Chapter 616: Yanjing Fierce Battle
The siege broke out in an instant.
Luda led a 500-dare army, braved the rain of arrows, crossed the moat, and went straight to the Andong Gate.
At this time, the sky was covered with clouds, the silk rain was drifting, and the sound of killing in other doors suddenly rose from afar, shaking the sky and the earth.
On that side, Yue Fei led a thousand death squads to carry ladders to build a pontoon bridge, crossed the moat, and the soldiers leaned the ladders against the city wall and began to attack the city.
Wanyan Yinshu can personally supervise the battle at the head of the city, but it is to repel the attack here, and some people over there report that they are tight, and there are too few generals under him, and they are running back and forth for a while, and they are anxious.
The two brothers Wu Jue and Wu Ling were bound in leggings, tightly bound rattan armor, tied their waists and arms, held a horn knife in their mouths, hung nine steel whips on their wrists, and led a thousand daring sons to attack the city.
The soldiers in the rear shouted in unison: "Kill the ......" The crossbows on the city sounded, arrows rained down, and the siege soldiers fought bloodily, and both sides suffered heavy casualties for a while.
In the afternoon, the front teams of the soldiers everywhere all pushed up the ladders, and the Jurchen army on the city shouted and shot arrows, and the rain of arrows was so dense that all the branches and leaves of some trees on the edge of the moat were shot out.
The Qin army's siege momentum is like the tide of the sea, spitting out scattered white flowers, rolling from the sky, engulfing how many reefs, pushing thousands of juns of sediment, and hitting the battlements on the city, the battlements emitted a dry roar of fierce beasts, if it is in the night moon at this moment, the night moon will also be sad, if it is in the daytime, the day will also lose its color!
In the blink of an eye, countless dead bodies were piled up on and under the city, but the light rain stopped, only the water stains on the city wall and the accumulation of streams on the ground, all of which were red in color, and the world seemed to change color, and there was a heavy fishy smell wafting in the air.
Zhao Ta has a large number of men and horses, 300,000 troops, and after one round of attack, he will go back to the rear to rest, and then change to the next round, so the offensive never stops, and the army is as fierce as a tiger.
The sky was getting dark, Zhao Ta observed the scene in the city, desolate and lonely, as the night fell, the defenders above no longer had much spirit.
He pondered for a moment and gave an order, the siege will not stop, the siege will be overnight, taking advantage of his illness, he will die, and Yanjing City must be taken today!
The battalion on this side of the moat started a flying cannon, and there was a muffled sound on the tower of the other city, and the fuel pile lighting had been lit, "crackling", and the smell of blood was burning in the flames.
Under the city is also a lamp ball torch together, a moment bright as day, shouting above, both sides are arrows like flying locusts, the top of the wood and stones rained down, the wooden ladder was knocked over, the following stretched out a few zhang long hook, handed over a messy hook, sometimes hooked out a large piece of flesh, sometimes even people were directly dragged out, at that time did not hook to death, but also fell off the city and fell to pieces.
The soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Lu Da and Li Kui each had scars, but they did not retreat.
These two have always been at the forefront, and Ruda is hungry and weak, so he feels out the jerky and stuffs it into his mouth, and then fights.
Li Kui is much simpler, the corpse that fell from the city, grabbed it in his hand, opened his mouth and gnawed, and after a few strokes, his mouth was full of blood, and he looked like a hungry ghost from hell was born, and the demon of the West came.
At the head of Yanjing City, whether it is the soldiers or the strong force that is forcibly pulled up, they are extremely tired, sleepy and tired, but they have no reserve soldiers to replace and rest, even if the materials for defending the city are still very abundant, but everyone loses their spirit and is sluggish.
Especially the people in the city who came over with Zhuang Ding, these people originally belonged to the Liao State, and they handled the Yi Song Dynasty, and finally they were under the command of the Jurchens.
However, among these people were the Khitans, the Bohais, the Turks, the Uighurs, the Tatars, the Han Chinese, but there were no Jurchens.
It's okay to be in charge of them usually, but at this moment, they are asked to work for the Jurchens, but they are not willing to do so, let alone be caught to defend the city.
Siege and defense, do not allow the slightest slack, several miles of city walls, the area is far away, just like the embankment of the river, thousands of miles of protection, but will be destroyed in a hole.
Li Yanxian's expression was hideous at the moment, if he captured Yanjing in one day, it would be an unprecedented feat, and he would definitely leave his name in history, although it was dark at the moment, the big city in front of him was already in danger, and there was only one opportunity left to break through the defense of the city.
At this time, he ordered a storming of the western city, and all the ordnance and ballistae were hailed to the western city at all costs.
He also ordered the soldiers to pour fire oil on the stones, and then tied the burning cloth to the front of the crossbow spears, and tied the bows and arrows to make rockets.
