Chapter 112: The Battle of Jeju (3)
Under the fierce offensive of the Yangsan army, Jeju City was in danger like a boat in the sea for a while, and it would be overturned by the huge waves of the Yangsan army at any time.
What Shi Jin and others didn't expect was that Jeju Governor Zhang Shuye turned out to be a good general.
Not to mention that people were asked to build a hiding hole on the city wall in advance, which effectively avoided the attack of catapults. And all kinds of methods of defending the city came to him, flying stones, bows and arrows, boiling water, and even golden soup were used.
The flying stones were consumed, and they directly sent people to demolish the houses of the government and the people in the city, and the bricks and stones were moved to the city, and the sand and stones completely blocked the Jeju city gate.
With the assistance of 5,000 Song troops and 8,000 young people, Zhang Shuye desperately resisted the attack of the Liangshan army.
The offensive of the Yangsan army was very fierce, but it still did not break through the city of Jeju, but caused heavy casualties to the Yangsan army.
The ant-attached siege suffered heavy casualties!
Seeing that it was impossible to conquer Jeju City for a while, Shi Jin ordered to stop the siege to avoid unnecessary casualties.
The Liangshan army heard the sound of gold from the retreating soldiers, and the intact Liangshan soldiers supported the wounded and disabled to retreat like a tide.
Those who did not return will never return.
After the war, the Liangshan army suffered heavy losses. In one hour, there were almost 400 casualties, and countless people were slightly injured.
Listening to the numbers, Shi Jin was heartbroken, he didn't have so many people to consume on Jeju City.
The attack was unfavorable, and when he returned to the tent, Shi Jin slammed the lion's iron helmet on the table, "Damn, why did Fang Lana attack the city so easily." I just got out of school and encountered such a hard stubble? ”
Zhu Wu and Wu Yong couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard it, they also misestimated this matter.
The previous few big victories made them have some pride and looked down on the officers and soldiers.
But they ignore one thing.
There were also capable people in the Song Dynasty, and when they saw the Liangshan army defeat the Song army again and again, they would also reflect and learn lessons.
Of course, this kind of talk is easy to demoralize and cannot be spoken.
Wu Yong shook the feather fan and said: "The Jiangnan side has been stable for too long, and both soldiers and officials are corrupt and incompetent. This Jeju prefect Zhang Shuye is a rare civilian official who is responsible and manages the army, which brings us trouble. However, you don't have to worry about it, big brother. With the strength of our Liangshan army, he Zhang Shuye will never be able to resist our army. Jeju Fortress will definitely be taken! ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "I don't doubt this. Jeju City is desperate and difficult to conquer, can the generals have a plan? ”
Wu Yong said: "Xie Zhen and Xie Bao sneaked into Jeju City a few days ago. It is agreed that at the fourth watch tonight, we will attack together inside and outside, so as to conquer Jeju City in one battle! ”
But that night, three hundred soldiers of the Liangshan Army, under the leadership of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, slipped out of the shelter in the middle of the night and ran to the city gate. Along the way, they set fire to homes and caused chaos.
Jeju City Governor Zhang Shuye is really a good general, even if he guards it during the day, he still does not relax at night, he sleeps in the city with his clothes.
Hearing the movement, he immediately got up, and seeing that there was a commotion in the city, Uncle Zhang suddenly shouted: "How can there be thieves all over the city, there must be thieves who take the opportunity to make trouble and disturb the morale of the army." When the order was given, all the people returned to their homes, and those who dared to stay in the streets were to be killed. ”
After the Song soldiers killed hundreds of people, no one in Jeju dared to stay on the streets.
There was no disturbance from the people, and the subordinates led by Xie Zhen and Xie Bao immediately showed their original form.
Although Xie Zhen and Xie Bao's subordinates are not small, but in the end they are not invincible, plus they only have more than 300 people, under the encirclement and suppression of 1,000 Song soldiers and 2,000 young people, except for a small number of people who escaped, others died or were captured.
Xie Zhen and Xie Bao relied on their strong means, and took advantage of the cover of night to climb a towering tree and avoid the search of the Song soldiers.
When Xie Zhen and Jie Bao created chaos, the Liangshan army also attacked the city.
The attack inside and outside the city brought great trouble to the Song army. The Liangshan army once attacked the city.
Seeing that the Liangshan army was about to attack the city, Uncle Zhang responded calmly. He ordered the collected oil, firewood, etc. to be poured down, and then burned the besieging Liangshan army with a single fire.
Under the city of Jeju, the Yangsan military camp.
"Big brother!" The flower monk Lu Zhishen stepped into the handsome tent covered in blood, and when he saw Shi Jin, he immediately bowed and said.
"Brother Lu, still haven't you been able to attack it?" As soon as he saw Lu Zhishen like this, Shi Jin had already guessed the result of tonight's siege.
