In this attack on Chang'an, the main general of the Jin soldiers was mainly Wanyan Sali, who had the highest seniority, plus he had been guarding Hedong Town, close to the Song Dynasty's Guanshan Sixth Road, so he knew the situation better than others. It is most appropriate to use this person as a handsome. It's just that in a battle with the Song army, Wanyan was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying, and was ridiculed by the Song people as a crying Langjun, and his reputation was greatly damaged. He himself knew that the rest of the ten thousand households were not convinced by him, and after giving the order to let Zhu continue to attack, Wan Yan Sa Li first urged his subordinates not to retreat, not to slack off, and to step up the siege of the city, thinking that the rest of the troops would set an example.

Under his strict order, the Jin soldiers climbed the city more and more urgently, up and down the city wall, the black pressure was densely packed with Jin soldiers, desperately rushing towards the city, at this moment, I didn't care about the formation and location, and even swarmed in one place, one person fell, and often ten people rushed forward.

Under such a fierce attack, the defenders at the head of the city did not take a step back. The archer keeps shooting his bow and arrows until the tiger's jaw cracks and his hands are covered with blood, then he throws away his bow and arrows, picks up the swords and spears of his dead comrades, and goes to hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

The soldiers of the forbidden army at the front of the city, often when they were covered in blood and difficult to support, climbed to hug the golden soldiers who had just come up to the city, and fell into the city together and died.

There was no weapon in his hand, and even his legs were cut off, but he still held on to the enemy, biting with his teeth and scratching with his hands until he was exhausted. On the long Chang'an city wall, there were tragic fights everywhere, with severed limbs and stumps everywhere, and blood flowed everywhere.

Zhao Huan was under the protection of dozens of guards, and had already gone to the city, although the miserable scene in the city was like purgatory on earth, he did not show the slightest panic, after entering the city tower, Zhao Huan did not disturb Kang Chengxun's command, but just stood quietly on the side, looking at the battlefield in front of him.

The bad news is extraordinarily attentive, and it keeps coming.

General Hu Bin was wounded by an arrow while reconnoitring on a light horse, and he was fighting at the head of the city at this time, exhausted.

Soon after his death.

Adjutant General Zhu Jixiang died in battle.

Captain Fan Wang's abdomen was cut open by the enemy, and blood and minced flesh flowed all over the ground along with his intestines, but he still fought and did not retreat until he fell to the city with the enemy in his arms.

The rest of the middle and lower-ranking officers and soldiers were killed and wounded in battle.

Chang'an City, in the midst of iron and fire, is crumbling.

This method of using the most rudimentary ant attachment to ascend the city does not have an arrow tower higher than the city wall. There is no Lu bus that hits the city wall or city gate, and there is no catapult, the Jin soldiers can put so much pressure on the defenders of the city, from early morning to noon, half a day has reached the edge of breakthrough, it must be said that the main reason is that the troops defending the city are too few, and only the most rudimentary equipment can achieve such an effect, and the enemy's bravery and good fighting is also one of the reasons.

Hit to this point. The emperor ascended the city to supervise the battle. It did not bring about substantial changes, and like the Song army, which fought bravely to the death, the Jin army did not care about the dead and wounded. At the same time, the Jin soldiers were superior in numbers, fighting skills and physical strength, and superior in archery.

The low level of Chang'an City in the Song Dynasty did not have a moat to prevent the enemy from approaching the city, although the enemy did not attack around the city, but only concentrated in a section west of Chang'an City. But he still relied on various advantages to attack strongly.

"Let's go up to the camp and the guards!"

The Song army in the city has all gone to the city, and they still can't resist it, even Kang Chengxun and others can't imagine it. In desperation, he had no choice but to invest the last force at hand, the former was established not long ago, and was led by the supreme general, with only three hundred in number. They are all selected warriors in the army, the latter is less numerous, they are the military attachés of the guards around the emperor, and they are at least the rank of a lieutenant when they are put down, but at this time, they can't care about it.

The commander of the Destroying Blade Battalion is Captain Yi Qing, who has long been standing beside Kang Chengxun, and when he heard the order of the commander, his face was happy, and he hugged his fist towards Kang Chengxun, and said: "The last general will live up to the general's expectations and repay him with death!" ”

Kang Chengxun hadn't answered yet, Zhao Huan listened clearly in the city tower, and said to Yi Qing: "It's better not to die." ”

Seeing that Yi Qing was stunned, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Keep a useful body and kill a few more golden dogs." ”

"Yes!"

Not only did Yi Qing's face show excitement, but the rest of the soldiers of the Destroying Battalion also listened to it sincerely, and they all showed a look of emotion, the emperor was like this, even if he died in battle, how could the soldiers be shocked.

The Destroying Front Battalion was specially designed for hand-to-hand combat, hundreds of people rested under the city, and when they heard the sound of killing in the city, they were suffocated one by one, and when they gave the order, they immediately lined up neatly, and rushed towards the city head in the form of charging in front of the formation.

The soldiers in the first row held large shields, held high over their shoulders, shielded the people behind them from the rain of arrows, wore fifty pounds of well-made heavy armor, held iron spears and spears, and after a shout, they rushed towards the place where the number of golden soldiers was the largest.

They are in a complete queue, their physical strength is well preserved, they rush left and kill right, when they are all easy, the front row covers, the spearmen in the back row shoot one after another in the gap, the enemy slashes and stabs with little effect, and the front destroyer can easily kill and injure the opponent with a counterattack.

