On the city wall of Qi County, there was bloodstains, and the bodies of some fallen soldiers were not even able to be carried away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The attack of the Mongolian army was too fierce, and the city wall was almost captured, if it were not for the two Huai system so that Li Tingzhi would have given a death order, and the sergeant would have resisted desperately, the county town would have been ravaged by the Mongolian army at this moment.

Li Tingzhi wanted to go to the city wall several times, but was stopped, the Mongolian army's arrow rain was too powerful, and most of the sergeants on the city wall were holding shields, but there were still many people who were shot by the roaring bows and arrows.

Boiling oil, boiling water, stones, and even logs were all used.

Only the first attack of the Mongol army was repulsed, and the number of sergeants killed and wounded by the loyal and brave army was close to 500.

According to this situation, the second and third attacks of the Mongol army are very likely to break the city, and if at that time, the army of galloping reinforcements has not yet arrived, all arrangements will be in vain.

A dull aura spread above the city walls.

The military tent in the Mongolian army, Shi Tianze was also depressed, he thought that the charge of 5,000 people would be able to capture the city, but he didn't expect the Song army stationed in the garrison to resist desperately, and actually repelled the first attack.

However, the first attack failed to take the city, and hundreds of casualties were paid.

Shi Tianze was faced with a choice, whether to let the army attack the city with all its might, or leave some of the sergeants on guard.

In just a few minutes, he made a decision, the nearly 5,000 soldiers of the first round of attack rested, and the remaining 10,000 people all participated in the battle to attack the city, this time the city must be taken, and then the army moved to Xigu Town.

Time is incredibly precious.

The second round of the Mongol offensive began.

The commander on the city wall, seeing the black pressure of the Mongolian army, his legs were weak and his mind was a little dizzy, he spoke to the herald beside him.

"Hurry up and report to the envoy of Li Zhizhi, the Mongolian army has begun to attack the city again, this time it is estimated that it will be dispatched...

The next words were not spoken by the Commander, but everyone understood the meaning.

Above the city walls, the firewood under the oil pot was lit again, and the few soaked firewoods that were already soaked were concentrated next to the battlements.

There is no other way out but to fight to the death.

。。。

"Report, the second round of the Mongolian army's offensive has begun, and the Mongolian army attacking the city is estimated to be 10,000 people. . . ."

Before the scout could finish speaking, Wu Shaogang stood up suddenly.

The scale of the attack of 10,000 people shows that the Mongolian army has begun to attack the city with all its might, according to the strength of the loyal army, it is impossible to hold out for too long, and the best time to attack has come.

Du Xiaoqi and others quickly entered the Chinese military tent.

"I order, with 9,000 cavalry as the vanguard force, divided into three wings on the left, center and right, 2,000 on the left and right wings, and 5,000 on the middle road, to immediately launch an attack on the Mongolian army, and the remaining 6,000 foot soldiers, following behind the cavalry, to start a fight...

"My lord, do you want to leave some sergeants behind in case you need them?"

"Press them all up, and not one of them will be left...

On the city wall of Qi County.

Sergeants were rushing up the walls from below.

The city wall was already covered with blood, and the soldiers were constantly falling, and the whistling bows and arrows hit the pillars on the city wall, and the sound of shaking was terrifying.

All the sergeants had forgotten their fears, they knew very well that if the city was breached, they would have no chance of survival, and the Mongol army was accustomed to slaughtering the city, and would never let them go.

Yuan Shichun and the others, leaning against the back of the wall, shot the bow and arrow in their hands, each arrow will have the Mongolian sergeant fall, but their shooting can no longer cause the sergeant to cheer, just a few minutes ago, there were already several ladders on the city wall, in order to push these ladders, dozens of brothers lost their lives.

The Mongol army's attack was too fierce, and in only half an hour, the loyal soldiers were already difficult to resist.

Li Tingzhi lost his temper several times and asked loudly about the reinforcements, but no one could answer.

There were 5,000 loyal and brave soldiers, and there were 3,500 people who were holding the south gate, and almost all of them were pressed up at this moment.

Under the city wall, it has become a bloody place, and the attacking Mongolian army has also fallen into a crazy situation, completely ignoring the casualties, desperately charging in the direction of the city wall.

In fact, the attacking Mongolian army was also a new annex army, and all of them were Han Chinese.

This was a tragic battle between the Han Chinese.

"Quick, the Mongolian army is on the city wall, quick, kill them...

Yuan Shichun looked up sharply and saw that twenty meters from the side, there were already four or five Mongolian soldiers who had climbed the city wall through the ladder.

He was about to get up and go over, but several people around him had already rushed over quickly.

Several of the loyal sergeants fell, but they were no match for the strong Mongolian sergeants.

Several sergeants who rushed over raised the Song hand knife in their hands, and pieces of cold light flashed.

The Mongolian sergeant let out a scream.

The loyal soldiers around him had already rushed to the edge of the battlement, and their task was to overturn the ladder and prevent more Mongolian soldiers from rushing up.

The battle lasted less than two minutes, and several Mongolian soldiers who rushed to the city wall were all killed.

