Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Bloody Lonely City 1
On the morning of August 20 of the fifth year of Shaoding, Gao Huaiyuan personally climbed the west gate of Xuzhou City, his tall figure was so eye-catching on the city, a red cloak was on his broad shoulders, hunting with the wind, through the cracks in the clouds, a glow fell on Xuzhou City, and his body was plated with a layer of faint gold, which invisibly made his body seem to exude a halo like a god, and his body stood still in the wind, like a mountain-like majesty.

And the city and the city are full of earth-shattering shouts and killings, a piece of boulder in the city outside the city of the Mongolian army under the throwing of the car, like hail fell on the city wall of Xuzhou City, smashed Xuzhou City dusty, originally considered a neat battlement, under such a series of blows, almost all of them were destroyed, the entire city wall became mottled, broken as if it would collapse at any time, countless Mongolian troops like a tide towards the city wall, carrying or pushing all kinds of siege equipment, poured under the city wall of Xuzhou City, Like ants, they climbed up the long ladder and rushed towards the city wall, while more Mongolian soldiers stood under the city, lined up and collectively shot arrows at the city wall, and the arrows were sprinkled on the city wall like flying locusts, suppressing the resistance of the Song army on the city wall...
Meng Hui also came to Gao Huaiyuan's side at this time, raised his eyes and looked out of the city, his face was full of melancholy, and he said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Handsome! It's really not safe here, please go down for the time being, it's enough for me to sit here! β
Gao Huaiyuan categorically rejected Meng Hui's proposal without hesitation, kept his eyes on the movement of the Mongolian army outside the city, and waved his hand: "Brother Meng, you don't have to persuade me!" I'll be in charge here! You should quickly go to the north of the city and sit in the north of the city!
This is the last blow, and for them, they are about to be unable to hold on! We survived this onslaught on Ogedei, and the Mongols had no choice but to withdraw! This is our last battle! β
Indeed, as Gao Huaiyuan expected, this is the last siege of the Mongol army, and Wokotai can no longer hold on to today, because there is very bad news from Hebei Road, Polu was defeated in Xingzhou, Xingzhou was conquered by Fu Daquan all the way to the Song army, and Polu died in the city of Xingzhou.
At the same time, there is more bad news also coming, all the way the Song army captured Taiyuan Mansion, turned around and entered the Hebei Road, and is rushing in the direction of Xingzhou, and it seems that they are about to block the retreat of their Mongolian army...
And news also came from the direction of Henan Province that the Song army, which had been stationed in Xin'an County, had joined a Song army that had entered the Central Plains from Tongguan, and had defeated the 20,000 Mongol army of Tachar besieging Henan Province the day before yesterday, and was attacking in the direction of Xuzhou.
And the remnants of the Song army in Junzhou also broke out suddenly, taking the initiative to go out of the city and attack the flank of the headquarters of Wokotai, almost at any cost, and a Song army with a force of about 20,000 people set off in the direction of Guide and also attacked fiercely in the direction of Xuzhou.
The worse news is that he heard that there was another mutiny in Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty who had just seized power, fell in this mutiny again, and it is said that Zhao Yun had already issued an edict against his own brother Zhao Yurui, but he died in the harem...
And he has been leading his troops here for more than two months, but he has not been able to take this small Xuzhou City, no matter how he attacks Xuzhou, this small Xuzhou City is like a piece of pig iron, standing still in front of him.
Obviously, he was only one step away from being able to attack Xuzhou City, but it was this step that made him never be able to take a step beyond the thunder pond and enter this ruined city, so he could only stand outside the city and look at the city and sigh.
Wokotai knew that he might be wrong this time! And he was very wrong, he miscalculated the resistance of Xuzhou City, and also miscalculated the combat effectiveness of their Mongolian army, so that he desperately invested almost all of Mongolia's troops into this small battlefield...
What was the result of the two-month siege? They only broke through the earthen fortresses on the periphery of Xuzhou City, but they never advanced half an inch, and their Mongol army lost its troops and paid the lives of thousands of soldiers outside the city.
If it weren't for Wo Kotai's hard work, I'm afraid that the Mongol army that lacked food and medicine would have collapsed long ago, but he still firmly believed that as long as he defeated Xuzhou City, no matter how big the disadvantage, it would be reversed, so he still insisted, and now the new annexed army and the Han army he brought were almost completely disabled, and they were no longer able to attack the city. Then so many of his tribesmen may really never return to their grassland...
