As soon as the day dawned, there was a thunderous war drum sound in the distance, hearing the sound of war drums, Li Yanqing, who had just woken up from a nap in the military office, suddenly changed his face, Jin Bing was going to attack the city, thinking of the sneak attack of Jin Bing last night, Li Yanqing suddenly felt that Jin Bing was a little anxious, and deceived the other emperor, and he could play with it calmly, but Jin Bing started to attack the city without getting anything, which is not logical.

"Could it be ....." Li Yanqing suddenly thought of Yan Qing's mysterious mission, and he began to faintly feel that maybe Yan Qing's mission was successful, and a plague broke out in the golden camp.

Only in this way can it be explained why the Jin soldiers were so eager to attack the city, and they wanted to retreat north with a single plunder.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing secretly became excited in his heart, and he strode up to the order: "Pass my order, all the troops go to the city, and prepare to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The high-pitched drum beat sounded, and the huge drum beat echoed over the capital, which was also the order to assemble.

The capital began to mobilize in full force, and groups of soldiers rushed out of the barracks, wearing armor and spears in their hands, and ran towards the city with murderous spirit, 40,000 soldiers had already 20,000 soldiers in the city, and now another 20,000 soldiers rushed to the city.

At the same time, 80,000 militiamen also began to assemble to their respective posts, among the 80,000 militia, 30,000 were the reserve army of Beicheng, the other three city walls each had 10,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 were logistics support troops, responsible for transporting supplies, carrying wounded soldiers, delivering meals to the city, etc., if the Jin soldiers only attacked Beicheng, then they were mainly responsible for the support of Beicheng.

Under the influence of the passionate drums, not only the militia, but also hundreds of thousands of residents in the city mobilized, and they went out of their homes one after another, ready to participate in the battle to the death with the Jin soldiers.

Li Yanqing rushed to the head of the north city, and forty trebuchets and thirty fire cannons were installed on the head of the north city, which were heavy defensive weapons removed from the southern wall of the outer city. All installed on the head of the north city, the houses of the other three outer cities have not been demolished, and the small fights are barely combatable, but if it is a large-scale attack, it is not enough, it can only be done outside the north city, which is also the reason why the Jin soldiers demolished the city, otherwise it will be difficult to pass through the narrow alleys of the siege ladder alone, not to mention the large siege weapons such as nest cars and ladders.

The trebuchets on the head of Beicheng have been tested repeatedly, and they are basically brand new trebuchets, and at least a dozen rounds of projection will not have problems.

"Is the fireproof dirt ready?"

Li Yanqing walked around, didn't see the dirt bag, and couldn't help but ask with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Qing stepped forward and bowed down and said, "The dirt bags will be very messy when they go to the city, so they will be placed under the city and can be transported to the city at any time if necessary." ”

"No way!"

Li Yanqing flatly refused, "Once the fire oil appears at the head of the city, it must be buried immediately, it will be too late a moment later, the soil must be placed at the head of the city, and ten bags must be placed every thirty steps, which can be placed next to the female wall." ”

Li Yanqing's military orders were like a mountain, Zhang Qing did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered the militia to transport the mud bags to the city.

Li Yanqing came to the western section of Beicheng and found that there were too few bed crossbows, so he immediately said to Xu Ning: "Quickly move all the bed crossbows in Nancheng!" ”

Xu Ning said cautiously: "I'm afraid that there will be trebuchets attacking over there in Nancheng." ”

"It's unlikely that the southern city will be able to keep a few fewer planes, and the northern city needs a bed crossbow to deal with nest cars and trebuchets!"

Xu Ning nodded, and immediately arranged for someone to transport the bed crossbow.

At this time, another partial general found Li Yanqing, "Enlightening the capital, hundreds of thousands of people in the city have gone out of their homes to ask to participate in the battle to defend the city, General Cao doesn't know what to do?" Please instruct me! ”

Li Yanqing had a big head for a while, in fact, the army defending the city was enough, 40,000 regular troops and 80,000 militia were more than enough for an inner city, and the other party was likely to only attack the northern city, even if it was enough to fight a protracted war for a few months, if hundreds of thousands of people also joined in, it would be too much.

