Chapter 121: Zhan Yuan Prefecture (6)
Wanyan Lou Room did not see the city tower on fire, but saw that his soldiers were cut off their heads and thrown down from the city one by one, and then a more majestic and tragic battle picture came into his eyes, a team of archers suddenly appeared on the city wall, they ignited the arrows and shot at the moat in front of the city, the firewood and grass that filled the trench were immediately ignited, separating the soldiers under the city from the supporting brigade, and the 'warriors' who had lost their support were alone and could not resist, and they were driven down.
Wanyan Lou Room looked for his son's figure through the raging fire, he believed that as long as his son went to the city, he could open a breakthrough in the city, how could the fire stop the footsteps of the Jurchen warriors, he was standing at the head of the Huanglong Mansion with a fire and fighting to the death, and he was still fighting to the death after being injured in five places, and finally opened the door of the Huanglong Mansion, won the emperor's appreciation, the love of the army, and he hoped that his son could also step on his own footprints to succeed!
"You dare?!" Wanyan Lou's eyes were really not covered, he really saw his son in the city, but he couldn't help shouting. It's a pity that his voice is too small for the living girl standing at the head of the city to hear, and his ears are full of the shouts of those pikemen, with his flexible skills, he dodged dozens of attacks from them, and was forced to jump on the battlement, and jumped off the city with a roar...
"Examination!" Wan Yan Lou said with a pale face, his son's much-anticipated astonishing jump was like being slapped in the face, but after all, it was his seed, he actually played a play of crossing the 'line of fire', dodging the arrows of the Yuanzhou army, crossing the burning moat, and his boots and pants were burning and he didn't know it. Finally fled back to the front of the army.
"The capital is unified, and the living girl has been injured in seven places. It's all in front of you! "The results of the examination came out quickly.
"Hmph, ten lashes. Attack again! After Yan Lou Room raised his eyes and glanced at his son, he saw that his son was covered in blood, his face was black, and his bare head was covered with a few egg-sized blisters, the symbol of a Jurchen man, the golden rat tail was only a finger long, and his heart was also painful, but he still had to be ruthless to let him continue, not just for the honor of the family. It's also about morale.
The living girl is also a ruthless person, hastily wrapped up her wounds, and attacked again in battle armor. This time, the Jurchens learned to be obedient, and instead of using firewood to fill the trench, they changed it to sandbags, and this thing sank to avoid bringing their own firewood and grass to burn themselves. Before the defenders of Wonju could catch their breath, the second round of Jurchen assault began, still fierce shooting, still fighting to the death. still rushed to the city at the risk of death.
After picking up these three axes, the Jurchens changed their tricks, no longer climbing the city, but changing to chisel the city. The so-called digging of the city is to chisel down the city wall, commonly known as digging the foot of the wall. The iron-headed soldiers gathered under the city with heavy axes and tried their best to chisel the wall, as long as they could chisel the wall down. Without the protection of the city walls, Wonju will collapse. This trick is ruthless!
By nature, the Khitans did not want to live in the city. New cities were rarely built, and most of them were renovated using the old cities of the previous dynasty, while the earlier city walls were mostly built of rammed earth, and the outside was not covered with bricks. Bricks are in the Warring States period, the Warring States and Han Dynasty tombs are generally used in bricks, not long ago the lively Cao Cao tomb is built with bricks. However, it was used in large quantities to wrap the city wall very late, probably because the bricks at that time were not ideal in terms of cost and performance, and could not be used on the city walls with large areas and often had to face impacts.
Therefore, except for the capital city or important town, until the Ming Dynasty, brick city walls were not common, and a large number of lime, sand and clay were still used to build city walls. In addition, in the style of the city gate, the arched door hole is only after the Song Dynasty, and the previous one is still a large beam type city gate hole. This is not because the Chinese are ignorant of the advantages of the arched structure, but also because of the cost and strength, and it is only limited to tombs, and has not yet been used on houses, bridges, and city gates.
Yuanzhou City is also built on the basis of the old city left in the Han Dynasty when the border was expanded, the quality can be imagined, and the city is in the hinterland of Xijing, who knows that the road will be used to resist the Jurchens digging the foot of the wall today, so it has not been carefully maintained, which is a big trouble.
However, the Jurchens only knew a little about the skin, and they didn't know how safe it was for everyone to hide in the car and dig like the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, or they would dig a section and burn it with fire, and the entire city wall would collapse. They knew that the road was digging forward in the open air, and the city wall was dug through and collapsed. The people in the city found out that they were not in a hurry, regardless of the dense rain of arrows, and smashed down the rolling wood and gravel on the city, but it was still difficult to stop the enthusiasm of the Jurchens to dig the foot of the wall, and they also went to the black coal kiln to dig continuously!
Yuanzhou City fell into an extremely dangerous situation at once: after the Jurchens did not know how many lives Lu Dao had paid, several parts of the Yuanzhou city wall had been dug up, and the city towers were shaking, but thanks to this tofu scum project, the people who dug the wall were buried in it, fortunately it was not chiseled, but it was dangerous enough.
At this critical moment, Zhao Xin arrived, and she found that the things in the city had been spoiled a lot by the eldest brother, and the gunpowder that she got through the caravan was still piled up there, because he didn't know what this thing was or how to use it. Thanks to his ignorance, the Jurchen soldiers, who were toiling under the city, were finally relieved, and countless fiery cloth bags were thrown down from the city, and then exploded.
Hundreds of explosive packs were thrown down the city, and the iron armor was not a modern explosion-proof suit after all, and even a modern explosion-proof suit could hardly withstand the shock wave of the explosive package, let alone them! The Jurchen iron-headed soldiers who were digging the wall were blown up and turned into pieces, and countless people were churning under the city in flames, and the bones of the city were piled up, and few people were spared from this series of explosions!
The unbeatable Xiaoqiang, the living girl, did not appear in front of Wanyan Lou Room again, but he held on, turned his grief into strength and gave the order to siege the city again, and the battle lasted until the dawn of the next day, the dragoons of the three battalions of the Fourth Brigade took turns to fight, and even Zhao Xin personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and finally withstood the attack of the Jurchens, and Yuanzhou was still in their hands...
Aiko died, there were no bones, thousands of Jurchen warriors died under the city of Yuanzhou, Wanyan Lou Room was annoyed, from Liaodong to Zhongjing, he had never encountered such a stubborn opponent, if he couldn't use a plan, then there was only one way left: attack to the death! After two consecutive days, the 20,000 vanguard troops under the command of Wanyan Lou were all dispatched to attack from the four city gates at the same time, and they also became real, and they didn't talk about any conspiracy and trickery, just blindly rushing, rushing, rushing! (To be continued.) )
