Like a copy of the attack on Yizhou, the coalition forces dug trenches and besieged the city, gradually unfolding. In addition, it took two days to drain the water in the moat and fill part of the moat, and it took two days to surround Haicheng on all sides.

Historically, the Song army Gao Zhongjiao and Li Quan besieged Haicheng twice, but they all returned in vain, which shows the solidity of Haicheng. Abuhan and the others obviously took this as a basis and adopted the tactics of defensive counterattack. They wanted to wait for the rebels to fall under the city for a long time, when the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the food and grass were continuous, they would retreat. If there is a mistake in retreating, Abuhan still wants to go out of the city to pursue, and defend as an attack!

The Jin Army is no longer what it used to be! It is no wonder that in the later Song-Jin wars, not only could they not win, but they also suffered heavy losses.

After the Battle of Yizhou and the siege of Haicheng, Meng Jiucheng came to such a conclusion and was more confident in future battles.

It's just that the Jin Dynasty is obviously overestimating its own strength. After moving south to stabilize, he actually formulated a stupid strategy of "taking compensation from the Song".

And the Song and Jin wars lasted for several years. The Jin Dynasty not only did not seize the land of Huainan, but also failed to force the Southern Song Dynasty to pay the New Year's coins again, but lost a lot of vitality, lost the original materials, increased the burden of the war, and put the Jin Dynasty in a more inferior position in the war against Mongolia.

Several stone bullets whizzed and smashed on the city wall, splashing countless gravel and dirt, and one of the battlements of the city wall had been smashed, and the city was full of rubble and remnants.

Abuhan sensed the enemy's intentions and ordered the ballista bows and arrows on the city wall to suppress them, which had a certain impact on the trebuchets of the rebels.

The fighting on the third day stopped, and although there was no tragic battle of manpower and defense, both sides considered it a normal tentative contact battle, and fierce fighting was still to come.

"Huo Shuai, this is the same as when I fought Yizhou." Cheng Fu gave Huo Yi an introduction, but he knew that the west in charge of the Red Turban Army was definitely not so simple, and some means were being quietly implemented.

Huo Yi nodded, he felt that with the stone thrower, the ability of the rebels to attack the fortifications had been greatly improved. If there are enough of them, it may only be a matter of time before the city is captured.

"The Red Turban Army has not occupied the state city so far, and it is reasonable for them to want Haicheng." Huo Yi pondered for a moment and said, "But we, if we can take Tengzhou and Yanzhou, we can occupy a contiguous territory between Yimeng Mountain and Weishan Lake." It is very advantageous that the armed forces attack together or support each other, which is fast and convenient. ”

Cheng Fu nodded and said, "Meng Jiucheng, although he is young, he is still old and trustworthy. Since he agreed, he will help us fight Tengzhou and Yanzhou, unless there is any unexpected situation. ”

"I look at Meng Jiucheng, I see far and think deeply, how can he not worry that after the Jin army defeats Yang An'er, he will turn to him?" Huo Yi pursed the corners of his mouth lightly and said, "He helped us, and we will help him in the future." ”

Cheng Fu agreed.

According to the latest news, the Jin army has surrounded Yang An'er in Laizhou City and is stepping up the attack, and it is estimated that it will not last long. Yang An'er has been defeated, who is the spearhead of the Jin Army? And regardless of whether or not they can face the attack of the Jin army immediately, as long as they do not have the intention of surrendering, they will also be the target of the Jin army's attack sooner or later.

Therefore, multiple friends and multiple paths, multiple helpers are a few points stronger. The main reason is that Meng Jiucheng is more good at being a person, his posture is low, and he will not suffer a loss when he cooperates.

"Huo Shuai, Meng Jiucheng sent someone." Cheng Fu glanced at it, guessed and said, "Is it going to break the city again?" ”

…………

The sun had not yet risen, but the air was already filled with the chill of dawn, and the grass was covered with gray dew.

Under the protection of his personal guards, Meng Jiucheng looked at Haicheng and waited for that earth-shattering moment. From the first day of the siege, the sappers began to work, and the Red Turbans selected the most suitable west side for digging tunnels. In three days, the excavation and filling have been completed.

Is it fast? Meng Jiucheng doesn't think so. How many years later, the Taiping army blasted Nanjing City in the tunnel, and it only took seven days to destroy what kind of city it was.

The fog shrouded the West Gate, and the Jin Army, who had been tossed by the feint of the Red Turban Army for a day, was asleep, and Abuhan and other Jin Dynasty officials were also sleeping in Meimei's early sleep.

Forced by the strength of the Red Turban Army outside the city, he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, let alone think of the tunnel blasting, and he wouldn't catch the blind man burying the vat to listen to the sound. Naturally, Abuhan and the others did not know that the catastrophe was coming, and the end had come.

Suddenly, boom, boom, earth-shattering loud noise woke up the Jin Army's sweet dream, and the Red Turban Army detonated the gunpowder in the tunnels west of the city. In this blasting, in order to break the city in one fell swoop, the gunpowder was used sufficiently, and the thick city wall was blown open by a gap four or five zhang wide.

The golden drums sounded in unison, shouting to kill the heavens, and the rebels who had been waiting for them rushed to the city wall with a shout, and the first was the commando team with full armor. By the time the fog and dust had cleared, the Red Turban Commandos had already entered the city, followed by an orderly follow-up force.

The three assault teams were the elite of the rebel army, and each team was 500 people. They braved the dust and rushed into the city, and the golden soldiers at the gap were either killed or wounded, and they did not organize resistance at all. The assault team immediately split up and went inside, seizing the north and south gates of the city respectively.

In addition to seizing key points, it is also one of the tasks of the commando to quickly advance and create favorable conditions for the follow-up troops to enter the city and deploy.

The walls on both sides of the gap were occupied, and the access to the city was safe; The rebels continued to pour in, shouts of killing, roaring, and explosions spread and spread throughout the city, and the rising sun shot a red glow behind it, enveloping the ancient city that trembled in the flames of war.

The city is falling! Huo Yi watched the north gate being opened, his own soldiers and horses poured into the city, put down the binoculars, and felt that his palms were cold, and he was nervous and excited, and he sweated a lot.

"General, Qiao commanded to report, and led the commando team to kill Jin Jingluo's envoy Abuhan." A personal guard unfolded the military report and read it to Meng Jiucheng.

"Oh, so fast." Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly and said: "Pass on my general order, Commander Qiao will lead the first construction of a meritorious service, and the commando team led by him will be rewarded with two taels of silver each." ”

It turned out that after Abuhan was awakened, he learned that the enemy army was entering the city, and immediately led his guards to rush out of the mansion and went straight to Xicheng, where the shouting and killing were fierce.

The defenders in the city were distributed in four cities, and Abuhan collected the defeated troops along the way, but there were only more than 500 people, but he ran into the commando led by Qiao E. The two sides fought on the main street, and Abuhan took the lead, but was bombarded into a sieve by several pine cannons.

The battle in the city is still continuing, the rebel army has completed the deployment of the city, the strength has an absolute advantage, and the Jin army is caught off guard, taking care of one and losing the other, and is defeated by the rebel army.
