At the beginning of the twenty-ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchen, Khitan and Koubian besieged the two states of Ningjiang and Changchun. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Chai Yi out of Changchun, fought in the wilderness, broke the Khitan, Zhu Yelu Chong, captured 30,000, all of them were pitted. Re-go Ningjiang, defeat the Jurchens again, and relieve the siege of Ningjiang Prefecture in the Half Moon. ――"Zhongxing Zhi"

The war began, in the first two days, Zhao Qing only heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city wall, all kinds of explosions were endless, and the people in the city kept running up and down behind the city wall, transporting materials to defend the city, or serving food and food, and transporting the wounded on the city wall to the simple medical shed under the city wall. There are many Lang Zhong who have been recruited from Ningjiang Prefecture in the medical shed, and it is very coincidental that the leader here happens to be Song Ci. Zhao Qing saw that Chen Ke was also busy in it, and gave Song Ci a hand, obviously Zhao Qing's words that day did not have no impact on Song Ci.

Although Chen Ke is still a little girl, in Zhao Qing's original era, it may have just been in high school, when she was innocent, but here she already has to deal with blood wounds every day and shoulder a lot of responsibilities, although she can't be on her own, but under the guidance of Song Ci, she has made rapid progress, plus the girl is happy, and she learns quickly in skills such as bandaging and stopping bleeding.

Watching those people laboriously transport boulders and other things up the city wall, Zhao Qing looked for it with great curiosity, but did not find the legendary golden juice, a little disappointed, he was very similar to seeing the power of this ancient famous biological and chemical weapon, but thinking of the smell of those dung boiling, he still couldn't help but churn in his stomach.

However, although the Hu people attacked greatly, there was no real threat, although the defenders on the city wall were busy, but the pressure was not very great, from the mouths of some wounded people who came down from the city wall, Zhao Qing heard that it was the Jurchens who besieged Ningjiang Prefecture. This time, almost all of these warriors in the white mountains and black waters were strong, and it was estimated that there were seventy or eighty thousand horses. However, these Tartars are proficient in horse kung fu, and they have always only been good at field siege and defending cities, but they are extremely weak, almost inexperienced, and they don't even have the necessary equipment for siege, plus the city walls of Ningjiang Prefecture are strong, these wounded are unanimously optimistic and affirm, there is absolutely no danger of breaking the city.

In fact, it seems that this is the case, except for a few decent assaults in the first two days, and after dropping some corpses under the threat of various firearms and crossbows on the city wall, there was no substantive attack, but they kept sending a few teams of cavalry to run around the city wall from afar, and the defenders on the city wall did not bother to respond except for lazily firing a few cannons.

On a few occasions there were a few of those cavalrymen who could speak Chinese, and they were far away from the range of the artillery, and the defenders of the city wall unceremoniously took out the bed crossbow, and the crossbow arrows tied with explosives shot accurately into the cavalry group, and the huge explosion immediately knocked several cavalry to the ground, and suddenly there was a splash of flesh and blood, and the horses in the thousands of cavalry were frightened, and the formation was in chaos, and the riders had to stay farther away from the city wall in the mockery of the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

Such a sloppy offensive and defensive battle lasted for a week, and the forbidden troops guarding the position were in some commotion. As the mercenaries passed by the gates, they would laugh at the forbidden army, boasting about how brave they had been on the city walls, and the forbidden army was here as a turtle with a shrunken head.

was ridiculed by these mercenaries who they despised in the past, and many forbidden soldiers were annoyed, and they all asked Zhao Qing and Meng Heng to fight, but they were all slapped back.

In the face of the somewhat boring and even childish siege of the Jurchens, Zhao Qing Mengheng did not dare to relax at all, Yang Zaixing's tone that day was very heavy, this battle will definitely not be so simple.

Three miles away from Ningjiang Prefecture, between the heavy siege of the army, Wanyan Wu Qimai sat on his horse, looking at the seemingly impregnable city wall from a distance, his face expressionless. Beside him, a fierce warrior is none other than the general Sticky Han. Sticky Han is also called Wanyan Zonghan, in the original history is the first hero of the Jurchen regime to open the country, the destruction of the Liao and Song Dynasty made great contributions, and personally captured the late Liao Emperor, Song Hui, Qin Emperor. At this time, although he had not yet established any famous achievements, he was already the most relied on general under Wu Qi's account.