Yuan Shichun brought a dozen or so people, who were the most elite sergeants in the imperial army of Hezhou, all of whom were born as scouts, and in terms of individual combat ability, they even surpassed the real Mongolian cavalry, and the new attached army sergeants were their opponents.

It's a pity that their numbers are too small.

More ladders were erected on top of the city walls, and the number of sergeants of the Loyal Warriors was clearly insufficient.

Yuan Shichun's eyes widened, looking into the distance, isn't it possible that the reinforcements have not arrived yet, really wait until the city is breached, what is the point of the deployment of encircling and suppressing the Mongolian army.

Li Tingzhi finally walked up to the city wall, and there were only 100 soldiers left at the south gate, and all the rest came up.

Li Tingzhi's arrival boosted morale, and the soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army screamed, threw themselves on the wall battlements, and desperately overturned the ladder.

Li Tingzhi's face was gloomy, he saw Yuan Shichun and the others, but he didn't speak.

The guards surrounded Li Tingzhi in the middle and prevented Li Tingzhi from going to the direction of the battlement.

Li Tingzhi's fists were clenched, staring hard ahead, and despair was already evident from his demeanor.

Shi Tianze was already riding on horseback, quietly watching the battle in front of him, his face was very calm, but if he looked closely, he could still see a trace of relief and pride in his eyes.

In Shi Tianze's opinion, it won't take long to break through the city, although it costs some casualties, it doesn't matter, being able to capture or kill the Lianghuai envoys of the Great Song Dynasty alive is a huge victory, which can be compared with quelling Li Pu's rebellion.

After Liu Heima died of illness, Shi Tianze can be said to be the first general of the Han people in the Mongolian army, Zhang Rou and others are far from being able to compare with him, whether it is military exploits or qualifications, this time to quell Li Pu's rebellion, although the nominal commander is Prince Ha Bichi, but in fact it is he Shi Tianze who leads the army.

After quelling Li Pu's rebellion, Habichi had returned to the grassland, and Shi Tianze stayed behind to recover the Huaibei Prefectures that had been captured by the Song army.

The battle went smoothly, beyond Shi Tianze's imagination, almost after any fighting, Tengzhou, Xuzhou and Bozhou and other places were completely recovered, the Song army was like a lost dog, he knew to flee, just when Shi Tianze was preparing to be stationed in Xuzhou, sitting in command, he received unexpected information.

Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the two Huai systems of the Great Song Dynasty, led a loyal army of 5,000 people, guarded in Qi County.

This information made Shi Tianze tempted, but he had not lost his mind, and the information that followed made Shi Tianze make a decision to personally lead the army to fight.

The 5,000 people under Li Tingzhi's command have become lone soldiers, and they will not evacuate Qi County in a short time.

Shi Tianze couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, and he ordered the army to march as fast as possible and surround Qi County.

That is, in the process of marching, the intelligence was sent again, and Li Tingzhi's son-in-law Wu Shaogang led more than 20,000 sergeants to help, but most of the sergeants under his command were sergeants evacuated from Huaibei and had no fighting spirit.

Almost as soon as Shi Tianze read the intelligence, he made a decision and gave the order to fight.

The army led by him is still marching rapidly, encircling Qi County, do not attack for the time being, and the 10,000 troops in the direction of Sizhou quickly rushed to Qi County, forming a joint encirclement of the Song army, as for the other army in the direction of Mengcheng, do not act for the time being, hold Mengcheng to the death, and cut off the road for the Song army to evacuate.

Shi Tianze made sufficient preparations, attached great importance to it, and dispatched 25,000 Mongolian soldiers in one go, knowing that his opponent Song Army also had nearly 30,000 men.

After the battle began, there were some deviations in the plan, but on the whole there was no problem, the Song army seemed to have sensed something, and did not directly attack Qi County, but turned to attack the reinforcements in the direction of Sizhou, but unfortunately the Song army did not think that the Mongolian army in the direction of Sizhou was the most powerful force in combat.

Occasionally, Shi Tianze would think of that Wu Shaogang, the first time he heard this name, since he was Li Tingzhi's son-in-law, he was definitely not very old, and he didn't know if the Great Song Dynasty was empty, so he actually let such a young man lead an army of more than 20,000 to help.

In Shi Tianze's view, the Great Song Dynasty is rotten, and a young man like Wu Shaogang must rely on Li Tingzhi's help to be able to jump to a high position, otherwise it is impossible to have such a great power.

The strategists around Shi Tianze specifically said that the Song army abandoned Qixian and attacked the reinforcements in Sizhou, which was a good arrangement, but Shi Tianze thought that this was just a conspiracy of the Great Song Dynasty, on the one hand, to provide him with information, and on the other hand, to think that the sneak attack would be successful.

How could a mere trick fool Shi Tianze.

Song Jun stole chickens this time.

Shi Tianze, who was full of pride, wanted to annihilate nearly 30,000 Song troops this time, which shocked the court of the Great Song Dynasty and made his own military exploits even more outstanding. (To be continued.) )
