Chapter 203: Urn City
Zheng Baoliang cried a mess, his face was covered with dust and dried blood, stared at the Song soldiers in front of him with frightened eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me!" I don't want to die! I still have old mothers, wives and children in the city, please, don't kill me! …… I don't want to die! ”
"Damn, this guy is still a soft egg!" A Song Jun walked in front of Zheng Baoliang with a knife, looked at Zheng Baoliang with disdain, and slowly raised the knife as he spoke. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info there are golden soldiers in the city who have heard the movement below, but no one has gotten up to take a look, fighting! If your own person falls, it is equivalent to death, as for whether Song Jun will be stabbed by the corpse, they can't care about it, at this time, everyone can't take care of themselves, how can anyone care about the guy who doesn't know the name of the guy who fell!
"Wait! Carry him back! "At this time, a man who looked like an officer came out of the darkness and stopped the Song soldier who was going to kill Zheng Baoliang with a knife...
"But he's a golden soldier......," the Song soldier who raised his knife pointed at Zheng Baoliang in confusion.
"Nonsense, carry him back to the camp!" The officer shouted coldly.
A few Song soldiers were stunned for a while, put away their knives and scolded Zheng Baoliang and pulled Zheng Baoliang out of the pile of corpses and threw him on the stretcher, causing Zheng Baoliang to scream a few times in pain.
"! Dare to scream that it hurts? Cheap you! Let Lao Tzu fall to you again! A Song soldier who was carrying a stretcher in the back scolded Zheng Baoliang viciously.
Zheng Baoliang was sweating profusely in pain, but he still endured the pain in his leg, hissing and inhaling the cool air and not daring to scream anymore, and was carried towards the Song army camp by two Song soldiers. "General Qiyu, we have captured a golden soldier, who has just been interrogated, and that golden soldier said that the city has begun to run out of food! And these days, the Jin army in the city has also suffered heavy casualties, and they can't hold out for a few days! Meng Heng did not rest until late at night, and was still thinking about the attack on Caizhou City in the big tent, when suddenly his own soldiers brought an officer into Meng Heng's tent, and the officer knelt down on one knee and said to Meng Heng.
"Oh?" Meng Hui straightened his waist, and a hint of joy immediately flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked the officer, "How did you catch the golden soldier?" What else did he say? ”
"General Qiyu, the Jin soldier fell off the city wall in the afternoon, and as a result, he broke a leg and has been lying in the pile of corpses, the Jin army also rescued him, and was carried back by me when I collected the body, and the guy also explained that the weakest thing in the city is the south gate, and the city wall on the west gate has been strengthened by the Jin army inside, and the city gate has also been blocked, and the Jin army guard Wan Yan Zhongde has mobilized most of the elite soldiers in the city to the west city, which is not easy to capture!
The guy also said that it is easier to fight on the south gate side now, the south gate tower was continuously bombarded by our army in the first few days, the city gate has begun to crack, and the outer city wall of the urn city may collapse at any time, and the Jin army can not draw the strength to repair at the moment, and most of the defenders have been transferred to the west city, where the defense is the weakest! The officer replied to Meng Hui with a happy face...
"Do you think that Jin Bing's words are credible? Why did he know so much about the situation at the South Gate? Meng Hui frowned slightly and asked this officer, the Song army in the city has not sent any news, Meng Heng has not understood the garrison of Caizhou City, this kind of information seems to come a little easier, so he is a little skeptical about the authenticity of the information. It shouldn't be fake! When the little ones found out about this guy, this guy had been wailing under the city for a long time, and one of his legs had indeed been broken, but the Jin army in the city did not help him, this guy had hated the Jin people, and he didn't want to die, so he didn't wait for us to ask, he said everything!
The reason why this guy is very familiar with the situation in the south of the city is because this guy was just transferred from the south of the city to the west of the city this morning, and he was still in the south of the city last night to help repair the city gate, so he knows the situation of the south gate of the city very well. Please, the general decides! The officer replied immediately.
"Haha! God help me! Good! Send that golden soldier to the medical camp and treat him well, and send someone to watch him! If you find out that this guy is lying to us, we will kill him! Come on, herald the account! When Meng Heng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and laughed...
As soon as the day dawned, a group of Song troops once again stepped out of the camp, but this time the Song army gathered more troops, and at the same time lined up in the west and south of the city, the war drums rumbled again, and a flag kept shaking and commanding the army to set up a formation outside the city, and a group of Song troops entered the place of departure in a dense formation and arranged the array.
And the city also sounded everywhere with the sound of horns to warn, and a group of golden soldiers also nervously rushed up the city wall, lined up on the city wall, and bundles of arrows were placed under the female wall, ready to resist the enemy.
Everyone knows that this battle is a decisive battle that will never stop, the defenders must not lose Caizhou City, and the attackers vow to capture Caizhou City, and the battle has reached this time, there is no room for turn...
