Chapter 363: Standing Tall

"Chenxian's people were soon reported to Mangle, who served as the commander of the Shuai Sidu for the second time" Sixth, the latter did not panic, the tactic of digging the city has been used since ancient times, and it is still used in this dynasty, but in the previous war examples, there were very few people who really relied on digging the city to capture the city. The troops who dig the city first will be countered, and the bows, robes, rolling logs, and even boiling oil on the top of the city will pose a threat to them. Secondly, the purpose of the excavation was to dig up the loose foundation and make the city wall collapse. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to dig tunnels. Then it is supported by solid wood and excavated in the tunnel. but the burning of the support caused the wall to fall. In this process, in addition to suppressing the city digging troops, the defenders can also use a variety of methods to detect the opponent's position and progress, and implement countermeasures. The bottom of the city wall of Chang'an City is as wide as five zhang, and the Jin army wants to collapse a section of the city wall, which is definitely a big work with the other party's cowhide cave house. I'm afraid it won't be possible anytime soon. The most urgent task is still to restrain the Jin army's goose carts and suppress its trench-filling troops. Learn how to burrow those birds with mice, you might as well greet them a few times, and the sky will be shaken. On the afternoon of 12 August, the contention between the Song and Jin armies was extremely fierce. Wang Yu's tactics of jumping off the building to deal with the goose cart were quite effective, and dozens of Jin army chariots were pulled down everywhere. But Han Chang, the famous general of the Jin Army, who was really responsible for the command in front, was red-eyed, and continued to replenish the equipment and troops, but the goose cart was not enough, and he even used a simpler folding flying bridge to carry out a fierce attack on Chang'an from all fronts.

The Song army robes fought back, all kinds of robes and stones poured like rain, and bows and crossbows were as dense as flying locusts. Although there was protection from chariots and equipment, the casualties of the Jin army were obvious. In the open space in front of the city gate, you can see soldiers who have been wounded and killed, and even destroyed chariots. The fierce Jin army followed one after another, the heroic Western army did not give an inch, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians fought to the death around Chang'an City!

The area that Yang Yan defended was "the hardest hit area." He counted roughly, and there were at least thirty flybridges of goose carts attacking his troops. The urn city of Zaidemen. It was even hit by a city breaker.

Thanks to the jumping off the building arranged by Wang Yu, before the battle, his troops quickly pulled down several goose carts. After noon, the enemy flybridge attacked. He also commanded his troops to smash seven flybridges with a battering pole. The Jurchens had no intention of flinching at all, and kept pouring over!

At this time, Yang Yan, who had just repelled a wave of attacks, took off his helmet and sat on the ground, gulping the salty and bitter well water. Holding half a pot helmet in his hand, he gobbled up a few pieces of cold meat. When he was eating vigorously, he suddenly choked on a mouthful of water, and he didn't breathe for a long time. The handsome face turned red, and he couldn't care about it, so he put his helmet on his head, scurried up, and shouted, "Lift the batter."

The brothers who were eating in the spare time jumped to their feet. After him, he lifted the batter that was as thick as the head of the column and was ready to do it. Just because the flybridge is similar to the goose car, it is also a chassis, the difference is that the goose car is provided with a solid thick ladder and protective plate armor, but the flybridge is directly two ladders, connected by bearings. Even so, once the flying bridge is on the city, if you want to push it away with your bare hands, you will definitely not be able to do it, you have to hit it with a striker!

The bun in Yang Yan's mouth hadn't had time to swallow yet. Then he and the soldier raised the striker, shouting the trumpet, while swinging the striker back and forth, shouting until the third sound, at the same time! At the same time as the ram hit the ladder, half a human head suddenly emerged from under the city, and the result was unfortunate, this is very likely to be the first Jin soldier to attack the head of Chang'an City, and he knocked down the city with a small half of the ladder.

The defenders of the main city fought back desperately, and the crossbowmen on the enemy platform on the horse face were not idle, and for most of the day, no one could remember how many arrows they had shot. I just feel that my fingers are already showing signs of paralysis, as if the calluses are about to be worn out!

The sound of the charge under the city, the shouts of the city, mixed with the whistling of arrows and stones, and the wails of wounded soldiers, were intertwined, forming a huge pressure that pressed on everyone's heart. Whether it's Song Jun or Jin Jun!