"Although I attacked the city, I still ......" Nodding slightly, Lu Zhishen replied with a little shame.
"It's no wonder you!" Shi Jin sighed secretly, shook his head and said, "Now that the Song army in Jeju has been fighting fiercely for days, it has become more and more brave. That Uncle Zhang is a good general again......
"Big brother, if you work harder, you can conquer Jeju City, it's a pity to give up like this, it's better to let the Sprinkle family lead the troops to attack again!" Lu Zhishen asked for his life: "Sacrifice this life, and the Sprinkle family will also conquer Jeju City!" ”
"Forget it, Brother Lu!" Shi Jin shook his head, and said to Lu Zhishen in a harmonious voice: "I have already heard the noise of the riots in the city getting lower and lower, without the cooperation of the city, if you continue to attack, it will only increase the casualties!" Tell the brothers to get out of the way, and then we'll think about him!" Brother Lu, you have worked hard to attack the city, so go down and rest! ”
"The Sprinkle family retired first!" After Lu Zhishen bowed to Shi, he turned around and strode away. ”
The night attack was unsuccessful, and Shi Jin adopted Zhu Wu's strategy and launched fatigue tactics.
The soldiers were divided into three teams, and every few hours they sent troops to harass the Song army in Jeju City in the appearance of attacking the city.
After the prefect of Jeju City, Jang Shuye, was teased twice, he was no longer fooled, and he divided the soldiers defending the city into three teams, one team stayed on the city wall to guard, and the other two teams slept under the inner city wall.
Shi Jin saw that the spirit of the guards on the city wall was not bad the next day, and he knew that fatigue tactics had no effect.
After two days of disturbance, Shi Jin turned into a riot and disturbed a real attack that night.
Jeju City was caught off guard by the Yangsan army for a while, and the city wall was almost captured by the Yangsan army.
The tidal wave of the Yangsan army made Jeju prefect Zhang Shuye tired, and the Yangsan army attacked the city several times, relying on him to lead his own soldiers to block it, so that it could hold Jeju City.
Under the interception of the Song army with human lives, the Liangshan army was finally driven off the city wall, and the siege failed again.
After three days of repeated and unsuccessful sieges, Shi Jin avoided storming Jeju Fortress, but the casualties of the soldiers were still approaching thousands.
Three days passed, and Jeju City was still firmly in the hands of the Song army.
When Shi Jin was thinking hard about a good plan, the spies who had already scattered around brought a piece of news that made Shi Jin even more troublesome.
Su Yuanjing rushed to Juancheng and told Tong Guan that the Liangshan army was attacking Jeju City, and Tong Guan heard that he immediately led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Jeju City to support and encircle and suppress the Liangshan army.
Tong Guan's army is almost there in two days!
There are still two days before the reinforcements of the Song army arrive, and it seems that it will not work if you don't attack tomorrow, Shi Jin pondered.
Just when everyone is thinking hard about how to conquer Jeju City.
Shi Qian Nuo said: "This, or I will take my men to dig a tunnel and pass through Jeju City." What do you think, brothers? ”
Although he sat in a chair and became a leader, Shi Qian's cautious personality still did not change, and he tried to sit at the end of every meeting, and easily did not speak, for fear of attracting the attention of others.
This time, I also saw that everyone didn't pay attention, and saw that the eldest brother Shi Jin was distressed, so I spoke up.
When Wu Yong heard this, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that it won't work, seeing that Uncle Zhang has been guarding the city cautiously and modestly these days, I'm afraid that there are also a lot of listening urns buried in the city." You dig a hole in the ground, and when the time comes, he pours water in, but I'm afraid that he will hurt his own brother! ”
When Shi Qian heard this, his face turned slightly red, and sure enough, he could only steal petty. Where can such a militaristic matter be handled by a thief of his own.
When Shi Jin heard it, he thought of a good plan. "It's also a good idea to dig tunnels," he says. I don't need to dig through though. Brother Shi Qian, how long will it take to dig a hole in the ground that only allows you to pass through and get it under the city wall! ”
When Shi Qian heard it, he thought for a moment and said, "It will take about two days, if there are more people, one day is enough!" ”
"Okay, I'll send two hundred men to help you dig a hole in the ground until you get under the walls of Jeju's South Gate. When you get to the city wall, dig a big hole along the city wall that can hold a hundred buckets. Shi Jin shouted.
When Shi Qian heard that his plan had been adopted, he shouted happily: "This matter is easy to hear, I will definitely be able to do it!" ”
Shi Jin shouted: "Okay, if it's done." You should take a good note! ”
When Shi Qian took people out of the tent to dig a tunnel, Zhu Wu asked, "Big brother, what are you asking Shi Qian to dig a hole for?" ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own clever plans! ”
On the second day of October, after digging for a day and two nights, Shi Qian and his people finally dug a big hole under the Jeju city wall.
