When Wang Yan heard the words of the magistrate, he was furious: "Does the county prince want to reduce the gold?" "The magistrate didn't dare to speak. Wang Yan called his subordinates and took care of the magistrate.

Wang Yan climbed to the top of Xinxiang, looked at the joint camp of Jin soldiers outside the city, and muttered secretly in his heart: "I don't know when the reinforcements will come." ”

A few days ago, the Jin soldiers attacked the city, and the equipment was not prepared, so they simply used the ladder ant to attack the city

"The golden people have the tools to attack the city, and there are fire ladders and cloud ladders. The fire ladder is as high as the city oar, and those who are higher than the city can burn the oar. "After the fire ladder is lit, it is pushed down and leaned against the castle tower, and the wooden tower on the castle tower and other official affairs can be burned with the fire ladder.

Wang Yan used a scratching hook, braving the fire, to hook the lower part of the fire ladder that had been lit, the support of the fire ladder had been burned to the ground, and the hook was broken, and the burning ladder head part naturally fell down the city.

"The ladder bridge can lean on the city and go up, and the car is used to promote these two things, but the collision rod can be resisted", and the "collision rod is" with a large wooden length that can be counted zhang. It can also be used to wear dozens of horizontal woods and leave the handle to be dedicated, and the head can be wrapped in iron, or installed with a large iron, or installed with a fork hook head. ”

There are three or two strikers on each floor. When the ladder approached, the soldiers pulled up the battering rod like a swing. When the ladder leaned against the top of the city, he released the batting rod, and the giant tree swept over the ladder, knocking down the ladder, and the golden soldiers on the ladder fell to the bottom of the city.

There are some fish that have slipped through the net, the ladder has not been knocked down by the rod, the soldiers rushed up, fixed the ladder with a hook, and threw the torch down the ladder, the torch was stuck on the ladder and burned, so the ladder was burned, and some smashed into the golden soldier, and the golden soldier fell.

A very small number of brave golden soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, and there were already hook pikemen in the city to cooperate, hook the golden soldiers, and stab them to death with spears.

In this way, Xinxiang has been holding on for half a month. Now, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city, besieged the city for so many days, the Jin soldiers have set up dozens of seven-pronged cannons, and threw the grinding stone into the city, the Song army in the city has few equipment and manpower, there is no corresponding trebuchet to fight back, and there is no way to build a net and open the curtain, the soldiers have to hide in the dead corner under the city wall, dodging the stone bullets.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the golden soldiers pushed both the goose cart and the cave cart under the city wall, and the cave cart began to dig the wall, and the goose cart also rose.

Jin Bing still used a ladder to test the city first, but was repelled by Wang Yan with a ramming torch. The ladder can neither be climbed. The golden soldier is the car of the cave. The cave is like a number of houses, all wrapped in raw skin, hiding dozens of people underneath, holding shovels to dig under the city. Wang Yan ordered people to prepare a sulfur package, threw it from the city, and then dropped the torches, and burned the cave cart to the ground.

The golden soldiers attacked the city with a goose cart, the goose cart was equal to the height of the city wall, there was a platform, the golden soldiers climbed to the top of the platform first, and when the goose cart leaned on the city wall, the golden soldiers jumped from the platform to the city head and fought with the Song army. Wang Yan concentrated the remaining dozens of divine arm bows on the enemy tower, used the divine arm bow to shoot at the roof of the goose car, arranged strong men, and ambushed behind the female wall with a long Ke axe.

Jin Bing took turns to put the goose cart, the cave cart, and the ladder into battle. He also set fire to the people of the city with grass, and set fire to the ladder and the cave of the goose cart. At the same time, the stones were rolled and the wood was boiled, and the golden soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the city.

That night, Wang Yan recruited more than 200 Ruishi to rob the city at night, and made an appointment to kill people and set fire to the village, calling the Kyushu Han'er to rebel, causing it to be in chaos.

But what about tomorrow?