The net smashed through a flying bridge, and before he could catch his breath, a shout suddenly came from his right hand. Yang Yan turned his head to look, and his face changed greatly! A goose cart hits the city! Three or five golden soldiers have already rushed to the city! The first one was extremely brave, and as soon as the two knives on the left and right came up, he cut down a soldier. After jumping between the buttresses, without pausing, the two scimitars flew up and down. Blockers are invincible. As soon as he opened the gap, the follow-up golden soldiers swarmed up!

"Archer!" Yang Yan's eyes turned red. Howled. At the same time, he raised a knife and swept it over like a whirlwind. The blade cut through the air, let out a sharp roar, the knife fell in his hand, and a stream of blood spurted out, and the golden soldier holding two scimitars turned his back to Yang Yan, and his head bounced high. The headless body took two more steps forward before falling to the ground.

The soldiers who came up quickly greeted with spears and knives. Forcefully stabbed the enemy who attacked the city down the city. As soon as they saw that the gap was blocked, more than a dozen people lifted the ram bar, roared out of the way, and slammed into the goose cart! Unfortunately, the device itself is extremely heavy. It's very sturdy, and when you hit it with all your might, it's just a shake. With the cooperation of the archers, the ramming rod hit the car again and again! Yang Yan saw that the situation was critical, and he saw that on the two nearest horse-faced enemy platforms, the archers' attention was here, and there should be no problem in suppressing them temporarily. Then he shouted, "One more shot!" ”

When the words fell, he suddenly saw a head rushing up to the city, grabbed him next to him, and said quickly: "Yang Commander, Wengcheng is in an emergency!" small

My heart was shocked! That's not good! The urn city is a critical place to protect the city gate, if the urn city is broken. The gates will be under direct attack! If the city gate is broken again, Kim

"Xu Cheng! You command! After shouting this sentence. Yang Yan ran to the nearest urn city. Before anyone arrived, the battle here was particularly tragic! A goose cart and three flying bridges were built on the city, and the Jin army was like crops filled with dung! Some of the Hujie soldiers were in close combat, and a unit carried the battering rod and hit it desperately! There is no horse face on this urn city, and it itself protrudes from the main city. Near the enemy platform the crossbowmen were in the corner of the shot dead. You can only rely on a knife to cut the gun shed and lift the pole to hit it!

The most terrible thing is that the enemy tower on this urn city. I don't know why I was so unlucky, I was actually knocked down by the golden army robe stone, and the archers who should have been arranged on the enemy tower lost their combat position, so they could only carry the bow and take out the hand axe to fight the golden soldiers!

From the mouth of the capital, it was known that these were all secondary, and the biggest threat came from the city-breaking hammer under the urn city, which was desperately slamming into the urn city gate. I can't resist it!

Yang Yan temporarily changed his mind, went down to the city, and entered the urn city through the city gate. Hundreds of spearmen were stationed here, hugging two rows of knife-blocking carts, waiting for battle. The thick gates of the urn city vibrated rhythmically, and it came from the impact of the city-breaking hammer. As soon as he arrived, the commander-in-chief saw that the city gates were not secured. took the lead and pushed the knife cart to block the door and press up.

This knife cart is also called an enemy car, and it has two uses. Its body is round like a barrel and shaped like a pig's belly. Inside you can carry food and other supplies! The wooden planks in front of them are full of stabbing knives and spears. Once the gates are breached, the car is blocked behind the city, making it difficult for the enemy to attack. I can't stand it. The car can also be filled with gunpowder firewood and grass to ignite and block the enemy.

The officers and soldiers inside remained motionless, clutching their weapons. Staring at the trembling gates. And outside. The neat shouts of the Jin army were clearly audible, and Yang Yan even heard a few words of Chinese, estimating that it was either Yanyun Han or Liaodong Han outside the city. Anyway, they all the fucking goods, and they have long forgotten who their ancestors were.

Yang Yan suddenly saw a soldier beside him trembling like a swing, the hand holding the gun kept loosening and clenching, his teeth clenched, and his chest rose and fell. Then he said: "Don't worry, as soon as the door opens later, you don't care about anything, just look at one of the gun sheds!" ”

The soldier turned his head and looked at him in surprise. As if to confirm whether the chief was telling him that the moment he turned his head, he heard a crisp sound and a large, thick deadbolt burst. Broken in two, the bullet flew out. The two thick gates were opened, and the defenders didn't have time to take a closer look, so they roared and picked up the guys to meet them.

