There is a baffle at the top of the Jin soldier's rush, and the two archers are condescending, shooting arrows at the Ming soldiers in the city.

The Ming army was also firing, but it was difficult to hit through the baffle.

A large number of rockets were stuck on the rush, but the outer layer was covered with cowhide, and it was difficult to ignite for a while.

If you want to throw a four-pound earth-shattering thunder on the top of Linchong, it is not difficult for the thunder firefighters.

However, the two archers of the golden soldiers interfered, and there were spearmen who stabbed at the head of the city, in case the thunder fire soldier fell with an arrow, the earth-shattering thunder may fall on the head of the city and blow up his own people.

Therefore, when the Linchong march was halfway through, the Thunder Fire Soldiers had already made preparations.

They had long wooden poles and simple nets made of fine hemp rope. Put the Heaven-Shaking Thunder in the net pocket at the top of the long pole, and after lighting it, the long pole will press against the female wall and stretch out, and the shield hand will raise the shield to help the thunder fire guard block the arrows.

A golden soldier with a spear in his hand was already stabbing at the wall.

The golden soldiers in the back row have short soldiers in their hands, and as long as the distance is enough, they will jump directly onto the city wall.

"Ignition!"

A fire rope made of ramie quickly ignites the fuse of the earth-shattering thunder.

The long pole was pushed diagonally upwards by a thunderbolt with the female wall as the fulcrum, and the golden soldier's arrow was blocked by the Ming army's large shield soldiers.

The golden spearman was still stabbing when he saw the long pole reach out, and push it diagonally upwards and closer, over the rushing baffle to the top of their heads.

What is this?

The Golden Soldier Spearman stabbed sideways to make room for the melee armorers in the back row to enter the city.

"Get down!"

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the earth-shattering thunder hanging on the long pole exploded above the heads of the eight golden soldiers.

They were all wiped out on the spot, and no one survived.

The Ming troops who were close to Linchong all lay down on their stomachs, and even the big shield hand leaned against the wall to prevent being hit by the flying shrapnel.

"Ah...... My ass! ”

Someone still got hit, and after lying down, the ass suffered misfortune.

The thunder fire soldier who caused all this was fine, he hid his whole body behind the female wall, and pulled down with both hands to use the female wall as a fulcrum to fix the long pole.

"Come again, come again!"

As the squad leader shouted, another thunder firefighter had already hung up the sky-shattering thunder.

There are several floors of Linchong Lu bus, and the first floor can stand up to eight people. The eight people on the top floor were killed just now, and the Jin soldiers on the lower level could climb up at any time.

In fact, the lower-level Jin Bing was still wondering at this time.

They heard the terrifying explosions, and because the upper echelons of the gold soldiers died too simply, they did not let out any screams to alert their allies.

After more than ten seconds, there was finally a lower-level golden soldier who climbed curiously along the wooden ladder to the top floor.

The man's eyes were above the staircase, and in an instant he saw a pile of corpses, and the corpses were mutilated.

The eight golden soldiers killed in the explosion, except for two archers, were all dressed in double armor. But the Heaven-Shaking Thunder exploded at close range above their heads, and even if they weren't hit by shrapnel armor, their heads would be shattered by the force of the impact.

Leaning on the two closest people, even their heads are deformed.

"What's going on up there?" A general of the Jin Kingdom asked on the penultimate floor.

Jin Bing, who climbed up to check, subconsciously replied: "Die...... He's dead! ”

The general of the Jin State asked, "Who died?" ”

The golden soldier said, "All dead." ”

The conversation was abruptly interrupted, and I didn't know how to proceed.

Finally, the generals of the Jin Kingdom roared angrily: "Climb up and get to the city quickly!" ”

The lower-level Jin soldiers, who didn't know why, urged the Jin soldiers lying on the wooden ladder to move their positions quickly. But the golden soldier was frightened by the tragic situation of the eight corpses, his legs were weak and he couldn't move at all, and was soon dragged down by the friendly forces.