But the enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of people can't be poured down with a basin of cold water, thinking of 'a basin of cold water' Li Yanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said to the general: "You go and tell General Cao that the Jin soldiers are likely to attack the inner city, and let the people be responsible for fighting the fire in the city, and there is no need to defend the city." ”

"Obey!" The general bowed and hurried away.

Li Yanqing continued to inspect the head of the city, except for the two defects of the mud bag and the bed crossbow, the other preparations were sufficient and meticulous, and there were special surveillance soldiers on the head of the city, specifically staring at the earth-shaking thunder of the golden soldiers, to prevent the golden soldiers from taking advantage of the chaos to blow up the city gate with the earth-shaking thunder.

In addition, 1,000 pitchers have been put in place, and so far, the Firearms Bureau has created 1,100 Flying Fire Mines, of which 800 are chain mines and 300 are rope mines, which can ensure that every pitcher has a Flying Fire Mine, and whether they can succeed or not depends on their on-the-spot performance.

'Knock-knock-knock-'

'Woo-'

The slow and dull sound of drums came from the north, accompanied by the low sound of antlers, and the black and oppressed golden soldiers finally appeared in the sight of the soldiers defending the city, in front of them was an army of 50,000, and the army of 50,000 was divided into five phalanxes, with banners like clouds and spears like forests, coming to the south, like five huge carpets floating on the water, up and down.

There were also murderous tens of thousands of cavalry behind, mixed with huge nest carts and trebuchets, rumbling through the wilderness, which was particularly shocking.

This time, the Jin soldiers dispatched 50,000 elite troops and 40,000 reserve troops, a total of 90,000 troops, nearly 1,000 siege ladders, 100 heavy trebuchets and dozens of nest cars.

The commander was changed from Wanyan Zongwang to Wanyan Lou Room, Wan Yan Xian didn't believe Wanyan Zongwang, Wan Yan Zongwang was invincible and invincible when attacking Liao, but he basically didn't win against Li Yanqing, Wan Yan Xian was also worried that he would be angry and tied up, so he let Wanyan Lou Room, who had just come from Taiyuan, command the battle.

Wanyan Lou is also a member of the Jin Kingdom, a fierce general, decisive in battle, not afraid of hard work, very strong willpower, good at fighting hard battles, this is why Wanyan Xian also replaced him to lead the siege, and also has the determination to break through Tokyo at any cost, and Wanyan Zongwang is too sympathetic to the soldiers, not suitable for this kind of life and death battle.

The northern outer city has been completely cleared, all the ravines have been filled, the excess rubble and rotten bricks have been removed, and there is no problem with stationing 100,000 troops.

The golden soldiers were in place one after another, and a large array was set up a mile away from the city, under a huge handsome flag, Wan Yan Xian also looked at Tokyo City with gloomy eyes, the outbreak of the plague in the military camp put him under great pressure, more than 5,000 soldiers fell from the disease, more than 400 people died, and the number of infected people is still increasing, there is already a risk of getting out of control, Wan Yan Xian has no time to drag on, all the negotiation plans are all nullified, he can only make a desperate bet now, and break through Tokyo City at any cost.

Although he had already captured the emperor and the emperor of the Song Dynasty in his hands, it was more meaningful to break through the Song capital, so that his southern expedition would be successfully concluded, otherwise it would be a huge regret.

"Send the order to Yan Lou's room, first shock the Song people!"

The order was passed to Wan Yan Lou Room, and Wan Yan Lou Room immediately shouted: "The trebuchet is in place!" ”

Including the trebuchets seized on the outer city wall and the trebuchets made by the Jin soldiers themselves during this time, there are more than 300 of them, including more than 80 giant trebuchets, but the most regrettable thing for Wanyan Xian is that their earth-shattering thunder was basically destroyed by the sneak attack of the Song army, so that they can only attack with fire oil today, which is also the main reason why Wanyan Zongwang was dismissed.

In a single order, more than 300 trebuchets began to go to the north, east and west of the city wall, the southern city is mainly affected by the terrain, the trebuchet can not pass, otherwise today the Jin soldiers will attack the city on all sides.

More than 300 trebuchets have been gradually put in place, and a major war is about to break out.