The next day, Tanma overlooked the city tower, and reported to Wang Yan in surprise that there seemed to be a military horse outside the city and set up camp, with the banner of the red flag of "Jianyan", and the black flag on a white background, the words on the flag were far away, and it was not clear to see, but it was definitely a Chinese character.

"Reinforcements are coming!" Wang Yan also observed from the city tower that the new army was set up camp in the direction of Nantaihang, standing against the mountain, with a posture of defending the camp, Wang Yan thought to himself, "It seems that this reinforcement is not in a hurry to relieve the siege." ”

The camp here is Huyan Geng, although he aided Weizhou in the south, but did not take the initiative to attack the strength of the sticky Han headquarters, Puliu Ru Bosheng only has more than 10,000 people, all of them are volunteers and righteous people in Hedong, although there are brave people, but most of them are untrained and do not know the military formation. In such a short period of time, it is rare to be able to familiarize these new soldiers with the Golden Drum Banner.

Huyan Geng went to Huixian County first, arranged grain, grass, baggage and other things in Huixian, led a thousand people to garrison with Pang Shannuo, and took most of his own troops to camp along the South Taihang, and dug trenches all over the camp.

Hu Yangeng waited for the Jin soldiers to take the initiative to attack, and when the time came, the 9,000 people under his command were guarded by the camp, and they might be able to deal with the Jin soldiers.

Jin Bing saw that there was a Song army camping here, and sent a Mouke to check, Gao Zhong led the light cavalry to attack, beheaded the general to capture the flag, and killed most of this Mouke.

When Mu Han learned of this, he was furious and sent a full 3,000-strong Meng'an to test the reality of the Song army's reinforcements. This Meng'an was a mixture of the Xi and Han armies, and they tried their best to break through the gate of the camp, and more than 1,000 people broke into the camp and were besieged and killed by the Song army with three times the strength of the camp.

There were brave Jin soldiers who wanted to take the lead in killing the ambush, but they were killed by Gao Chong, Wu Song and others. The trapped Jin soldiers gradually lost their heads, losing more than 1,000 people, and some of the signed troops recruited in Hebei broke away.

Only then did Yan Muhan pay attention to the reinforcements of the Song army, and he left half of the army to continue to besiege Xinxiang, and personally led more than 15,000 people to attack the Song army camp.

Although Wanyan Muhan only took half of the troops, the Jurchen elite was among them, and only a few Khitans and Bohai people were left around Xinxiang, and more than 10,000 people were newly attached Han troops.

Wang Yan saw the changes in the Jin soldiers at the head of the city, and personally led the warriors to go down to the city to cut the camp. More than 2,000 people broke into the joint camp of the Jin soldiers, rampaged, slashed left and right.

Wang Yan was born brave, "Yan and dozens of people under his command galloped to it, invincible." "When the Jurchen soldiers were not there, no one could stop Wang Yan from these more than 10,000 new annexed troops, Wang Yan fought hard for an hour in the Jin soldier camp, to see that the battle was going well, and Bai Anmin, who stayed in the city, led 3,000 people out of the city to reinforce.

5,000 people clashed in the gold camp, and from the time to the beginning of the time, they defeated the entire Jin army camp, and then moved the grain from the gold camp into the city, and then burned the gold camp.

At this time, Wanyan Muhan, who was attacking the Song camp under Nantaihang, saw the fire on Xinxiang's side, and An An complained bitterly.

He led 15,000 elites to besiege the Song camp here, originally wanted to be like the siege of Taiyuan, sweeping away the reinforcements with thunder, but he didn't expect that a team of fierce soldiers rushed into the camp smoothly, but when they encountered ravines and ravines, iron horses and spears, they were useless, and they could only use the precious iron floating to fight on horseback.

The other party seems to be just a Minzhuang with a big stick, but the victory is in the crowd, up and down the trench, there are several people besieging one person, or more than ten people besieging two or three people, and the real Shengnuzhen, against such a Minzhuang, even if it is exchanged for three, it is still not cost-effective in Wanyan Stickyhan's opinion.

