city are struggling to push the goose cart, seeing that they are about to approach the city wall, they are all happy, and suddenly feel the body of the car shaking, they are pushing forward, but it is also a boost, the bulky and the center of gravity is originally unstable The goose cart is not well balanced, and now there is an extra force of side pulling, just like the bicycle moving forward suddenly crooked, and the consequence can only be overturned.

After a goose cart, the unlucky ones can only be the soldiers below. Bundles of dry wood were thrown from the city, followed by cans of grease and rockets, and it was too easy to burn down an overturned goose cart.

One after another, the goose carts overturned, and the entire offensive order was chaotic, looking at the golden soldiers like headless flies below, without anyone's orders, the archers on the head of the city were already raining arrows!

The fierce battle in Jingzhou City is in full swing, and Danzhou, Yuguan, and Jizhou are also waiting for the day, just when countless eyes in Xijin Mansion look to the north, no one knows that the little whirlwind has drifted across the sea to Qianzhou, which is in the area north of Qinhuangdao in the later generations, with an interval of dozens of miles.

Chai Jin landed here, and naturally there were Jurchens to receive him, and then the group went straight to Bei'anzhou.

That place, near Chengde in the later generations. Four or five hundred miles, even if you have to cross the mountains and rivers first, it won't take a few days.

"Salute first, then soldier." Emperor Lu still needs time now.
