Heavy snow fell, falling on the Heluo Plain, covered in silver.

Zhang Chong stood outside the golden tent with a serious expression.

At this time, he saw more than ten waves of cavalry rushing from the south, and guessed in his heart that this was a report sent by the besieging army to ask for battle.

Sure enough, the riders began to shout from afar:

"I, the Flying Tiger Army, ask the king for ......."

"I, Wei Bojun, ask the king for ...... battle."

……

As a result, on the horse running track arranged in the camp, there was an endless stream of cavalry from all armies, and the voices of battle came and went.

The generals who remained near the Golden Horde all looked at the king and asked him to make the final decision.

Zhang Chong pursed his lips, felt the coldness of the snowflakes falling on his face, and roared angrily:

"Fight!"

There was a brief blank space, followed by a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami, and everyone near the military tent raised their arms and shouted:

"Fight!"

As a result, the 300-sided cowhide drums arranged on the dirt slope of the base camp of Beibi Mountain began to beat slowly.

At first, it was slow, then it was urgent, and finally it was forced into a rumbling thunderous roar.

It's not just the falling snowflakes that are shaking, it's the sky and the earth changing color.

In the spring of the third year of Taiwu, April 14, on the outskirts of Kyoto, the place of agitation.

The armies of Mount Tai, the fine armor is dazzling, the armor is like the sea, and the siege of Beijing is threefold.

On that day, the sky was not smooth, the clouds were dense, the wind was cold, the snow was flying, the sky and the earth were the same color, and the silver was wrapped. However, the morale of the Taiwu people is like a rainbow, not hindered by the snow, and they strive to be the first to brave the snow to attack the city.

Its momentum is like a tiger descending the mountain, its fierceness is like a wild rush to the ground, and the bloody battle under the city is very heroic.

……

The sound of the war drums of the Chinese army reached the Flying Tiger Army outside the Xia Gate in the north.

Xu Huang paced back and forth under the big curtain in a big coat.

At this time, the troops attacking the summer gate stopped there because of the sudden heavy snowfall.

The people present were all veterans, and they knew that this kind of weather was not conducive to the siege of the city.

Not to mention that this is spring and April, it is already approaching summer, and the armies have no winter clothes in stock, and the few are still left from before, and they cannot supply the whole army at all.

Then the ice after the snow will also make the walls slippery, and the besieging party will not be able to stand on the head of the city at all, so even if the city is attacked, it may only be during the window period when it is still snowing, and if you miss it, you will not be able to attack the city for at least a few days.

Finally, the most serious is the blow to the morale of the army due to the abnormal weather.

No matter how much the Taishan army preaches a certain degree of "scientific" teachings, it cannot be denied that they are the people of this era, and they have been immersed in the atmosphere of mysticism since childhood, and this thing has long been infiltrated in their mode of thinking.

At this time, in their opinion, this is the destiny of the Han family. Heavy snowfall in April, this catastrophic scene that will not be seen once in many years, who is not stunned to see it.

As a result, the siege army of the Flying Tiger Army all hesitated.

In fact, not to mention these officials, even he had just made a lot of determination to let Ling Qi go to the base camp to ask for battle.

Without him, it was not that Xu Huang was afraid of death, he was afraid that the brothers below would suffer heavy casualties.

This is also a disadvantage of the Taishan army, that is, in most cases, the main general is often too cautious because he is afraid that the troops will be punished for too many casualties.

There are two sides to everything, Taishan Army says that he loves soldiers like children, so he is naturally reluctant to put children in danger.

But the army has always had a saying that mercy is not in charge of the army, just because not all battles are immortal battles, and in most cases, everyone needs to survive.

But......

Xu Huang muttered as he looked at the thunderous cheers of the Han army in the distant city, and murmured:

"But this is just such a moment."

Suddenly, the battle of the Chinese army came, Xu Huang jumped up suddenly, he immediately turned on his horse, turned around and picked up his tiger flag, and rushed forward like an arrow.

At a gallop, he carried the military flag and gave the order to the army in front:

"Siege, siege, siege!"

After the siege of Sanhu, the Flying Tiger Army's own war drums also began to beat, and the same drums also sounded on all sides.

This is the echo of the drums of the base camp by the armies under the city.

At this moment, the war drums were beating, the military order had been issued, and the siege army, which was still hesitating, understood the meaning of the above and began to prepare the formation in an orderly manner.

At this time, the heavy snow in the sky fell heavier and heavier, falling on the shoulders of these Taishan army children from all over the world, and soon fell into a small pile.

But soon, these snowdrifts fell to the ground again in the running of the Tarzan soldiers, and then they were heavily stepped on by the Taishan soldiers behind and turned black.

This time, the attack on Kyoto launched by many Taishan troops was very targeted.

