Chapter 56: The Final Destruction

More than ten miles, even if it is an infantry, it can definitely arrive within an hour.

In this regard, Wanyan's false arguments could not be ignored, and despite the embarrassment of troops, he still drew 300 cavalry to guard and intercept.

Having regrouped their men, the Jin army launched another onslaught. This time, they gained some experience and dispersed a lot in formation to reduce casualties caused by artillery fire.

The battle became more intense, and the Jin army also realized that the gap in the walled wall was somewhat narrow, and it was difficult for the troops to break through here, and it was difficult to develop in depth.

Therefore, in addition to continuing to attack from the gap, a part of the Jin army began to ram the gate in order to achieve a multi-point breakthrough.

The sound of explosions, shouts of killing, and screams were incessant, and many wounded soldiers fell, moaning and wailing to the last drop of blood because they had not had time to be transported.

The blood had flowed too much, the ground in the gap was stained red, and the corpses were pillowed, and there were several layers.

In the face of the desperate attack of the Jin army, the defenders also felt the pressure and made deployment adjustments.

The battle around the wall and the gap weakened, and the Jin army's advance became smooth, and the defenders seemed to be unable to withstand it.

Wanyan continued to invest troops, except for the wounded soldiers, except for the personal guards, almost all the men and horses flocked to the town.

However, the tide of battle did not change much, and the defenders abandoned the wall, but fended off the Jin army in the town and plunged it into street fighting.

In a small open space from the walled wall to the town, the defenders concentrated their firepower, and suddenly bombarded them with stone throwers and flying thunder cannons, and the casualties of the Jin troops who poured in surged, and the momentum of the attack was blocked.

And in the town, the defenders took advantage of the narrow streets and improvised fortifications, bombarded with pine cannons, fired crossbow arrows in rounds, and counterattacked with gun arrays, destroying and repulsing a part of the Jin army that rushed in.

Wan Yan rushed to the front to command at the risk of arrows and stones, and found that the situation had not changed much after breaking through the wall. There are street fighting fortifications in the town in front and a walled wall in the back, and the space of the Jin army is not as wide as it used to be.

And the whole team attacking in the open space in front of the town entrance had to brave constant bombardment and pay for casualties.

By this time, the slander had already been gloomy.

I thought that breaking through the walled wall would mean victory, but I didn't expect the opponent to be so tenacious and tenacious, and retreating to the town still had a military advantage.

There was a bang, and not far from the end of Yan's slander, several golden soldiers fell in response and let out a terrible scream.

Wanyan just glanced at it, but was unmoved.

It has been more than two hours of fighting, people are sleepy and tired, and there are many casualties. Although Wanyan's face was serious and did not show a downward trend, it was for outsiders to see.

A few canopies of bricks and stones were smashed down again, and the golden soldiers either used shields to protect them or were busy dodging, but there were still those who could not dodge and were stoned to death and injured.

"General—" An officer wrapped his head, with blood oozing from the dirty cloth, and stopped talking beside him.

Wan Yan waved his hand and signaled the officer not to say more, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Retreat for the time being, and use the wall to cover." Dispatch the cavalry back, leaving only a few probe horses, and our army must attack with all its strength and survive in death. ”

Attack with all your might, and survive to the death!

In addition to surrendering, there is only one option left for the end of the face.

But the truth is so cruel that the cavalry of the Jin army has not yet been transferred back, and the troops led by Han Shouzhong have already arrived. The strength of the defenders was suddenly strengthened, and the last hope of a complete slander was dashed.

"General Wang, General Zheng. How about the next battle to the last general? Han Shouzhong didn't dare to hold it up, although he and Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Ruxin were all of the same grade.

Wang Zhongfeng glanced at Zheng Ruxin, got the hint, and said with a smile: "Okay, our army is already a little tired, and your men and horses are also in a hurry, aren't they-"

"Take turns resting, fighting in shifts, no workshop." Han Shouzhong hurriedly said that there was no problem.

"Then there's General Lao Han." Wang Zhongfeng stretched out his hand and accompanied Han Shouzhong to inspect the town's defenses, so that Han Shouzhong knew what to expect.

After listening to the introduction, Han Shouzhong already knew that the victory was in his hands, and it was just a matter of time.

The Jin army now has less than 1,000 men left, and the defenders in the town together have nearly 4,000 fighting strength. Supplemented by the power of artillery fire and the benefits of street fighting, the Jin army was already unable to escape defeat.

In this way, the ratio of battle losses between the Jin army and the Red Turban Army is close to one to one. Although the Jin Army is slightly superior, but in terms of numbers, it is the Red Turban Army that has an absolute advantage.

Of course, most of the casualties of the Jin army were caused by gunpowder shells, and in terms of archery and martial arts, the Jin army still had the advantage.

Han Shouzhong asked Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Ruxin to escort the battle, he summoned his subordinates, rearranged it, and finished laying the flying thunder cannon he carried, and waited for the Jin army to hit his head and bleed.

Obviously, Wanyan said that there were no binoculars and no high-point lookout, and he did not know that reinforcements had already arrived in the town, and the firepower and strength had been greatly strengthened.

Although the banner in the town has changed, Wanyan also thinks that it is a normal deployment.

After a short rest and rectification, the cavalry of the Jin army also rushed back and dismounted and fought on foot according to the order.

Now, Jin Jun no longer has to have any reservations. After Yan argued, he incorporated his own soldiers into the attack force, and formed a total of four attack arrays.

"I'd rather die than retreat, and those who retreat will be killed!" Wan Yan said in a deep voice and gave orders.

Only by breaking the cauldron and fighting to the death can there be hope of breaking through. This judgment is not wrong, but hope has been basically shattered, and Jin Jun's desperate efforts are just early death.

Sure enough, not long after the onslaught of the Jin army began, Wan Yan realized the difference.

The defenders were more tenacious in their defenses, fiercer in their counterattacks, and more intense in their firepower.

The Jin army had already rushed into three attack arrays in a row, and it had already wedged into the town fifty or sixty meters, but it did not expect that the opponent would suddenly open fire, and a dense bombardment would blow up the Jin army gathered at the entrance of the town all over the ground.

The troops wedged into the town lacked stamina, and were opened by the defenders with pine cannons, covered by crossbow arrows, and counterattacked by gun arrays, but they were repulsed again.

After waving his hand to order the last charge, he obviously hesitated and hesitated.

Because, this is not the situation he expected, and it is not the result that can be decided by pressing the last straw.

But in the end, he still pressed the last of his troops, and would rather die in battle than survive. Perhaps, this is the belief of being a soldier, right?

The fight was fierce and brutal, but it could not change the final result. Because, although this is the case in the front, there are still reserves in the back, and the Red Turban Army has already won the battle.

Han Shouzhong ordered again, and the flying thunder cannon and stone thrower bombarded again, and the sound of explosions was endless, with flashes, and smoke was raised, destroying the outlaw Jin soldiers.

After closing his eyes and defeating, there was no doubt about the result, and there was no hope for anything, unless he had one or two thousand more men in his hands......