Originally, there was a rocket yard under the supervision of the Great Song Dynasty, which made arrows suitable for carrying fire, and there were various systems of length and size, and now all of them were used, and the head of Yanjing West City immediately became a sea of fire.
After Yan Yinshu could personally rush to Xicheng to command, seeing that the soldiers were really not enough, he began to transfer from other cities to defend together.
Li Yanxian ordered again, regardless of the loss, how much was used, and all of them were hit on the top of the West City, and half of the sky was illuminated by firelight, as if it was purgatory on earth.
He clearly concentrated his firepower to attack the western city of Yanjing, and actually secretly issued an order to Wang Yan in the eastern city, telling him to take advantage of the fierce attack in the western city to open a gap from the east and strive to break through the protection of Yanjing from the eastern city.
This is the strategy of repairing the plank road in the open, darkening the Chen Cang, and striking the east and the west.
In the east, Luda, Li Kui, Qin Ming, and Suo Chao were four people, each with a city gate, and each attacked both sides of it.
At this time, Ruda took out all the food he was carrying, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it heavily, ate it for a moment, and then held the ring knife in one hand, roared loudly, and climbed the ladder again.
He burst out with all his strength, and the iron ring knife danced like snowflakes, and the wind and rain did not leak, and whatever he hit above was knocked away, and it was only a moment before he reached the battlement.
At this moment, there are not as many Jurchen soldiers on the city wall as before, and there are not a few who have been transferred to the west to support them by Wanyan Yinshu, and they are all gathered here to see Luda's bravery.
But this side came over, Li Kui arrived at the head of the city again, he was like a crazy demon, with a dry cooking cake in his mouth, his eyes like copper bells were wide open, and there were countless scars on his body, the whole person was soaked in blood, and a pair of plate axes had turned black, and the skin and flesh of the Jurchen soldiers were still hanging on it.
When the soldiers defending the city saw his vicious shape, even if they were accustomed to life and death, they couldn't help but bluff their eyes straightened, and their bodies unconsciously fell backwards.
Li Kui roared: "Grandpa is here, don't hurry up and die!" ”
After the battlement, the soldiers retreated in panic, and hurriedly took the arrow to shoot, Li Kui couldn't dodge, a few wolf teeth were in the shoulder ribs, he pulled out a few times, because the arrow had a barb and did not pull it out, so he launched a rage and used his strength to pull, and it was connected with a large piece of flesh, but it was not painful, but it was thrown on the ground, and for a time the blood was like an injection, as if a bloody man.
"Grandpa, this is not a human ......" The soldiers in the city were so frightened that their eyes were straight, and those people ran away, where is this still a person, it is clearly a demon in the form of a human.
Li Kui laughed, his face was ugly, but he thought in his heart that His Majesty said before who would be the first to ascend to the city, a reward of ten thousand gold, a general, how much wine can ten thousand gold buy and drink? I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it for a lifetime!
He jumped hard, and the ladder below "clicked" and the cross bench broke, but others also jumped behind the stack.
As soon as he came up, which one dared to go forward? The bow and arrow were no longer strong, so he could only stab with a spear and spear, Li Kui howled like a beast, and the two plate axes in his hand were waved wildly, and his body rushed up, and the soldiers on the opposite side died next to each other, and he died when he touched it.
Luda also rose up vigorously, broke through many barriers, and finally climbed to the top of the city, with the two of them coming up, they immediately killed the battlements out of the gap, and the Qin army continued to climb behind, and Qin Ming and Suo Chao also climbed to the top of the city.
Seeing this, Li Yanxian immediately mobilized the rear standby people, and then carried over hundreds of cloud ladders, all of which went to the top of the East City.
At this time, there were still many Qin troops who did not participate in the siege of the city at all, and they kept their spirits and went to the city like a dragon and a tiger, and it didn't take too long to seize Yanjing Jingcheng.
The west is still fighting fiercely at the moment, and Wanyan Yinshu is commanding in the rear, and suddenly the flag army comes to report: "General, the general is not good, the east city is lost......"
"What?" Hearing this, his body shook suddenly, and he almost fell, and hurriedly used the mace in his hand to hit the ground.
"Then don't take it back quickly!" After saying this, he got on his horse and ran east along the city.
But only halfway through the run, I saw that the soldiers in front of me were defeated and returned, while the Qin army behind was like a tide, and they couldn't stop, surging and chasing.
Wanyan Yinshu was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”
At this time, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, when did Jurchen Jian'er become like this? It is not those people who are running at the front, they are clearly Jurchen sons.
The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, they are invincible, don't say anything about the enemy at this moment, they no longer resist, and they fled quickly.
However, Wanyan Yinshuke's voice still played a role, after all, after many years of accumulating power, those Jurchen soldiers hurriedly stopped and shouted: "General, we don't want to retreat, we really can't resist......