Although the soldiers in charge of listening to Weng in the city heard the sound of digging a hole in the ground, they even judged the specific location, so they waited for someone to run out of the hole so that they could be surrounded and killed.
But after waiting for a day, I didn't see any loose soil on the ground.
After Shi Qian put the things in the hole, he quickly crawled out of the tunnel. As soon as he came out, he hurried backwards.
Shi Qian had just run a hundred steps when he only heard a loud "boom".
Suddenly, the entire ground of Jeju was shaken by the sound of this violent explosion. Even the time migration, which was more than 300 steps away from the south city gate, was directly toppled by a huge wave of qi!
The dust from the explosion spread throughout the city of Jeju. Even if Liang Shanjun hid far away, the loud noise still frightened everyone and made many people suffer from tinnitus and dizziness.
With their own cities, siege has become a problem for countless generals. For thousands of years, countless famous generals and marshals have created a variety of siege methods. For example, diverting the tiger from the mountain, fraud, sneak attack, etc., but these siege methods are all methods of choosing to avoid the city wall. It was only until the emergence of the two strategies of water and fire that the generals faced the city wall.
The water meter even fills the dam in the upper reaches of the river and then releases the water to break down the city wall. It's just that the water meter has a high condition limit, one is that there is a river near the city, and the other is that the water volume of the river must be sufficient. Otherwise, everything will be put to rest.
At the beginning, the fire meter was used not to blast the city open with gunpowder, but to directly pile up a large amount of firewood and burn the city wall. But there are also a lot of restrictions on this fire attack. You need to have enough firewood, and then you need to be able to pile it under the walls. Otherwise, everything will be put to rest.
It wasn't until the advent of gunpowder that the general's troubles for thousands of years were slowly shattered.
When Shi Qian mentioned digging a hole in the ground, he suddenly thought that he could use explosives to blow up the city wall.
This is called Shiqian digging tunnels to the bottom of the city walls, and then digging a big hole and burying a large amount of gunpowder. Although it was the first time that explosives were used to blow up the city walls, there were no professionals to calculate the amount. However, when a large amount of gunpowder was concentrated, the huge explosion force directly collapsed most of the southern gate of Jeju City.
The dust cleared, and seeing that most of the city wall had fallen, Shi Jin suddenly shouted loudly: "Beat the drum, take advantage of the collapse of the city wall." Besiege! ”
With Shi Jin's order, the Liangshan army rushed towards the gap with the sharp arrows and flying stones of the Song army.
Jeju Governor Jang Shuye was standing at the west gate and was also shocked to the ground by the huge explosion and felt dizzy earplugs. When he recovered, he was shocked to see that the south city wall had collapsed, and most of the Song troops in the south gate were directly killed in the explosion. There were also some people who had no wounds all over their bodies, but were bleeding from five holes under the shock wave caused by the explosion.
There is basically not a single defender at the south gate, and the Liangshan army is desperately rushing towards the south gate, wanting to take the opportunity to rush into the city.
In the past few days of fighting, Uncle Zhang has also seen it clearly. Without the help of the city walls, the Song army was no match for the Liangshan army at all. The Yangsan army must not be allowed to rush into the city, otherwise Jeju City will not be able to hold it at all.
Zhang Shuye kicked Huang An, who was still trying to recover, and personally ran to the city wall at the south gate, mobilizing archers and others to wipe out the Liangshan army outside the city, and at the same time forced the soldiers to withstand the shots of the Liangshan army archers and carry hard stones and crosslogs to plug the gap.
The two armies fought desperately to seize control of the gap.
Inside and outside Jeju City, drums are thundering and people are boiling. Today, Shi Jin also left behind, except for some spies, the whole army attacked the city.
The Liangshan army and the Song army were fighting back and forth for control of the city wall, everyone's eyes were blood-red, and there seemed to be only one simple purpose in their minds, which was to block or kill the enemy by any means.
The corpses on the wall were everywhere, dyeing the city wall a blood-red, and the red blood couldn't help but add to the blackened bloodstains, and what you saw in front of you was like a hell on earth.
But no one had time to pay attention to this hell, and the Liangshan army kept pounding on the gaps in the collapsed city wall. If you can't conquer Jeju City despite the heavy casualties, then you will lose a lot this time.
The southern city wall was badly damaged, and the collapsed gap, but the Song army could not repair it, and the Song army that could fight had all fought with the Liangshan army under the city wall.
Just one step away, you can capture Jeju City.
Shi Jin was in a hurry, raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and roared angrily: "All the generals will fight to the death with me, no matter who enters the city first, they will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be five hundred taels of silver!" ”
After speaking, Shi Jin knocked the horse's belly and rode his horse towards the gap. ()