"Sticky Han, this Ningjiang Prefecture is not a strong city in Liaodong, even tens of thousands of rabble with different hearts and hands can defend it, so that my Jurchen army of 70,000 can't start, what are your suggestions for capturing this city?" Wu begged to ask.

Mu Han stared at the city wall for a long time and said, "If there is no internal response, it is impossible. In the trial a few days ago, a new firearm appeared in Da Zhou, both in power and crosshair, far beyond the previous artillery, and if it was attacked, it would be difficult to break the city even if my Jurchen warriors were exhausted. ”

"The firearms of the Han people are indeed a must, but they are not monolithic, they love to engage in infighting, and some people actually give away the sharp weapons of this country, and it is not without a chance to come here to fight my Jurchen army. Sticky Han, if the city gate is taken, how sure are you that you can break this city? Wu begged to buy and ask again.

"If you take the gates, you will be able to take the city in less than two days." Mu Han said very confidently, "Although the weapon to defend the city is strong, but there is also a distance limit, too close will lose its power like artillery, once the city gate is opened, my Jurchen cavalry can drive straight in, cut off its supply, besiege the city wall, close to each other, will be able to destroy the defenders." ”

Wu Qimai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Indeed, Chai Yi transferred most of the elite of the forbidden army to Changchun Prefecture, and it is really a good idea to hand over the city defense to those mercenaries, probably he didn't expect to be betrayed by his own compatriots, go out to defend the border forbidden army, and the rest of the Zhou army are vulnerable." Sticky Han, in these two days, there will be an internal assistant to help us take the city gate, when the time comes, you attack the east gate, I will attack the west gate, after taking it, join the city and burn it first, and then go to teach those shrunken turtles on the city wall a lesson. ”

Looking at Wu Qimai's determined appearance, Mu Han couldn't help frowning, he always felt that things would not be so simple. This time, the Jurchens dared to besiege Ningjiang Prefecture and fight the siege warfare that they were not good at, because they got the information that Chai Yi went to Changchun Prefecture, and someone promised to cooperate with them inside and outside. The Jurchen clan is now in the ascending stage, with strong soldiers and wise generals, unlike the Khitan, who are already in the waning mountains, they have unlimited potential, so they will intelligently choose to retreat and lurk when they encounter an enemy who knows they are invincible. Chai Yi is the most feared enemy in Liaodong today, since he took over Liaodong, the scattered Han people have united, repeatedly defeated them, suppressed the Khitan and at the same time made the Jurchens who had already gained momentum never taste much sweetness.

The information from Changchun Prefecture has been confirmed, Chai Yi appeared on the city wall of Changchun Prefecture, and the stones hanging in the hearts of these Jurchens can be regarded as falling, but Mu Han is a genius after all, he is always vaguely aware of a trace of danger, this premonition has saved him many times, hesitated again and again, or said: "Leader, I don't think this battle will be so easy, although Chai Yi has been confirmed to appear in Changchun Prefecture, but this battle is a combination of mercenaries of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, if those forbidden troops have not evacuated, Instead, he changed into the clothes of a mercenary... ”

He didn't say any further, because Wu Qimai's face was already dark. As soon as Sticky Han said this, Wu Qimai suddenly felt that the original foolproof plan suddenly became unpredictable.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Qimai said in a deep voice: "Even if it is like that, the strength of the forbidden army's combat power is inseparable from Chai Yi. Moreover, the king always needs some tough battles to prove himself, if he wants to make meritorious contributions and establish a country for the Jurchens, then a battle with the border forbidden army is inevitable. Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a battle, so what is there to be afraid of! ”

"The leader is mighty! Sticky Han will definitely take the lead and make contributions to the Jurchens! "Sticky Han's body trembled a little with excitement, he was a military strategist, a strategist, a careerist, an adventurer, never afraid of danger, and it was of great significance to capture this city, and he would inevitably be famous for eternity.

In the afternoon of the same day, trebuchets, ladders and other siege equipment brought from afar were finally transported to the front of the Jurchen army. Several trees within a radius of more than ten miles of Ningjiang Prefecture City have been cut down, and if you want to build giant siege equipment, you need to travel dozens of miles away, so this week the Jurchen army is only besieging but not attacking, and as soon as the siege equipment arrives, the Jurchens launch their first real offensive.

