Three hundred small trebuchets began to prepare, each trebuchet was in charge of eight people, six of whom were responsible for pushing the winch, and the other two were responsible for loading, this time it was not stones, nor was it an ordinary throwing thunderbolt, but a super-large blasting thunderbolt.

Li Yanqing also used a super-large blasting thunder in the last war because of the lack of ordinary earth-shattering thunder, and he accidentally discovered that this kind of explosion-city-shattering thunder is more lethal, especially when it explodes in dense crowds, and the huge shock wave makes no one within fifty steps be spared, even if he is crawling on the ground, he can't dodge.

For this reason, more than half of the gunpowder in the newly manufactured sky-shaking thunder was used to make the city-shattering thunder.

But the super-large sky-shaking thunder also has a flaw, that is, it is not far to throw, after all, an eighty-pound iron lump must be thrown two hundred steps away by a heavy trebuchet, and a small trebuchet can only be thrown at most fifty or sixty steps away.

With Niu Gao's order, three small trebuchets creaked apart, and the eighty-pound super-large earth-shaking thunder was placed in the bomb pocket, and the throwing rod was immediately bent by the heavy bomb pocket.

Li Yanqing was still watching the Jurchen soldiers running under the city, at this time the Jin soldiers besieging the city were still mainly Xi soldiers, and the Khitan soldiers were deployed within a line of about thirty steps from the city wall, and the fifty steps line was quickly gathered by the Jurchen soldiers, they gathered in the range of fifty steps to seventy steps, there were more and more soldiers, almost in place, at this time they were nervously re-arranging, not realizing that the crisis had come.

"It's ready to launch!" Li Yanqing coldly gave the order to shoot.

'Knock-knock-'

The dull drum beat slowly, and then the tricolor flag waved, and Niu Gao roared, "Ignite!" ”

The soldiers lit the earth-shaking thunder rope with a fire breaker, and when the firerope burned to the mouth of the pot, three hundred trebuchets were launched almost simultaneously, and three hundred huge black earth-shaking thunderbolts flew above the heads of the Jurchen soldiers outside the city.

Wan Yan Xian also suddenly found countless small black dots flying up from the city and shooting out of the city, he was suddenly frightened and broke out, and blurted out, "Not good!" ”

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and three hundred super-large explosions exploded in the dense group of 20,000 Jurchen soldiers, and almost all the Song troops in the city covered their ears and squatted on the ground, including the Song soldiers who were fighting with the enemy, also gave up the battle and covered their ears and lay on the ground.

Many Xi soldiers who were fighting at the head of the city turned their heads unexpectedly, and the 10,000 Khitan soldiers who shot arrows under the city were the first to find the dense earth-shattering thunder dropped, except for a very few soldiers who were very responsive and covered their ears and squatted on the ground in horror, the other soldiers did not react, and most of the Jurchen soldiers did not know what happened until they died.

First, there was an earth-shattering explosion, drowning out the screams of the soldiers, the earth shook violently, and thick smoke rose into the air, quickly filling the land, and the entire battlefield fell silent.

After a full time of tea, the soldiers of the Song army on the city slowly raised their heads, and most of the more than 100 siege ladders on the city disappeared, even if there were more than a dozen siege ladders, the Xi soldiers on the ladders were gone, the explosion and shaking made them stand up enough, and they fell down the city one after another, the smoke of gunpowder under the city has not yet dissipated, the corpses on the ground are all over the place, broken human bodies can be seen everywhere, dozens of large pits have appeared on the ground, and the blood has dyed the soil red.

Most of the soldiers were shattered by the shock wave and died, even the soldiers who were not dead were stunned, and the senior generals of the Jin soldiers who were watching the battle from a distance were stunned.

At this time, Li Yanqing shouted and ordered: "All the crossbowmen are ready!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock ' The dense war drums sounded, and the 8,000 crossbow soldiers raised their bows and crossbows to aim at the city, and the stunned soldiers began to get up.

In the distance, Wan Yan Xian also woke up like a dream, shouting: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

'When! While! While! While! The bell rang in a hurry, and thousands of soldiers fled in terror, and thousands of arrows were fired at the top of the city, and the soldiers fell one by one.......

This is a battle that can be listed in the annals of history, the Song army killed more than 30,000 gold soldiers at one time with 300 of the most advanced super-large explosion city shaking thunder, including the soldiers who died in the siege before and after, Wanyan Xian also invested 40,000 soldiers, only more than 2,000 people fled back, and the remaining 38,000 people all died under the city of Taiyuan.

After this battle, the Jin soldiers have killed nearly 80,000 people under the Taiyuan City, Wan Yan Xian no longer has the idea of attacking Taiyuan City, and he has no next plan, the Jin soldiers are stationed thirty miles east of Taiyuan City, and the camp stretches for twenty miles, so they confront the Taiyuan Song Army and patiently wait for the arrival of spring.

........

As the day ticked for early February, the ice and snow on Hedong Road and Shaanxi Road began to melt, and the Yellow River began to thaw, and the ice sheet was covered with cracks, and large pieces of ice floe drifted slowly along the river, making a loud roar.