Another golden soldier climbed up, also lying on the wooden ladder and not moving, and then exclaimed: "Don't ...... Don't come up, the enemy knows how to spell! ”

"Hurry up and get to the city, and the cowardly will die!" The generals of the Jin Kingdom shouted angrily.

The golden soldier could only climb to the top floor, and then came up one after another, looking at the corpses around him and looking at each other.

"Ignition!"

The golden soldiers who climbed up one after another, saw the long pole hanging with iron bumps stretched over, although they didn't know what it was, but subconsciously shouted in horror: "Run!" ”

Several people rushed to the staircase at the same time, but only one person could pass through.

"Boom!"

There was another explosion, and no one survived at the top of Linchong again.

The general of the Jin Kingdom finally realized that something was wrong, trembling and climbing the stairs himself, and as soon as he poked his head out, he retracted and shouted in horror: "Retreat!" ”

Something similar happened on all Linchong Lu buses.

There were more than twenty teams of the elite of the Jin Kingdom hidden in the walls of Linchong and Xingnu, and they were bombed and retreated in panic.

Those Han and Bohai cannon fodder, who were already under attack and demoralized, saw that the elites of the Jin Kingdom were fleeing, so they fled with them.

"Hanging rope!"

The archers, already with sore arms, gritted their teeth and shot arrows at the fleeing enemy.

From the other end of the top of the wall, the men were urged by the officers to come and hang the baskets down.

Some of the men carried oil cans and torches to burn the enemy's various siege equipment.

Other people picked up arrows from under the city, and even carried stones into baskets, which were pulled by the people of the city to collect supplies.

The siege equipment built by the Jin soldiers for many days was burned by the Ming army.

Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Tart Lazy both had telescopes imitated by Yanshan Mansion, and they clearly witnessed several explosions.

"Do you want to attack the city?" Wan Yan asked lazily.

After Yan Zongbi also practiced Buddhism, and even after winning the battle, he would collect nearby Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures, and he said with a dry mouth: "Isn't the Ming army having the help of the Thunder God Bodhisattva?" ”

The gods of Buddhism and Taoism are absorbed from each other.

The Taoist god of thunder is integrated into Buddhism to become the protector of the Dharma, and his image is holding a drumstick in both hands, and many drum faces are arranged in a halo behind him.

Wanyan is lazy but much more materialistic: "Where did the thunder god Bodhisattva come from?" It's clear what kind of firearm it is! ”

Wanyan Zongbi forced himself to compose: "With this firearm, it is more difficult to attack the city than before. ”

"Withdraw the troops," Wanyan tart said lazily, "The armor soldiers sent out today have been frightened, and even the tart is broken." Tart Buye is the first warrior of the Bohai tribe, he died in the firearms of the Ming army, and the Bohai soldiers are afraid that no one will dare to attack the city again. Even if it is forcedly attacked, it will inevitably retreat quickly. ”

"Xingshi moved the crowd to come, and spent countless grains and grass, did he withdraw like this?" Wanyan Zongbi was unwilling, he nested in Shangjing all the year round, and there were few opportunities to lead troops alone.

"What else can you do if you don't withdraw?" Wan Yan asked lazily, "If you don't send elites to attack the city, you won't be able to attack it at all." sent an elite siege city, and the Ming army would use that firearm again. Even if it drags on for another month or two and the city wall is destroyed in a few places with artillery trucks, how can the Ming army attack the city with firearms? When the food and grass are exhausted, the whole army may be wiped out at that time! ”

After Yan Zongbi calmed down and thought about it repeatedly, but he always remembered the explosion picture in the telescope, he clenched his fists angrily and said: "Withdraw the troops together tonight, I will go back to Jinzhou, you will go back to Youzhou, and fight again when the food and grass are sufficient in the future!" ”

The two golden soldiers slowly retreated to the camp.

After Yan Zongbi turned back three times in one step, he looked forward to the Ming army going out of the city to chase and kill, and he could take the opportunity to win the field battle.