Now that there is a fire in the direction of Xinxiang again, Wanyan Muhan on the one hand sent a horse to investigate the situation, and on the other hand, put a group of fresh troops into the camp. But the camp is not an open land, it is by no means a rush into, the Song army and the Jin soldiers fought fiercely in front of the camp gate, blocking the camp gate tightly, the Jin soldiers outside could not enter, and the people inside could not get out.

The pressure on the golden soldiers outside the camp gate was increasing, and the Song army, who was armed with knives and sticks, was retreating step by step, and suddenly, rows of cans were thrown into the ranks of the golden soldiers crowded at the camp gate.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble.

More than 100 bombs exploded among the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers who were not hit were defeated and retreated.

Referring to the militia manual brought by Hu Yangeng, Ling Zhen was already able to make a match-type fuse. Although the grenades thrown out were the same as the grenades in the border area back then, four petals were exploded in one piece, but thrown into such a dense crowd, every shrapnel could kill and injure the enemy, and some shrapnel even pierced the body of the golden soldier.

The Jin soldiers had already retreated, and the corpses and wounded were lying at the gate of the Song army's camp, densely stacked.

The Jin soldiers who had entered the Song camp in advance were still fighting hard, and Mu Han stopped two miles away from the Song army's camp, and he could still hear the shouts of killing inside. There were 3,000 gold soldiers in the battalion, at least the former Jurchen disciples, and the others were also very loyal Khitans and Bohai people. It was impossible for Mukhan to leave them behind, and he ordered the army to press on it, not only attacking the camp gate, but also attacking the camp wall with rushing carts.

In the camp of the Song army, 6,000 Song soldiers surrounded and killed more than 2,000 Jin soldiers, on the wall of the Song army camp, the Song soldiers blocked the Jin soldiers outside to destroy the camp wall, and at the gate of the camp, the armored grenadiers were armed with long axes and led a thousand knife and stick hands to block the reinforcements of the Jin soldiers from entering the camp.

At this time, a military horse came from the direction of Xinxiang, and Wang Yan brought more than 2,000 people to reinforce him.

The two armies were fighting, and at this time, hundreds of horsemen came to the edge of the battlefield, observing the situation on the battlefield.

"The gold thieves are boundless, and I am afraid that there are 10,000 or 20,000 people."

"Is that Wang Shuai's banner over there?"

"Yes, it's Wang Shuai."

"Is the banner in the camp General Hu? Most of them are General Hu who defended the city in Bianliang. ”

"Big brother, Wang Gui and his sons are still twenty miles behind, I'll urge them."

"Second Brother Tang, slow down." The leader of the man was a white horse with a silver spear, a white robe and plain armor, and he said loudly: "The battlefield is decisive, only between breaths, how can I have time to wait for the infantry army, the outpost has 200 people, and I will rush into battle." ”

Seeing that all the brothers were hesitant, the leader said: "We are all Tangyin people, our families are here, and our ancestral graves are here." If the imperial court is defeated, our family will be ruined, and even if we save our lives, the bones will not be buried in our hometown after death, and we can only be brutal in the wilderness. However, if the brothers are willing to follow the brothers, regardless of the infantry, they will fight forward, and if they are taken by surprise, they will win! If you win, you will save your hometown! Even if you die in battle, you will have endless incense and your reputation will last forever. ”

He raised the Zhangba iron spear with one hand and shouted: "I'm going, are the brothers coming?" ”

The other nine people didn't talk nonsense, each armed with a weapon, beat his horse and rushed down with the leader. This line of 200 horsemen, horses' hooves like flying, smoke and dust like clouds, spears are headed, and the three armies are easy.

Note: In the second year of Jianyan (1128), in Dazu County, northwest of Chongqing, the Southern Song Dynasty built a large grotto in Fowan, Beishan, which is now No. 149 Grottoes of Fowan, Beishan. In this grotto, there are two gods and Buddhas holding handcuffs and grenades. The grotto could not have been built in a year, so during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were already handcuffs and grenades.

Please collect it, please help pull down the grenade