Zhao Qingzhi felt that the city wall, which had been quiet for a few days, was noisy again, and all kinds of fighting explosions came and went, and from time to time huge stones crossed the city wall and blasted into the city, causing many casualties to the people who helped defend the city, and it seemed that the Jurchens had used trebuchets. Fortunately, no stones were thrown into the position, but the city was already in chaos, and only the position of the forbidden army stood still.

This place is guarded by the forward battalion of the Border Forbidden Army, and this thousand people are the last line of defense of Ningjiang Prefecture City, although it has been idle for a long time, but it has always been vigilant, like a beast lurking behind the city gate.

Zhao Qing felt that the big battle was coming, he looked at the city wall, his eyes gradually became cold, but he was thinking about the children in the courtyard, and his palms were soaked with sweat.

The battle lasted from the afternoon to sunset, and as it grew dark, the Jurchen offensive stopped, and the wounded were brought down from the city walls, and even more corpses, which were gathered together and soon burned. The mercenaries, who were still triumphant a few days ago, had no other thoughts when they changed their guards, and they all hung their heads, and they lost most of their fighting spirit in a real battle.

Those Jurchens who are not afraid of death climb up along the ladder endlessly, and the people in front of them continue to fall from the city wall and can't stop their upward steps, the boulder wood is quickly used up, a Jurchen climbs the city wall, and the crazy slashing will soon cause a lot of killing, although in the end because of the lack of experience, the outnumbered were pushed off the city wall, but it greatly stimulated those cowardly mercenaries, they did not have a high sense of belonging to this city, but they just took the commission and took the task of defending the city, But there is no determination to die, the sword light and blood shadow in the afternoon has made their morale extremely low, and many mercenaries who have been replaced under the city wall seem to be the rest of their lives, but they have made up their minds not to go to the city wall again. But I didn't think that there were eggs under the nest.

Zhao Qing, Meng Hui and Cao Zilin looked coldly at those dejected mercenaries, shaking their heads, Cao Zilin secretly led a few skilled forbidden troops to the city wall to fight for a while, and the Jurchens who met on the city wall were easily cut down, those Jurchens were more than brave, but the pressure on the siege equipment under the city was too small, and the Jurchens who were easy to wait for were weak, and they could easily repel with the cooperation of several people, and they couldn't afford to turn over any prodigal sons. However, when those mercenaries saw these terrible Jurchens, they subconsciously flinched, and some even turned around and ran away, pushing and shoving the mercenaries who were blocking in front of them, causing chaos, and only then did individual Jurchens kill and injure them.

This kind of fear is easily contagious on the battlefield, and the Jurchens saw that their people were so brave, and their morale increased greatly. This was unimaginable in ancient wars, and Cao Zilin was so angry that he went down the city wall in anger after slashing and killing dozens of Jurchens, and swore never to be with mercenaries again.

Cao Zilin, who was stained with blood, had a hideous face and looked very terrifying, but Zhao Qing interrupted Cao Zilin's complaint with a frown, and said: "General Yang has long said that no matter what happens on the city wall, don't care, you have already committed a military order today, don't do this again." Captain Cao, you can't slack off in your left battalion tonight, and you must cheer up to prevent the enemy from attacking. ”

"It's the first time that the Jurchens have attacked the city on a large scale, although the mercenaries are ugly, but they won't be lost tonight!" Cao Zilin showed a surprised expression.

"This battle will definitely not be so simple, otherwise General Yang would not have ordered us to guard the city gate, and we would definitely be scattered all over the city wall to fight with the mercenaries. Although those mercenaries came in a legitimate way, they had to be guarded against. Zhao Qing said this, and Meng Hui and Cao Zilin's faces changed greatly.

Although they also questioned Yang Zaixing's arrangement in their hearts, they had no other thoughts, but were happy because they could fight side by side with their own people, but when they were prompted by Zhao Qing, their brains suddenly opened.

Although those mercenaries are very unbearable, they disdain to be in company, but they have never doubted that the mercenaries will defect, in case what Zhao Qing said is true...