The soldier remembered Yang Yan's words, and rushed forward, the spear in his hand stabbed out of the gap in the knife cart! He saw with his own eyes that a golden soldier with a leather helmet on his head and a knife in his hand was stabbed in the throat by him, and he was staring at him with wide eyes. In a moment, the golden soldier was squeezed onto the knife cart by his companions who rushed behind him, and he was pierced with a thousand holes!

"Hold on!" The commander shouted loudly. Hundreds of soldiers, top of the car, stabbed and stabbed! Once the golden army broke through the city gate. He slowly withdrew and made his debut for Bujun. The Jin soldiers, who were crowded over, pressed their companions in front of them against the knife cart and pushed them in desperately. And took a gun and stabbed from the gap, and the two sides fought into a mess, fighting for this small urn city.

Yang Yan stood behind him, and when he saw this, he took a sip and waved his hand: "Take the earth-shaking thunder!" Lao Tzu will cook you a dish. Fried Golden Dog! ”

These are all hospital-made firearms, and there are no strict specifications. Take the Heaven-Shaking Thunder as an example, although it is roughly the same, there are some differences. Yang Yan's personal soldiers brought him two earth-shattering thunderbolts, one of which was about to catch up with the basin, and the small one was about the same as a water scoop.

Yang Yan picked up the small one, nodded and said, "Fire."

The soldier lit the fire and carefully lit the medicine line, then quickly flashed to the side. Yang Yan was good, like no one, staring at the medicine line burning shorter and shorter. The defenders in front were busy fighting with the Jin soldiers, so they naturally didn't know that someone was playing thunder behind them, but Yang Yan's guards were so shocked that their faces turned green. If this thing explodes, we will have to bleed through seven holes if we don't die!

"Squat!" With a loud shout, Yang Yan also ran a few steps, holding the earth-shattering thunder in both hands and throwing it to the golden soldiers who were huddled together, and then squatted on the spot. Before the ass touched the heels, I only heard a thunderclap! The ground shook a few times! Then, the screams rang out!

Yang Yan bounced up and picked up the big one. shook his head and motioned for the guards to light the fire,

The fierce fighting continued, and the flesh and blood fighting outside the city were flying, but the inside of the city was still in order. In an orderly manner, it is obviously not possible to apply a metropolis like Chang'an, although it can store a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, but the main daily necessities still rely on transportation. The Jin army came to attack, and the city gate was closed. The water source was cut off first. I'm not afraid. Although the well water is salty and bitter, it can't kill people after all. can enter and exit a blockage, and all kinds of daily necessities are gradually exhausted. By mid-August, there were no fresh fruits and vegetables on the market, and there was no charcoal firewood. At this time, if those dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City were to entertain guests, big fish and meat were not uncommon, and it was more expensive to fry one or two plates of emerald green vegetables than to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Some of them have a small piece in front of the house and behind the house, and if they grow vegetables, they have to be more careful. It's better to put on a canopy to guard day and night, otherwise, in half a day, someone will have to steal it clean.

At such a critical juncture, everything revolves around the war, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion only arrest those who incite trouble and bewitch the public, who cares about petty theft? The common people began to cut back on food and clothing. Count the grains in the pot, and eat the buns

The common people are like this, and the life of the government is not easy. As soon as the war started, many yamen had nothing to do. The Shuai Division is in charge of the war, the Xuanfu Division is in charge of the overall situation, and the Jingzhao Mansion has come forward in the affairs of Chang'an City, such as the Transit Division, the Criminal Division, and the Changping Division.

This person is easily bored when he is idle, and when he is bored, he has to find something to do. It seems that the divisions of transfer, arraignment, and Changping have both the responsibility of supervision. Now that my job is gone, I stared at the few who were still moving, Yamen.

For a while, he criticized Jingzhao Prefecture for maintaining law and order. The vegetable garden of the Great Bell Temple was stolen overnight, so no one cares? After a while, he accused Shuai Si of arresting people indiscriminately, and he just arrested them, you arrested people to do coolies, why didn't you care about food?

It is also a loss to Li Gang, who has to worry about the war. And deal with those supervising officials. In the end, it was really disturbing, so I simply left one sentence, if you have something, you should find the Tokyo Left-behind Division to appeal, or you will sue Zhenjiang Xing! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here!

In the blink of an eye, the middle of August was over, and the life-and-death struggle between the Song and Jin armies continued. The Jin army tried all means and used all the equipment that could be used, but they could not tear through the defense line of the Song army. After more than ten days, sticky Han counted tens of thousands of deaths! This is not just a death, not an injury!