After finishing Yan Yinshu's angry teeth, he wanted to kill a few Zhengjun Ji, but at this time, the army of people behind him surged, and he hated so much that he waved the mace in his hand forward angrily: "Kill the enemy with me!" ”
After those soldiers saw him, they had some backbones, and they also aroused the ferocity in their hearts, and they shouted and turned around and rushed forward to kill, but they had already been defeated, and their spirit was weakened at this time, even if they were fierce in their hearts, how could they compare with the morale of the Great Qin Army, which was just a charge, and they were defeated again.
After finishing the silver technique, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, his arms were trembling, and he watched the soldiers retreat again, and had no choice but to retreat to Xicheng.
At this time, the offensive of Xichengtou has slowed down, and Wanyan Yinshu can cry bitterly in his heart, where does he not understand that he has just fallen into a trap, this is the strategy of striking the west and attacking the east.
He had to take his soldiers to hold on, but with the same fall of the southern and northern cities, the Qin army at the head of Yanjing City became more and more, and in the end, he couldn't go down to the city if he wanted to, because the Qin army had already entered the city from those places and opened the city gate, and the bottom was full of other soldiers and horses.
Wanyan Yinshu's eyes were blood-red, looking at the enemy troops in the north and south and below, he didn't know how many people had been killed with the mace in his hand, but there were more and more Qin troops behind, as if they were endless.
"Capture the golden dog alive!"
"Catch Yan Yinshu!"
"Kill the female Allah general, seal the general!"
"Don't let the silver trick run away!"
As the soldiers around him fell one by one, Wanyan Yinshu had already retreated to the bottom of the city tower, and he looked in all directions, there was not much left of the Jurchen Erlang, and there were Qin Jun everywhere.
At this moment, suddenly a huge figure pounced on him and shouted: "Golden Dog takes his life!" ”
After finishing the silver technique, you can fix your eyes and take a look, a big man, tiger eyes and beard, his clothes and armor are stained with blood and turned black, he has a knife behind his back, and he is holding a water-milled iron Zen staff in his hand, and he will hit him in the face.
Wanyan Yinshu can be regarded as dead at this moment, shouting good, the mace raised the fire to block the sky, "boom" a loud sound, Wanyan Yinshu only felt as if Mount Tai pressed the top, both arms were numb, the tiger's mouth was cracked, and the green bricks under his feet were "jumping" and shattered.
The person who came was not a bystander, it was Luda, in order to avoid too much damage to the soldiers, the generals in Shangcheng were leading people to kill the soldiers, because Zhao Ta ordered that the Jurchens would not be surrendered to a single soldier, but those who wore military clothes would be killed, so they were almost killed, and they rushed here.
Ruda is a grandmaster at the moment, although he is also brave and brave, but he is always worse than Luda, after all, he has always been a general, which is better than Ruda's martial arts in addition to drinking wine and eating meat.
Just look at the Luda Zen staff sliding down, a dragon swinging its tail is used, and the silver technique can be hurriedly erected to block it, but Luda has a lot of strength, and he directly hit the stick unstable, and the rod is directly crooked.
Wanyan Yinshu was shocked, and he couldn't care about the stick at the moment, his body was busy jumping backwards, but he didn't want Luda to take advantage of a yaksha to explore the sea, the Zen staff smashed out, hitting his chest, and suddenly the treasure mirror was shattered, the armor was poked, he screamed, and when he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, mixed with fragments of internal organs, and spit out Luda's body.
Luda stared at the tiger and roared: "Death to the thief!" The sixty-two catties of water-milled iron Zen staff suddenly came out inch by inch, completely shattering Wanyan Yinshuke's chest, and when he looked at it again, he was already too dead to die anymore.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife behind his back, stepped forward and cut the head, and then shouted: "Allah will be dead, don't hurry up to kill the enemy, so go down to the city early to eat meat!" ”
When those soldiers heard this, they immediately gathered their strength and chased the remnants of the golden soldiers, which was another good kill......
In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and Yanjing City had been completely taken, and none of the Jurchen soldiers survived, and all of them were killed.
Zhao Ta ordered to clean up the battlefield, burn and bury the corpses, and do not ask the ordinary people who participated in the defense of the city, do not hold them accountable, and put up a list to calm the people.
Three days later, Yanjing City has been stabilized, after all, the golden soldiers here have not been occupied for a long time, and there is no way to operate, so there is no need to dig three feet into the ground to carry out any major clearance moves.
Moreover, there was no Jurchen living in Yanjing in the first place, and the people of Yanjing hated the Jin Kingdom to death, if there were Jurchens to hide, there was no need for Zhao Ta to send troops to find them, and the people would report it.
After taking Yanjing, the sixteen states of Yanyun were all restored, and Zhao Ta gave an order to Tokyo Zhongshumen, asking Liu Suiyun to announce the decree to the world and announce the results of the war to the public.
Then he began to reorganize the army in Yanjing, and only waited for the grain and grass and new ordnance to be transported in the rear, so he led the troops to continue north, stepping on the grassland, and pointing at Zhongjing!