Meng Hui and Cao Zilin were already drenched in cold sweat on their backs, Cao Zilin quickly gave up his hand and went to the Zuoying camp to arrange affairs, he would rather believe it or not, he had prepared for the worst.

"If the city gate is lost, Captain Zhao still finds a way to get out of here. You are different from us, you are a descendant of Guigu, you have the same talent as Wan Sanye, and what you do is beneficial to the world, and you must not be buried here. Lord Chai must have his arrangement, Ningjiang Prefecture City is deep and complicated, you must be able to wait for reinforcements. Meng Hui looked at Zhao Qing and said solemnly, although Zhao Qing had only joined the right battalion of the striker for less than a month, he had already recognized his knowledge and learning.

"I have a military position, and I am behind the gate, how can I escape, how do you want me to face the people in the city? There is no need to say any more about this. Don't worry, I won't participate in the command, although the force is not as good as the ordinary forbidden army, but the fire gun shooting technique is also at the middle and upper level, just be an ordinary soldier. Zhao waved his hand lightly, came to the three-person musket group that he had arranged for him before, sat down against the sandbag, and gently wiped the roaring young man in his hand, trying to calm himself down.

As the night deepened, bright torches shone on the city gates, and while the mercenaries on duty on the city wall were drowsy, a large number of Jurchens quietly touched the city wall. On the city wall, several mercenary leaders exchanged glances, and then began to wake up those comrades who were about to fall asleep, and felt the knife...

The city gate that had calmed down in the first half of the night suddenly made a loud noise, Zhao Qing turned over with a spirit, looked at the city gate, and found that the wall above the city gate was already on fire, and hurriedly asked the people around him: "Erhu, what's going on!" ”

Erhu's real name is Zhang Erhu, and he is the bombloader of his squad.

"I don't know, Captain Zhao, could it be that the Jurchens attacked the city in the middle of the night?" Erhu's face was not flustered, and he looked very calm under the firelight.

"Hmph, do those mercenaries think that they will be safe at night, I'm afraid that they will be taken off by the Jurchens in their dreams, Captain Zhao, should we kill the city wall and take the city gate back?" It was the big tiger who spoke, the eldest brother of the second tiger, and the other musketeer of this team.

"No, you can't leave the position! Get ready to shoot! Zhao Qing saw a group of mercenaries fleeing from the city wall, and some even jumped directly from the nearly ten meter high city wall and fell into a pulp, and after them, a team of mercenaries with knives actually slashed the butcher's knife at their own people, killed them from the city gate, and quickly killed the city gate officer, and seized the opportunity to control the take-off and landing of the city gate, and was about to lower the city gate.

"Captain Zhao!" Dahu and several other musketeers next to him shouted anxiously, hoping that Zhao Qing would give them the order to retake the city gate.

"Give me all peace! The musketeers listen and get ready to shoot! Zhao Qing ignored it, stood up and lay on the sandbag, looking at the city gate, but sneered in his heart.

Five hundred meters away, under the firelight, he clearly saw the clothes of those knife-wielding mercenaries, it was the Beacon Fire Mercenary Group, a few days ago they were shouting the slogan of protecting the family and defending the country, attracting the applause of the people in the city, but now they are waving the butcher's knife at their own compatriots, what kind of interests can make them forget their ancestors is unknown.

"Hmph, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, probably you also provided those Jurchens with roaring young generals, so let you see the real use of this firecracker." The closer Zhao Qing got to the war, the calmer his mood became, and he steadily raised the roaring general and aimed at the city gate.

Zhao Qing's voice was very loud, coupled with the movement of the city gate, all the members of the musket team were quickly assembled, and the muzzles of more than a hundred black holes were aimed at the city wall in unison.

The other forbidden troops who were not firearms, including the soldiers of the left battalion, also moved quickly, armed their positions to the teeth, and only heard some sounds of fighting through the city walls for a week since the start of the war, and these forbidden troops had long been irritated by the hunger and thirst of the war spirit.

Those people of the Beacon Fire Mercenary Regiment had obviously planned for a long time, and they were very skillful in manipulating the machine to lower the city gate, and the city wall was full of fire, and the city gate of the black hole was opened, and there were thousands of troops and horses behind them who were already ready to attack.

"Kill!"

The sword and sword shadow kicked off, and this night is destined to go down in history.