Then, the Ming army did not come at all.

Li Bao just sent some soldiers to clean up the battlefield with the people, waiting for tomorrow to continue the battle to defend the city.

Liu Cao also followed Wanyan to fight this time, and one of the Han soldiers under his command was also used as cannon fodder to attack the city.

After returning to the camp, Liu Cao called his cousin Liu Yi: "There is an order from above, all departments pack up their things and retreat overnight tonight." You go down and get ready. ”

Liu Yi did not immediately receive the order to leave, but said: "Brother, the firearms of the Ming army are becoming more and more powerful, and I am afraid that the Jin Kingdom will not last long." Shouldn't we ......?"

Liu Cao said: "When I return to Yanshan Mansion, I will immediately write a letter to Prince Zhu." ”

Liu Yi became happy at this time: "If the Jin people are defeated, they will definitely force all ethnic groups to move to Liaodong." At that time, there will be few people in the land of Youyan, and the Ming Dynasty will have to rely on our Liu family, otherwise Prince Zhu will not want to recruit troops in the north. ”

Liu Cao pondered: "It's just that this is not enough, you have to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and make great contributions in order to be reused by Prince Zhu." ”

"Why don't you finish assassinating Yan Zongwang?" Liu Yi suggested.

Liu Cao shook his head and said, "It's too risky to do the stabbing thing. If the two armies can fight, it is best to turn against each other before looking for opportunities. If there is no chance to defect before the battle, then wait for the main force of the Jin soldiers to leave, and then we will lead our troops to intercept and kill the immigrants of all ethnic groups. Not only can you grab the goods, but you can also cut some people's heads to make meritorious contributions. Especially at that time, Shi Liai was the strategist of Wanyan Zongwang. Prince Zhu cut off Shi Yan's ears, and he must have hated the Shi family to the core. ”

Liu Yi smiled: "Brother is really smart!" ”

……

Li Bao knew that the Jin people would withdraw their troops, but he didn't know when the other party would withdraw their troops.

He has been sending people to keep an eye on it, but the vicinity of the Jin camp is full of cavalry, and he does not let the Ming army's probe horses approach at all.

The light cavalry of the Ming army could only probe from a distance, and felt that the Jin camp seemed to be moving, and wanted to approach but was blocked by the Jin cavalry.

After paying more than a dozen light cavalry, it is still impossible to get accurate information.

It was not until dawn the next day that the Ming army approached the Jin camp and found that the Jin soldiers in the camp had withdrawn.

"Chase!"

Li Bao left 1,000 soldiers to defend, distributed the newly captured armor to the salt workers and peasants, and took the rest of the troops out of the city to pursue.

By boat, of course!

He didn't go after Wanyan Tart, who was further away, because the guy must be well guarded.

On the contrary, Wanyan Zongbi, who is closer to return, only needs to retreat to Jinzhou to be safe, and it will definitely be easier for Jin Bing to slack off on this road.

Passing through Juehua Island halfway, Li Bao also brought the garrison on the island and took a sea ship to ambush Jin Bing's return journey.

Wanyan Zongbi also prevented Li Bao from chasing and killing by boat, and he sent thousands of cavalry to explore the way.

The cavalry galloped fifty miles and reached an unknown river. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Ningyuan River, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was called Xingcheng River, but now there is no decent name.

Cavalry patrolled both sides of the river, and this was the most dangerous area for the withdrawal of the Jin troops.

Wanyan Zongbi led a large army and walked for two days, and the whole army crossed the river safely, and the vigilance was directly reduced by half.

On another day, the Jin soldiers crossed the Wuli River and the Lianshan River in Huludao City one after another, and Wanyan Zongbi completely relaxed his vigilance - Jinzhou City was a few dozen miles away, and the front was mostly smooth, and the passage became particularly wide, and the whole army did not need to be drawn into a long snake march.

There is no suitable place for the Ming army to set up an ambush!
