Chapter 168: The Golden Soldiers Attack the City
After waiting for a day, the Jin soldiers finally launched a siege.
Wanyan Zongbi attacked the west gate, while Wanyan Xiyin attacked the north gate.
What is surprising is that Wanyan Zongbi gathered up the servant army under Wanyan Kang, who had fled before.
Now, he has the largest number of troops under his command, as many as 300,000.
With his order, the soldiers all over the mountains rushed forward with the ladder on their shoulders.
In addition, there were some siege engines, all of which were moved out.
Knock knock!
The drums of war rumbled and shook the sky.
The shouts of killing, the roars, and the whistling of horses were all in one.
Those who rushed to the front were indeed servant troops.
These servants were driven forward by the golden soldiers with swords.
Whoever dares to retreat will be slain immediately.
Stand back and die!
They have no way out, so they can only bite the bullet and rush forward without fear of death.
On the city wall, the archers of the Great Song Forbidden Army were shooting frantically.
Wave after wave.
Under the city, the servant army fell one after another, and more and more people died.
The dead fell, and the living continued to charge.
Soon, someone rushed to the front of the moat and was blocked by the moat.
The bridge slabs were carried forward and put on the moat.
The soldiers rushed to the foot of the city and began to build ladders up the city.
Soon, someone with a shield was climbing up the city.
However, the Great Song Forbidden Army on the city wall was not easy to mess with, and began to shoot arrows below.
Those who held up their shields and did not shoot were stoned.
On the walls of Lin'an City, a large pile of stones has long been prepared.
The siege battle was very stalemate, and almost all the troops on both sides were engaged in the battle.
It's a pity that the strength of the forbidden army is a little less after all.
In addition, the walls of Lin'an City were too wide and long, and the defense line was stretched all at once, which was not easy for the Song soldiers to defend.
In some areas, there are already a large number of enemies, climbing the ladder.
"Smash me!"
In charge of the west gate was the commander of the Tianwu Army, Zhu Shengfei, who was directing the soldiers to move the rolling logs and smash the enemy soldiers on the ladders.
Roll the log down and knock down a string directly.
This method is very effective.
Li Gang at the north gate was even more ruthless, commanding the artillery formations on the city wall and firing wildly.
The cannonballs spewed tongues of fire and fell into the enemy forces outside the city, exploding a large area.
The blind spot at the foot of the city is to use rocket soldiers and fire crossbow soldiers to shoot wildly below.
Encounter some giant shields and climb the ladder of enemies.
Then hit it with a rolling wooden stone.
If you can't even drop the rolling wood and stones, then pour it with fire oil and burn a bunch of them.
Screams and wails came and went.
The 55,000 troops of the Shenwuwei were all used as reserves.
This battle will definitely last for a while.
You can't do without reserves.
When the personnel of the Shence Army and the Tianwu Army are consumed, they will send the new pawns of the Shenwu Guard to replace them.
Moreover, doing so is also to give these new pawns some time to adjust their psychology.
Whoever goes to war for the first time is not afraid.
Among the Shenwu Guard, there are only 20,000 northern rebels who have experienced battles.
These 20,000 people belong to veterans, and they have become accustomed to fighting on the battlefield.
However, the recruited Inhuman group and Lin'an new pawns have no combat experience, so they will definitely be uncomfortable.
Lin Yuan estimated that among them, the condition was good, but their legs trembled, and if it was serious, they might vomit directly, and they would be so scared that they couldn't walk.
Giving this group of recruits some time is also giving yourself a little chance.
As for the cavalry team of the Japanese army, they were still stationed at the east gate.
Although the Wanyan of the East Gate was broken, Lin Yuan did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.
Perhaps after a few days, some people from the Japanese army will be drawn to reinforce the other two walls.
The siege was the first day, and it ended quickly.
The Jin soldiers did not take advantage at all, leaving behind the corpses of tens of thousands of servant soldiers and retreating in a hurry.
Lin Yuan's side won a big victory.
But Lin Yuan couldn't be happy.
Because this is only the first day, the reason why the big victory will be completely due to resources.
