This time, the Jin soldiers attacked Yan'an Mansion with 20,000 Jurchen cavalry and 10,000 Khitan infantry, and the task of Wanyan Lou Room was to contain the Jingzhao army on the Shaanxi Road, and drag Li Yanqing to the Central Plains.

But if his army can't even capture Yan'an Mansion, it will naturally not be able to go south, Wanyan Lou also took this into account, and when arranging the army, he also brought 10,000 Khitan soldiers who were good at attacking the city.

In addition, 20,000 Han troops were stationed on the east bank of the Yellow River, and they could immediately cross the Yellow River to support, and Wanyan Lou Room actually brought 50,000 troops to invade the northern part of Shaanxi Road.

The army arrived at the city of Fushi in the early morning of the next day, and the army was stationed on a high ground about three miles away from the county seat.

The camp fence began to be installed, a big tent appeared, and there were cavalry patrolling back and forth around it, and Wanyan Lou Room took hundreds of cavalry and more than a dozen generals to observe the county seat not far from the city.

The county is wrapped in a thick layer of ice shell, flashing a magnificent color in the sun, as if coming to the crystal city in ancient mythology, the city wall is at least three zhang high, the city head is full of dense soldiers, Wanyan Lou room looked at the city tower, and said to the generals behind him for a long time: "See, the city tower is newly built, which means that the city wall has also been renovated soon, and the Song army is very well prepared!" ”

Wanyan Lou Room is the second time to say that the Song army is fully prepared, the first time is to find that Yan'an Mansion is strong, so the county and villages are empty, and grain and livestock can not be found, which makes him sigh, and today he sighs for the second time that the Song army is fully prepared, which gives the generals behind him a feeling of lack of confidence.

"The deputy marshal thinks too highly of Song Jun!" Wan Fu Wan next to him said with some disapproval.

Wanyan Poqi was also transferred from Datong Mansion, and basically did not participate in the battle with the Song army, but he knew that hundreds of thousands of Song troops were defeated in a battle in Hebei, and they were not vulnerable at all.

Wan Yan Lou snorted lightly, "Do you think the generals of the Song Army are all incompetent?" ”

Wanyan Po begged his face suddenly swollen and red, hugged his fists and said: "Humble duty, please order, tomorrow is the main general, if you can't capture the city, you are willing to be punished by military law!" ”

Wan Yan Lou nodded, "Since you take the initiative to ask for help, then I will fulfill you!" ”

........

The Khitan infantry camped very efficiently, and the camp was set up in just two hours, and Wanyan Lou immediately ordered 20,000 Han troops from Hedong to transport grain to the camp and establish supply lines on both sides of the Yellow River.

At dawn the next day, the rumbling war drums sounded in the camp of the Jin soldiers, the camp gate was wide open, and Wanyan Poqi led 10,000 Khitan infantry and 5,000 Jurchen cavalry to slowly drive towards the northern city, they carried hundreds of siege ladders and ten siege nest vehicles, as well as simple siege rams.

Wanyan Lou Room personally led 5,000 cavalry to suppress the formation, of course Wanyan Lou Room was not willful, he also needed to attack Fushi County and occupy the entire Yan'an Mansion, so that he could use Yan'an Mansion as the foundation to contain the Song army in Guanzhong, so that Li Yanqing did not dare to lead the army to aid the Central Plains.

Of course, Marshal Wan Yan Xian also considered the possibility of attacking Yan'an Mansion, so he ordered Wan Yan Chang to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Luoyang and cut off the military connection between the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty and the Central Plains.

10,000 Khitan infantry has arrived a mile away from Fushi City, assembled into a huge phalanx, behind them 5,000 cavalry, of course 5,000 cavalry will not go up to attack the city, but they will cover the attack of the Khitan Jin soldiers by archery.

Wan Yan Po begged to point his sword at the head of the city and shouted: "Attack! ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The war drums sounded suddenly, and the first batch of 5,000 Khitan golden soldiers raised their shields and shouted and rushed towards the city.

The soldiers ran in the wilderness, carrying hundreds of siege ladders like a tide to the city, there were 10,000 defenders at the head of the city, and the specific combat command was in charge of the deputy commander Liu Ji, and the two generals Wu Phosphorus and Yang Zaixing were in charge of the northern and southern sections of the city wall, while Wu Jie was in charge of the general coordination.

"Crossbow ready!"

Liu Jian gave an order, the flag on the head of the city waved, and the five thousand crossbowmen brushed the ground to raise the big bow to defend the city, the tip of the arrow was slightly oblique upward, the biggest advantage of the big bow to defend the city is that it can leave the battlements, shoot in the parabola outside the back of the city head, and the bow and arrow counterattack under the city can not hurt the crossbowman, and close to the battlements is the big shield short spearman, and the enemy soldiers who climb up the city head along the siege ladder fight.

In addition, the 300 cannons on the head of the city were ready.

There were originally two hundred small trebuchets installed on the head of Fushi County, but in the battle of attacking Western Xia, two hundred small trebuchets were taken to Western Xia by Li Yanqing, and artillery should be used on the city, in fact, the shooting distance of fire cannons is about the same as that of small trebuchets, and fire cannons are more suitable for precision strikes, such as shooting nest cars, after the fire cannons are properly modified, they can also project fire oil barrels, so this time Wu Jie's defense did not use trebuchets again, but used three hundred large fire cannons.