Not long after the new force was put into operation, there was a squad of direct guards who followed closely behind, supporting the tight area with their superior personal force, and the two cooperated to finally defeat the enemy's fiercest momentum.

At the same time as urging the vanguard army to sweep the city, the pressure on the cadres was slightly reduced, and Kang Chengxun ordered one after another to let people start using the 10,000 enemies that had been equipped long ago.

These sharp weapons made of pig iron ladle to cast gunpowder and packed in wooden cages were one of the most important borrowing forces of the Song army to defend the city, although the gunpowder at that time was not very powerful, after exploding, the flying iron pieces could cause very serious damage in the dense enemy formation.

At the same time, the nomads in the north had not yet mastered the manufacture of gunpowder weapons, and they rarely saw that every explosion of 10,000 enemies could make the hearts of these strong warriors tremble and their morale plummeted.

He originally wanted to use these few firearms at the most critical time, but he didn't expect that the enemy had only been attacking the city for half a day and was already forced to use it.

Kang Chengxun gave an order, and dozens of sturdy people who were transferred to the city immediately ran to the city tower, and three or four people worked together to carry out the 10,000 enemies in wooden cages and carry them to the city head.

There are about 20 thousand enemies prepared by Chang'an City, which has been cast with a lot of effort, Zhao Huan originally didn't know that the Song Dynasty already had firearms, and he was very interested when he saw it occasionally, so he wanted to blow one up on a large scale. It's just that this kind of weapon is too demanding, and it takes time to manufacture, and it takes a lot of craftsmen to work together to make one. If you want to mass production, you have to mobilize a lot of material and financial resources, and the gains outweigh the losses, so Zhao Huan has to give up.

As for improving this firearm, or even inventing more and stronger firearms, Zhao Huan never thought about it. First, he was not a science student, and secondly, the Song Dynasty had no such industrial capacity at all, and wanted to use firearms to fight the enemy, and when he made a real musket, he was afraid that he would have been driven to Yashan by the enemy long ago.

"Ouch."

A folk man had an arrow on his shoulder, his body tilted, and the black iron ball in the wooden cage rolled suddenly, frightening the people present into a cold sweat.

Kang Chengxun's face was blue, seeing that people were in a hurry, and he stabilized the enemy of 10,000 people. He immediately ordered, "Light the fire and throw it down the city." ”

The shouts of killing at the head of the city gradually subsided somewhat, and the Destroyer Battalion rushed left and right, although it had already expended a lot of strength and began to have serious casualties, but it successfully contained the momentum of the enemy rushing upward.

The crowd hurriedly lit the fuse, then lifted the wooden cage and threw it towards the place where the enemy was most numerous and densely populated under the city. The gunpowder lead sparked brilliant sparks in the air, and when it fell into the air, there was a loud bang, and the entire iron ball was exploded by the built-in gunpowder, turning into hundreds of fast-moving iron pieces, which hit the surrounding of the golden soldiers below.

With the explosion of the first 10,000 enemies, the remaining dozen or so were also thrown down all over the city, and the loud sound of gunpowder explosions sounded one after another, and the sharp roar of the iron pieces scattered in all directions was one after another, and it was accompanied by the screams and wails of the golden soldiers under the city.

Compared with the lethality of these firearms, in fact, it is far inferior to the bow and crossbow in the city, except for the unlucky ghost who bears the brunt of the attack, it is a little farther away, and the speed of the iron piece is reduced, the danger is much smaller, and the gunpowder explosion that makes a loud noise cannot hurt people. However, the Jin soldiers were originally a barbarian tribe, and the level of civilization was very low, where had they ever seen such a strange weapon, and the loud noise made by every 10,000 enemies seemed to knock on the hearts of the Jin soldiers under the city, making them depressed.

Coupled with the most elite troops invested in the city, the situation eased, after 10,000 enemies surrendered, the morale of the golden soldiers under the city fell, and with the sound of explosions, people began to retreat.

The generals of the Jin army who commanded behind the battle knew that they could not do anything, their morale was frustrated, and it was difficult to regain their strength in a short time.

The rear formation order flag was unfurled, and the golden soldiers under the city began to retreat slowly on the one hand, and fired at the Song army on the other hand, covering the front of the city's climbing troops. In this way, they fought and retreated, and it was not until half an hour later that they all withdrew from the range of the Song army.

When they all retreated, the Song army at the head of the city shouted loudly, wielding swords and spears, and shouted and scolded the Jin people not far away, and many people burst into tears, leaning on the blood-covered city, wanting to shout, but they couldn't make a sound. Half a day of hard fighting, the Song army at the head of the city went all out, with heavy casualties, and when the enemy retreated, he was shocked to realize that he was still in the world.

Kang Chengxun only saw that the enemy was really retreating, but he only felt that his legs were weak, and he almost couldn't stand upright. He didn't care about checking the dead and wounded, so he immediately went to Zhao Huan's side, knelt down on one knee towards Zhao Huan, and reported: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is retreating." ”

Zhao Huan was not as happy as he imagined, but looked out of the city from the height of the city tower, and saw a group of golden soldiers regrouped under the shout of the commander, although many people were covered with blood, but the formation was not chaotic, the weapons in their hands were in their hands, and the whole team sat down to rest, and put it on their sides, ready to pick it up at any time.

With a heavy heart, he said to Kang Chengxun: "If an hour passes, the enemy attacks again like this, can you still hold it?" ”