They gradually arranged their forces from the original northeast corner to the east of Kyoto, especially the collapsed northeast corner, which became the key target of the Taishan army.

Obviously, I don't know if it was because of the betrayal of the minister's children a few days ago, the Taishan army suddenly seized the biggest defense hole in Kyoto.

Originally, the north and south walls of Kyoto were directly connected to the north and south palaces by military paths. Among them, the south palace leads to the south city wall, and the north palace leads to the north city wall.

Therefore, when the Taishan army was attacking in the north before, Zhu Jun easily mobilized troops from the north palace to support the city.

And if the east and west sides attack, because it cannot be directly connected to the north and south palaces, the reinforcements need to detour from the north and south first, so that the rescue time will be greatly increased.

Compared with the width of the east, there are a large number of gardens outside the city in the west, which greatly affects the military development of the Taishan army.

Therefore, the east has become the main attack area that can give full play to the advantages of the Taishan army.

And this task was handed over to Zhao Yun's Crane Control Army without accident.

At this time, Xu Huang listened to the shouting of the heat wave from the east, and his heart was still a little sour.

But he quickly got excited, and said to the left and right:

"Let's not believe it, our Flying Tiger Army can't be the first to reach the top of the city."

"Tell the brothers in the former army, whoever can give me Xu Huang a face this time, I will give him the good wine I hid in Yecheng's house."

The people present shouted one after another, of course they understood that the wine Xu Huang said was indeed wine, not wine, it was an opportunity.

As a result, the front army fought bravely, first bombarding the canopy on the northern city with catapults, and then suppressing the arrows of the shooting army on the city of Kim Yong Kim.

This time, the Flying Tiger Army was replaced with special stone bullets, each of which was enough to have 100 catties and could send 50 steps, these stone bullets were polished by the people, and with the participation of a large number of people in Gyeonggi, the manpower of the Taishan Army has never been so abundant.

A large number of stone projectiles bombarded the turrets on the walls of the city with precision, and the flying wood chips and stone fragments caused splattering damage on the top of the city, and there was a bloody wail everywhere.

The stone machine of the Taishan army is not a day or two, so the Han army naturally has to deal with it.

Soon the defenders at the head of the city took out the cloth bags stuffed with chaff and piled them on the top of the city to reduce the damage from these splashes.

Under the cover of the rear stone machine, the Taishan army rushed up with siege equipment such as ladders, bridges, ramming rods, goose carts, and holes.

The Tarzan Army's ladder is not a simple ladder, but a huge movable platform.

Pushed by the huge wooden wheel below, the ladder was slowly pushed up to the top of the city.

Behind each ladder were twenty crossbowmen, twenty brandmen, and sixty assaulters.

After the ladder is erected at the head of the city, the players will first circle a few people to protect a few crossbowmen, and then the crossbowmen will use arrows to suppress the counterattack on the head of the city to cover the assaulters to climb the ladder.

The previous assault members had to hold a pole in one hand, climb a ladder in the other, and bite a knife in their mouths.

Later, the artisan battalion improved the card and added an iron ring at the back, so that the card can be covered with an arm, and then the hand can be free to hold the knife, which greatly increases the speed of climbing.

When the ladder truck was transporting the Taishan army to the city, the rest of the troops also transported all kinds of siege facilities to the city.

Among them, build a troop transport road, Taishan military with a kind of shack called "hole", these mobile shacks can be spliced into a channel, covered with wet blankets or cowhide on the roof, in case of rockets, and then Taishan army can build a troop transport road from this hole, all the way from the barracks to the city.

There is also a giant crash car, in which the entire crash head is made of a whole log, and the officials pull a rope tied to the end of the log to pull the log to hit the city gate.

But it is clear that this impact is useless, because the city gate hole behind the Xia Gate has long been sealed. The log hit the city gate, and it did nothing but shake off a cloud of dust.

When the Taishan army was using its own methods, the Han army on the city tower also saw the move.

For the ladder truck below, they threw torches down and used giant battering rods to crash the ladders that had been erected on the top of the city.

In this way, more than a dozen ladders have been destroyed in about half an hour.

But how much the Han army destroyed here, the Taishan army doubled the transport.

Relying on the construction of 100,000 people in the rear, all kinds of siege materials and resources were continuously transported to the city.

At the same time, Xu Huang saw that the previous cave was so easy to use, and added two more, so under the Xia Gate, the three long troop transport roads were like three giant dragons, constantly pouring supplies to the city.

Zhou Ang at the head of the city already understood that at this moment, he could only let the dead soldiers burn these troop transportation roads from the inside, otherwise Xia Gate might not be able to defend it.

He roared:

"I want a hundred people who don't die, who will go?"

Before the words fell, hundreds of people raised their hands in unison.