In addition to bows and fireballs, Liu Jian also brought a thousand fire thunderers, specifically responsible for throwing flying fire mines, which are killers against siege ladders and cloud ladders, in the past few months, Jing Zhaojun has created five thousand flying fire mines, and this time the defense of Yan'an Mansion brought two thousand, which is enough to destroy all the siege ladders of the Jin soldiers.

In fact, there are many ways to deal with the siege ladder, Zong Ze is directly dumped with fire oil, ignited and burned, and in addition, the city wall is protected by an ice shell in winter, and the earth-shaking thunder can be directly thrown down to explode, and the earth-shaking thunder cannot penetrate the ice shell of the city wall, but it can blow the siege ladder to pieces.

In the blink of an eye, five thousand golden soldiers rushed to the city, bows and arrows were fired at the head of the city, and dense arrows like raindrops were shot towards the city.

At this time, a hundred cannons on the head of the north city were launched, shooting hundreds of earth-shattering thunder to the city, the soldiers at the head of the city shouted one after another, tightly covered their ears and squatted down, the city only heard a series of earth-shattering explosions, gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield, the battlefield was full of stumps and broken arms, and painful screams and groans could be heard everywhere.

But the earth-shattering thunder only hit the front of more than 1,000 soldiers, in the fierce war drums of the golden soldiers, the back of the golden soldiers carried the siege ladder to rush through the battlefield, rushed to the city wall, a siege ladder set up the city, the golden soldiers jumped on the siege ladder, raised the shield to rush upward, on the head of the city, the rolling wood and stone tumbled and smashed down, directly smashed more than a dozen soldiers down the ladder.

The Flying Fire Thunder was launched at this time, and the Song Army accumulated a lot of experience in using the Flying Fire Mine, and the best time to shoot the Flying Fire Thunder was when the enemy had just set up the ladder, if the ladder was full of enemy troops, it would cause the enemy's body to block the Flying Fire Thunder from circling, so that its iron chain could not be wound on the siege ladder and lead to failure.

Therefore, for the fire thunder hand, the timing of the capture is extremely important, when many siege ladders just set up the city, the soldiers have not had time to climb the ladder, the flying fire thunder is thrown, the hovering fire thunder entangles the siege ladder, only an instant 'boom' exploded, the powerful explosive force suddenly exploded the siege ladder into two sections, and then dozens of barrels of fire oil instead of rolling wood and stones fell from the city, and the torches were thrown down, and the city suddenly became a sea of fire.

Wanyan Lou Room saw that the division was unfavorable, so he ordered the temporary withdrawal of the army, 'Dang! While! While! The bell of the retreating army rang, and the attacking Jin soldiers retreated like a receding tide.

In the first siege of the city, the Jin soldiers suffered more than 2,000 casualties and 150 trebuchets.

.........

In the big tent, Wan Yan Lou listened to the report of the remote spies with a blushing face, and he finally knew the whereabouts of the three thousand cavalry, the county town of Ganquan was burned to the ground the night before, and none of the three thousand cavalry who spent the night in the city could escape, and all died in the fire.

Coupled with the casualties of today's first siege, the war had just begun, and the losses exceeded 5,000 people, especially the disappearance of 3,000 elite Jurchen cavalry, which made Wanyan Lou's heart ache, and one by one the brave and warlike cavalry died in the fire.

Wan Yan Lou thought of the siege this morning, and he was really depressed, he didn't have much confidence in capturing Fushi County.

At this time, the strategist Chen Guangzhao offered his advice in a low voice: "General, in fact, whether or not Fushi County is captured does not have much impact on our plan. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our goal is to contain the Song army in Guanzhong, we can completely ignore Fushi County, the army continues to move south, as long as the army enters Dunzhou, the Song army in Guanzhong will not dare to act rashly, and the spies say that there is no army stationed in Shanzhou, this is an opportunity for us."

"What should we do if the Song army of Skinshi City cuts off our back road?"

"It's very simple, leave 5,000 cavalry to watch them, as long as the Song army dares to go out of the city, the cavalry can attack at any time!"

After Yan Lou was pacing back and forth, this plan was actually feasible, and his spies came to report that the Song army was only in Yan'an Mansion, and Danzhou, Dunzhou and Fangzhou in the south were not implemented, which means that as long as the army entered Yanzhou, it could be supplied in time.

Wanyan Lou Room walked to the map again, carefully studied the southbound route, there are two main lines from northern Shaanxi to Guanzhong in the south, one is the Luoshui line in the east, going south along the Luoshui Grand Canyon, and the other is the Maling River line in the west, entering Guanzhong along the Maling River - Jingshui Canyon.

Wanyan Lou Room is still very confident in his army, in the case of the unfavorable siege of the city, the strategist Chen Guangzhao strategy opened another way of thinking for Wan Yan Lou Room, thinking that there was no Song army stationed in Yanzhou and Fangzhou, he was really a little tempted.