Therefore, Wokotai had to replace these new annexed troops and the Han army, let them rest and recuperate, and at the same time send them to the periphery to resist the attack of several Song troops who were attacking in the direction of Xuzhou.
More than 20,000 elite soldiers composed of Mongolians and Semu people will be pressed on the battlefield by him, and launch the last attack on the crumbling Xuzhou City in front of him......
Ogedai didn't dare to continue to think about what would happen if he failed, but he still resolutely launched this final blow.
More than 20,000 of the most elite Mongol troops gave up their horses, carried ladders and other siege equipment on foot, and rushed towards Xuzhou City together.
"Probably this time we should be able to capture this Xuzhou City!" Wokotai looked at the backs of countless soldiers, stood in front of his sweat tent, and said softly in a voice that only he could hear, for some reason, Wokotai himself felt that when he said this, he had no strength, and couldn't help but flick his horsewhip in anger.
Once upon a time, their Mongolian army was all over the world, when did they suffer such a loss! Even the strongest cities have collapsed under their large army, but this small city that looks so inconspicuous has made them almost collapse all their big teeth, and Wokotai can't figure out why, the Song people have become so ** in just a few years, do they have any secret methods?
Wokotai didn't believe in any miracles, he shook his head vigorously, trying to shake these messy thoughts out of his head, and once again looked at the city wall of Xuzhou City in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Honk!" We must conquer this city today! Whoever is the first to storm the city will be rewarded. β
Countless horns were blown outside the tent of the Mongol army, and the low sound of the trumpet rolled the ground and rolled forward...
After hearing the sound of the horns behind them, the Mongol soldiers quickened their pace more and more, howling vigorously and waving their weapons, and rushed towards the walls of Xuzhou City.
The whizzing arrows kept falling on the city wall, and a group of Gao Huaiyuan's last guards stood around Gao Huaiyuan with shields under the leadership of the two tigers, raising the shield for Gao Huaiyuan to block this dense rain-like arrows, but even so, there were still people who were hit by arrows, and their bodies shook a little, and they immediately stood up straight, struggling to hold the big shield, and continued to shield Gao Huaiyuan from the rain of arrows. . .
Gao Huaiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the movement of the Mongolian army under the city, and when he saw that countless Mongolian troops were already leaning under the city wall, he pushed away the two tigers in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!" Go ahead and stand where you should stand, take up your bows and arrows, and don't spare any strength to hit me hard! I don't need you to be so protective! I don't need your maintenance like this! Give me my bow! Fetch me more arrows! Today I am in the city, and I am dead in the city! Go! β
Erhu was pushed by Gao Huaiyuan, and hurriedly tried to persuade: "Handsome! You ......"
"Nonsense! This is a military order! Do you want to disobey military orders? Gao Huaiyuan glared fiercely, and said angrily to the second tiger...
"Yes!" The two tigers turned red and replied loudly with their legs together.
After saying that, the second tiger sent the super ** bow with two stones and five buckets used by Gao Huaiyuan to Gao Huaiyuan, and then waved his hand and said, "All disperse!" Go up and kill these bastards! β
Dozens of guards immediately shouted together, threw down their shields, quickly scattered and rushed to the two wings of the city wall, each picked up his bow and arrow, pulled it away with all his might, and shot down at the Mongol army swarming under the city.
Nailed more than five inches long night slap and all kinds of wolf tooth slap by the Song army struggled to lift up and smash down the city wall, every night after the night fight put down, there will be a few or even a dozen Mongolian soldiers screaming and falling off the city wall, becoming another victim of this war, after the heavy wolf teeth slapped down, some Mongolian soldiers were slapped alive into a pile of rotten meat, and the situation also smashed the long ladder on the city wall, and even the Mongolian soldiers who climbed on the long ladder also fell down immediately.
Immediately, Song Jun shook the winch with all his might, and used the wheels on the winch to lift these things up again, ready to throw them again.
Some Song soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and their bodies are constantly shot by the arrows of the Mongolian army, but fortunately, the current armor of the Song army is abnormally strong, and it is often just a spark nailed out of the plate armor, and it slides to one side, even if it is shot into the armor, but it is often difficult to cause fatal damage to the Song army, and some Song soldiers have several arrows inserted in their bodies, but after they break the arrows, they don't even look at their injuries, and immediately put themselves into the fierce battle.
Under the operation of the Mongolian soldiers, these throwing carts kept running, throwing all kinds of stones of different sizes to the city wall frantically, some directly smashed on the faΓ§ade of the city wall, and some stones fell into the city over the city wall, constantly smashing the houses in the city and causing them to collapse, raising pieces of dust.