Wanyan Zhongde once again visited the Xicheng Tower, and watched the layout of the Song army outside the city, the Song army still gathered heavy troops in the west of the city, although there were also Song troops in the south of the city, but Wanyan Zhongde still judged that the direction of the Song army's main attack should be in the west of the city, and the Song army in the south of the city was obviously weaker, and it should be the Song army's feint attack on the troops. And the Song army did not let the Jin army wait longer, the armies just finished the formation, and then the Song army in the middle of the army sounded three horns, and then the war drums of the battle rumbled, a group of Song troops shouted, and then carried the newly built flying ladder towards the city wall.
The arms of the throwing carts were quickly raised, and the big stones were smashed into the city wall in the west of the city, and dozens of cannons also approached the city wall and opened fire together, and the gray stones on the city wall in the west of the city flew up in a hurry. . .
"Hold on! Fight them off! Shoot the arrows! Wanyan Zhongde ordered with a calm face, without showing the slightest timidity.
So the shouts of killing in the west of the city immediately sounded in the sky, and the two armies immediately started a bitter battle.
The Song army in the south of the city then began to act, and groups of Song troops rushed out, carrying prepared logs, planks and other things to the south gate of the city, looking down from the city wall from a distance, as if like a swarm of crazy ants, like a tide to the last ditch outside the south gate of the city.
"Look at how the posture is a little wrong today!" A golden soldier stared wide-eyed, lying on the battlement, looking towards the city...
"What's wrong? I think Song Jun is bluffing! Didn't you hear? Voices from the west side of the city? That is the direction of the Song army's main attack! Look down here, the Song army didn't even put a few guns of that kind, and there were only a few of them throwing cars, and they were attacking from the back on their side! Don't be afraid of them! A golden officer walked back and forth on the city wall with his chest folded, and kept expressing his opinions, as if he were very knowledgeable.
This guy actually just sent someone to the west of the city to ask Wanyan Zhongde for reinforcements, but Wanyan Zhongde told them that the Song army in the south of the city was a suspicious army, so they didn't have to be nervous, as long as they insisted that the Song army would not storm the south gate, this golden general had the confidence, and only then did he dare to pretend to sell big here...
Indeed, if you only look at the troops outside the city, the Song army in the south of the city is indeed much smaller than the Song army in the west of the city, and there are not many heavy siege equipment.
But there is one thing that the Jin army does not realize that the Song army in the south of the city is better equipped than the Song army in the west of the city, almost everyone is in battle armor, not to mention, and this Song army is full of light and looks very strong, but the distance is a little farther, and the Jin army can't see it clearly if he wants to.
Huang Xu held a Liuyun scimitar native to Crouching Tiger Village in his right hand and an iron round shield in his left hand, abandoned his horse and walked on foot, leading two thousand elite soldiers of the Zhongshun Army, quietly lining up in the south of the city, staring at the situation ahead with his eyes fixed.
The first to set off was a group of 3,000 infantry troops of the Ezhou Rear Army, whose task was to open the way for Huang Xu's army to get close to the city gate and be ready to go...
At present, the 3,000-foot army is carrying all kinds of logs, planks and other things to rush to the trench outside the city, and there are special people raising shields to cover their movements, although the Jin army in the city when the Song army is approaching the trench outside the city, the arrows are fired indiscriminately, and from time to time the Song army is bombarded with throwing carts and stones, but it cannot prevent them from rushing to the side of the trench and throwing logs and other objects into the trench.
Soon, on a section of the ditch leading to the city gate, the Song army paved several passable bridges with logs and planks.
Immediately, several pointed wooden donkeys were pushed by a group of heavily armored Song soldiers through these temporary paved bridges and pushed towards the urn city. (Don't be fooled, the pointed wooden donkey here is a siege vehicle shaped like a movable house.) The wooden frame is thick, the planks are thick, and the outer cover is covered with raw cowhide to resist the blows of stone arrows. The underside of such carts was empty, and the soldiers hid in the carts and pushed the carts forward. Once you're close to the walls, you can dig underneath them, using the thick planks and cowhide of the pointed wooden donkeys to defend against the stones thrown from the walls or the arrows that fall from them, so that they can dig holes in the ground and enter the city! It's not some ancient torture tool used for women! )
"What are those Song soldiers going to do? What is the purpose of pushing the goose cart cave (another name for the pointed wooden donkey)? Is it possible that you still want to dig a hole and enter the city? While commanding the soldiers in the city to send arrows to resist the attack of the Song army, General Jin nervously paid attention to the few pointed wooden donkeys pushed outside the city, this thing Jin people are also very familiar with, they have not used this for siege purposes before, so they know the purpose of pointed wooden donkeys very well.
"That's not right! Why did Song Jun push the goose cart cave to the foot of the urn city? It's not like you can dig a hole in the ground to get into the city! Some Jin soldiers found that something seemed to be wrong, so they hurriedly reminded their generals.
"Song people aren't stupid!" Some Jin soldiers looked at the Song army's several pointed wooden donkeys with puzzled eyes, sticking to the walls of the urn city.
As soon as they leaned against the city wall, they immediately used crowbars and other things to dry up, and pried down the bluestone or city bricks covering the city wall, revealing the main body of the rammed earth structure in the middle.