Han Chang was called to a bloody head again, aren't you a siege expert? What's going on? In the past ten days, have your soldiers seen what the inside of Chang'an City looks like? If we continue to fight like this, it is estimated that in two or three months, we will have to die down and leave!

Han Chang can't say if he is bitter, when he fights Yan'an and Chang'an, there is only one word difference between his name, but how can it be a world of difference? Not to mention the large scale of Chang'an City, not to mention the strong horses and strong horses of the Purple Gold Tiger Soldiers, just talking about equipment and tactics, compared with the Langyan Army and the Tiger Army, it is simply a small donkey than a big cow! As for the firearm of the Tiger Army, it took more than ten days to shoot down. The forward troops are already showing signs of passive fear of war! It is said that the Song army is powerful in firearms, and the city gate is broken, but when you hug it, something flies over your head with a swish, and then there is a thunder on the ground, which is also stunned, how to fight this battle?

Sticky Han was so angry that he kicked the board, swore to take Chang'an, and if he caught Xu Wei, he would screw his head off with his own hands!

Seeing that it would be necessary to break his muscles and bones if he continued to fight like this, although Mu Han was annoyed, he still suspended the attack. He pushed the robe cart to the front and hit the robe stones thrown by the Song army back, trying to reformulate tactics and adjust strategies.

On August 22, Li Gang led a group of idle and panicked officials, accompanied by Xu Wei and the commanders, to inspect the city defense and visit the wounded soldiers. Comfort the Heroic Soul. It can be seen that this Xuanfu Xianggong is still relatively happy, and the Jin army has been attacking for more than ten days. Chang'an is still standing, except for a city gate that was breached, there are basically no major losses. "Ziang, how are the casualties of the troops? When climbing up the city tower, Li Gang asked.

"More than 2,000 people were killed in battle, and many were wounded. Not yet counted. Xu Wei replied.

Li Gang nodded: "Try your best to treat the injured, after all, it is important to save your life." The heroic soul was killed in battle, and the prime minister then instructed Yousi to compensate. Those who have meritorious service should also be rewarded, and the commander should report to the military as soon as possible. ”

Xu Wei should go down, and the group went up to the city, but saw that the officers and soldiers everywhere were rectifying the equipment and repairing the fortifications. Even if there is no officer command, it is all in order. Xuanfu Judge Wang Shu couldn't help but praise: "It's really a strong force!" ”

Li Gang also said: "I think back then, Ziang only led thousands of township soldiers from the Daimyo Mansion to fight King Qin. Over the years, he has been conquering the east and the west, and he has trained a tiger wolf, which is admirable! ”

Among the officials of the Divisions. Many people also echoed it, and they all praised Xu Wei's well-trained soldiers, and the Hujie army was well-trained, and he repelled countless attacks by the Jin army, and the credit was really not good

Xu Wei said with a smile: "The old department of the Taiwei has been fighting against the gold thieves for several days, and if you talk about it, you should be the first." "It's not that he's polite, how many years has the family army been beaten out? Get started. People are familiar with all kinds of equipment, and basically no one can jump up to the city wall that the family army is responsible for. And they also pioneered a new tactic called "lifting cowhides." "The cave house that suppressed the Jin army.

"When it comes to generals, the merit pushes Wang Yu, not to mention anything else. It was the officers and colleagues who saw this jump. It plays a great role in restraining the golden army goose car! The name of the brother of the minister is well known." Xu Wei is very clear about the principle of "promoting subordinates". You yourself are the supreme commander, and you will have to share the credit for your victory. Why fight with your subordinates? Of course, it must be the handsome man who is behind the defeat.

Wang Yu was behind Xu Wei, and it was very comfortable to hear him so slightly, he was one and the same. The second is two, and I don't want to be humble. was waiting for the chiefs to praise him too, but those people all looked at him and said that this guy was not in sight. Are you so modest?

Li Gang nodded at Wang Yu and said, "Meritorious service will be rewarded." Wang Yu was bored, let alone silent.

So far as they were on an urn city, they looked over the wall. But when he saw that the Jin army was densely packed with camps, it was difficult to see the end at a glance. Countless figures walked through it, and the towering equipment was entrenched, obviously thwarted by this, and did not hurt Beiyi's vitality.

Li Gang's face was gloomy, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you guess your cousin will return to his teacher?" If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the muscle chapter for more, support the author, and support genuine reading!