The ice and snow have also begun to melt in various parts of Shaanxi Road, and the Luoshui Road, which has been blocked by ice and snow for nearly two months, has finally been opened due to the melting of the snow.

On this morning, a group of ragged soldiers, about 100 people, supported each other and stumbled towards the intersection from the depths of Luoshui Road, and it could be seen that their physique was extremely weak.

The Song army had already built a military city on the north entrance of Luoshui Road, garrisoned 2,000 people, and blocked Luoshui Road, at this time, a soldier on the guard tower suddenly saw a team coming in the distance, and he immediately sounded the alarm.

'When! While! While! The alarm bell echoed in the wilderness, alarming the Song soldiers in the military city.

A group of heavily armed Song soldiers to the entrance of the valley Originally, the head of the general He Ning also galloped on horseback, He Ning was the deputy commander of the Wu Rank, and was ordered to guard the north entrance of the Luoshui Road, he knew very well what was in the Luoshui Road, originally waited for the snow to melt a little more, he led the army into the Luoshui Road, but he didn't expect that the Jin soldiers trapped in the Luo Water Road actually someone came out.

He Ning, like all the soldiers of the Song army, looked at this ghost-like army in surprise, less than two hundred people, and was staggering towards this side.

"General, they've crossed the cordon!" A soldier reminded in a whisper.

He Ning suddenly came to his senses and shouted sharply: "Stop, otherwise the arrow will be released!" ”

The golden soldiers a hundred paces away shook the white flag weakly to this side, and they all stopped, and He Ning shouted again: "Put the weapon on the ground and retreat!" ”

The Jin soldiers put down their weapons one after another and slowly retreated, He Ning made a look, hundreds of Song soldiers rushed up, disarmed their weapons, and surrounded more than two hundred Jin soldiers, He Ning urged him to step forward and asked, "Who is the leader?" ”

A middle-aged man with sunken cheeks on the stretcher slowly raised his hand, and said in an unusually weak voice, "I'm ..... Finish the Yan Lou room! ”

The army of more than 20,000 people was trapped for two months, cut off food and grass, and lived by killing horses, but even the horses could not meet the survival needs of the soldiers, just after the first month of siege, there were less than 2,000 horses left, and the desire to survive forced Wan Yan Lou to have to poison his own people, he sent his men to artificially create an avalanche at night, completely cut off the contact between his 1,000 henchmen and the main army, and most of the horses were on his side, and the quarantined Jin soldiers all froze and starved to death, but his 1,000 soldiers got all the war horses for food.

But even so, the disease and cold took the lives of most of the people, and less than 200 people were left to hold out to the end.

He Ning was overjoyed, he hurriedly sent people to Yan'an Mansion to report to Wu Jie, and on the other hand, he asked the military doctor to treat Wanyan Lou's room, which was the highest-ranking Jin soldier general captured by the Song army since the Song and Jin wars, and it was invaluable to the Song army.

When Wu Jie got the news, he didn't hesitate and immediately used the eagle letter to report the matter to Li Yanqing in Taiyuan City.......

Taiyuan City passed through the palace, Li Yanqing relayed the eagle letter he had just received to everyone, and the generals were in an uproar, and everyone did not expect that the Jin soldiers, who had been trapped for two months, could still survive, it was incredible.

"It should be said that it is still possible."

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "After all, there is a cavalry in this army, as I guessed, they survived by killing horses, and they worked hard for two months, and finally survived, and the people who survived were indeed fateful, but it was a good thing for us that Wanyan Lou Room could survive, and we had the basis for bargaining with Jin Bing." ”

Wang Gui frowned and asked, "Dutong, do we want to negotiate peace with Jin Bing?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It's not that we want to negotiate peace with the Jin soldiers, but the Jin soldiers want to negotiate peace with us, but not with us, but with the imperial court, I have received clear news, from last year to this year, the snow disaster broke out in the Jin country, and more than half of the cattle and sheep were frozen to death, and the same is true on the Western Xia side, the national strength of the Jin country can no longer hold up the war with the Song Dynasty, I believe that the voice of the Jin Dynasty has gained the upper hand." ”

Liu Jian also said: "Actually, we can continue to fight with Jin Bing, and it may not be beneficial for us to negotiate peace." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "We rely on a strong city and powerful firearms to barely confront the Jin soldiers so far, if it is a fierce battle with the Jin soldiers in the wilderness, we have almost no chance of winning, so we also need training, we also need strong soldiers, and we also have a poisonous snake above our heads, which will come to attack us at any time, and there is no hurry to recover the rivers and mountains At this time, I calmed down and patiently fought a protracted battle with the Jin soldiers." ”

Liu Jian and Wang Gui both nodded silently, they understood the meaning of unification.

At this time, Li Yanqing smiled at Bo Tangkai, the master next to him: "I may want to ask Mr. Tang to go back to Lin'an!" ”

The Jin soldiers have given up the encirclement of Taiyuan and changed from a siege to a state of confrontation, in fact, Taiyuan City has opened a communication road with Jingzhao Mansion.