Four days ago, the first stop of the Son of Heaven was to visit them at the north gate of Deng, and they had already promised to die for the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, Zhou Ang looked at these people with tears in his eyes, and finally selected a hundred elites, and ordered the army general Liu Yan to lead them to burn the cave.

In this way, a hundred dead soldiers were tied with ropes around their waists and were taken down the city, and then a fierce bloody battle was launched with the Taishan army under the city.

The Han troops on the tower of the city roared angrily when they saw the robes fighting for their lives below, ignoring the arrows on the city of Kim Yong Kim, and kept shooting arrows to cover them.

The Han army in the city was heroic, they disregarded the casualties, constantly attacked those siege facilities, and even some people took the initiative to cut the rope around their waists in order to move, which meant that they were cut off from their way back and would definitely die.

And what did their deaths get in exchange?

When the last dead man rushed into the cave with a torch, the flames burned only a short section of the long transport road before extinguishing it.

So in exchange for tragedy, it is useless.

After that, the siege and bloody battle continued.

In the final analysis, every siege battle is a torment of endurance and courage on both sides, and death always comes quietly, inadvertently taking the life of his robe, and finally his life.

The defenders of the summer gate had already changed rounds twice, and the snow on the city was very thick, but the battle was still not over.

At this time, suddenly everyone heard a tsunami from the northeast, and the original Taishan army on this side finally rushed to the city.

Under the leadership of a strong general, the Taishan army rushed to the top of the city along the collapsed northeast corner, and then launched a desperate attack with the Han army.

This time, Zhu Jun in the city was also alarmed, and he hurriedly asked Yu Fu to bring Jianghuai Ya soldiers to support him.

At the same time, the main generals of the Han army on both sides of the north gate and the east gate also mobilized the rhubarb crossbow to the northeast.

Relying on concentrated firepower and condescending, coupled with the slippery place where the collapsed place, this group of Taishan troops was soon killed and retreated from the city.

At this time, there was no joy of victory on the faces of the Han army, and everyone was in a heavy mood when they looked at the Taishan army outside the city.

This big man is really coming to an end.

……

Night soon came, and it was a torturous night for all.

The Tarzan army outside the city did not have enough winter clothes, but fortunately there were enough firewood to light the fire.

On cold and snowy nights, they huddled in tents, surrounded by campfires, and drank a sip of warm mutton soup.

But the Han army at the head of the city was more miserable.

In terms of material mobilization, the inside of the city is always less than the sufficiency outside the city. At first, they could not even find a campfire to send to the city for warmth, and the sergeants only looked around to see a vacant house of the minister, and finally unloaded it into firewood to barely keep warm.

On this night, the Son of Heaven sealed hundreds of brave warriors in the four cities, indicating that he had been paying attention to the situation in the city.

A little later, the food delivery team organized by the palace also sent buckets of hot soup to the city, which also comforted these Han soldiers who were trembling.

But no matter how hot my heart is, I can't bear the wind and snow this night.

The morale of the Han army at the head of the city was low.

At this time, Zhou Ang was still dispatching some capable officials to prepare to organize a night attack team.

The battle during the day was obvious, and both the troop transport road and the stone-throwing trucks were too great a threat to the city's defenses, and the city would not be able to hold the city if it was not destroyed.

So this time, Zhou Ang organized an army of more than 1,000 people to prepare for the attack on the city, but before they could run to the stone throwing cart, the snow on the ground reflected the light, reflecting the countless iron horses rushing in the darkness.

These Han troops who left the city had not yet come into contact with the cavalry of the Taishan army, and they collapsed in a panic.

In the end, except for Zhou Ang who took more than ten people to the city in baskets, and went out of the city with more than 1,000 people.

Sitting on the basket, watching the wails in the darkness one after another, Zhou Ang cried wordlessly.

And it was the first night under heavy snowfall.

Three days later, heavy snow fell for another three days, and at this time the Taishan army had already given up the siege and all of them were huddled in the camp and did not come out.

However, the Han army on the tower of the city did not dare to go down to the city, and at this time, their frozen and swollen hands could not hold their weapons for a long time.

Although in the past three days, the Son of Heaven has gone to the city one after another, but the officials no longer have the excitement they had before.

The cold finally extinguished the passion in their hearts.

They will still respect the white-haired man in front of them, but they are tired of all this in their hearts, and they only hope that the war will end as soon as possible.

And it was also in this atmosphere that in the northeast corner of Kyoto, near the corner of Taicang, a stone was first loosened and finally collapsed.

There was silence for a moment, and a black face with muddy water on its face poked out, and then disappeared again.

In a few moments, more than a dozen capable naked men crawled out of the hole, and then took bags of armor from the hole. Then, after they are dressed, they cover the pit and watch out for the perimeter.

Eventually, more and more figures came out from behind them, more and more.