After the war, according to statistics from all parties, Lin Yuan immediately found that the forbidden army consumed 500,000 arrows in one day, and thousands of firearms such as rockets, artillery shells, and thunderbolt shells were also consumed.
In the arsenal of Lin'an City, there are only 3 million arrows, 40,000 rockets, and 8,000 thunderbolts.
There are fewer shells for iron artillery, only 3000 remaining!
So you have to save a little bit.
Because depending on the situation, this battle will take at least ten days and half a month.
If the arrows and shells run out early, then only hand-to-hand combat will remain.
Lin Yuan immediately instructed the officials of the Ordnance Supervisor to order people to speed up the production of arrows.
At the same time, people were asked to transport more effective materials such as rolling wood, thunder stones, and fire oil to the city wall.
Not enough supplies? Lin Yuan ordered people to demolish the houses under the city walls.
All the bricks and beams of the house were moved to the city wall and used as rolling wood thunder stones.
This place has long been empty, and the residents have been moved away by Lin Yuan.
And soon, the next day's battle began.
The Jin soldiers again expelled the servant army and attacked the city.
Hundreds of thousands of servant troops were driven down the city as cattle and sheep, and they were immediately cut down if they did not attack.
Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin's hearts are really ruthless.
From the battle to the present, not a single Jurchen soldier has been seen attacking the city.
They were planning to use the servant army to exhaust all of Lin Yuan's resources.
The next day there were more dead and wounded.
The moat outside the city was full of corpses, and the river had already turned bright red.
The forbidden army in the city once again repelled the enemy army.
After two consecutive days of fighting, the physical strength of the Shence Army and the Tianwu Army was seriously consumed, and many people showed symptoms of detachment.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to withdraw two armies and send the Japanese army and Shenwuwei to the city.
And while Lin Yuan was guarding the city, Lin'an City was not peaceful.
Some Jin spies, unwilling to be lonely, tried to stir up trouble in the city.
It's a pity that these people were hacked and killed as soon as they took to the streets.
Lin Yuan had already issued a death order, except for the weapons supervisor, patrol arrest, and a few key people in the yamen, who dared to sneak out into the streets during this period, and killed him.
In doing so, a number of innocent people will definitely be killed by mistake.
It's just that if you don't torture, where can you suppress the entire Lin'an City.
Lin Yuan also knew that it would definitely be inappropriate to lock all the people in their homes for a long time.
But he couldn't care about that much anymore.
Extraordinary times should be done in extraordinary times.
On the streets of Lin'an City, a group of people were killed, which can be regarded as calming some restless hearts.
On the third day, the battle began again.
Without the threat of firearms from the Shence Army, Wanyan Xiyin's attack at the North Gate was even more ferocious.
He actually directly pressed the 50,000 servant army up.
At this time, it was a great test for the new pawns of Shenwuwei.
The 20,000 northern rebels had a very high combat quality, and they didn't need to be commanded at all, and in the face of the large-scale attack of the Jin soldiers, they attacked very echelonly, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy troops under the city.
On the contrary, the 35,000 new soldiers, not long after receiving training, were forced to go to the city to fight bloodily.
The strongest of them has been mentally adjusted, and the offense can remain calm.
However, those with poor psychological quality tremble with a knife, tremble in their legs, foam at the mouth, and incontinence...... It's really ugly, and there's everything.
Among these people, there are more Inhuman soldiers.
This made Lin Yuan really surprised.
Could it be that the psychological quality of these people is inferior to these NPCs?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to draw conclusions.
When Lin Yuan recruited the forbidden army, the NPCs who came to join the army had already taken into account the bloody situation of the battlefield and the tragic situation of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
And those who know this and still insist on joining the army must have a strong psychological quality.
However, Inhuman rangers are different.
They look powerful, but they've always been in a game world.
After many people entered the peerless world, they didn't even go out of Lin'an City.
Some people have learned some martial arts, but they feel that they are not strong, and they run rampant in the circle of strangers on weekdays, and few people dare to manage it, which creates a kind of self-deception psychology for them.
Their psychological quality cannot be measured on paper at all.
