Chapter 359: The city is about to be broken, so arrive in time
Gangneung City, at this time the city defense was in jeopardy, after replacing the army of the king of the north, the Jin army launched a fierce attack on Gangneung City, trebuchets threw artillery fire in the city, and also caused heavy losses to the defenders of Gangneung City on the city wall.
There are less than 10,000 soldiers left in the entire Gangneung City, and most of the young men in Gangneung City are on the city wall, who are full of enthusiasm and only want to defend Gangneung City and prevent the Jin army from slaughtering the city.
They shed their blood on the walls and left their lives on them. There are nearly one million people in the entire Gangneung City, and there are three or four hundred thousand young and strong people. They hurried to the walls.
One group died, and another group died, and the walls of the entire Gangneung City were bleeding, and everyone had only one thought, that is, they must not let the Jin army attack the city.
After five days of attack, the Jin army also lost nearly 20,000 people, but compared to the loss of Jiangling City, it was negligible, and the defenders of Jiangling City lost more than 50,000 people.
Those young and strong people killed more than 100,000 people, they were almost blocking the Jin army outside the city with their lives, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as the Jin army, so they chose the method of ending up together, and several people, or even a dozen people, surrounded a Jin army soldier and directly pulled them down the city tower together.
Many others were killed by artillery fire on the city wall, and after five days of attacking, the gunpowder brought by the Jin army was almost exhausted, and even the gunpowder used in the fire was used to attack the city.
After all, the use of firearms still has great drawbacks, but bombarding the city wall with gunpowder has a chance for them to take the city, but the result is that the people and defenders of Gangneung City are united, and it is like an iron wall of copper city.
Zong Bi looked at the fierce battle wall in front of him, his eyes were about to split, and his whole person exuded a violent aura, and the tyranny in his eyes made him feel the urge to tear everyone in Jiangling City to pieces.
He has fought for so many years, and he has attacked I don't know how many cities, but it is the first time he has encountered such a bloody city. Or come across a city that is so difficult to capture.
The army of 100,000 was lost to less than 80,000, and the army sent by the king of the north was only 20,000 left.
What he couldn't believe the most was that just three days ago, he had sent the head of Hu Kui, the main reinforcement of the Yongle Army, to the city wall, and informed Yu Zhenhai, who was defending the city, that there would be no reinforcements to save them.
Unexpectedly, he not only did not let Yu Zhenhai surrender, but also made Yu Zhenhai have the heart of death, and even the people of the entire Jiangling City also had the heart of jade greed.
They were going to use their lives to bring them down, he gritted his teeth, full of powerlessness, but this time he sent 20,000 people to attack the city with all his might, and he also used all the gunpowder in his hand.
He must take Gangneung City today, and he does not hesitate to use all his hole cards.
As long as he captures Gangneung City, he can slowly rest, and when the supplies from the rear are delivered, he can take the entire Yongle Dynasty again.
On the city wall, artillery fire flew, and those young and strong people were blown to pieces, screaming again and again, but even so, all of them desperately rushed to the Jin army who climbed the city tower.
Even if there is only one hand and one leg left, they will pull the Jin army down the city wall together. It's just that as the Jin army attacked more and more soldiers, the artillery fire caused a huge suppression to them.
The walls of Gangneung City were about to be untenable, and everyone was physically and mentally exhausted after five days of high-intensity confrontation.
Seeing that there were several city walls, which had been climbed by the Jin army, a wave of despair surged in everyone's eyes, this time, they were afraid that they really couldn't hold it.
The combat effectiveness of the Jin army is too strong, as long as they increase the number of people on the city wall, even if there are more people on their side, it is impossible to drive them down.
At that time, as long as they opened the city gate, then Gangneung City would fall completely. Yu Zhenhai, who was fighting against a Jin army general, struggled to kill the other party back, looking at the Jin army that kept pouring up.
His face was full of despair, his eyes were red, and he sighed in his heart, it's over! This time, I am afraid that Jiangling City will really not be able to be saved, thinking that after the Jin army enters the city, it will definitely slaughter the city. His heart was throbbing.
He raised his knife and slashed at the Jin army general in front of him, and the two fought together, and Yu Zhenhai, who broke out, forced the Jin army general to retreat. But although he had the upper hand, he couldn't change the situation that Gangneung City was broken.
What he saw was that more and more Jin troops rushed to the city wall, and although the people and the defenders fought desperately, most of them were only slaughtered in front of the powerful Jin army.
It can be seen from the casualty and battle loss ratio in the past few days that if it weren't for the defense of the city, they would have let the Jin army be wiped out long ago.
The surrounding Gangneung people and defenders also knew that they were powerless, but none of them gave up, even if they fought to the last man, they had to defend the city in front of them.
Because, everyone knows that behind them are their relatives, compatriots, and hundreds of thousands of Gangneung people, and they have to make the last effort.
In desperation, they burst out with strong willpower, and they temporarily resisted the Jin army that rushed to the city wall, but it was only temporary. As long as the Jin army keeps them stable for a while, the city wall will be in their hands.
Just when the defenders and people of Gangneung were desperate, Zongbi's face was full of joy, thinking that Gangneung City would be broken soon. Suddenly, a whistling sound sounded from outside the city.
The sound came from behind the Jin army, and at the same time, nearly a hundred hot air balloons appeared in the air and came towards the Jin army camp, and the whistling sound fell into the Jin army's military formation.
Bang...... Bang...... A burst of explosions rang out in an instant, resounding throughout Gangneung City and the entire sky. The moment the Jin Army's military array bloomed, the Jin Army was suddenly blown up and cried to his father.
The formation was also in chaos, the dense explosions barely stopped, and on the city wall, the already desperate Jiangling defenders and civilians saw this scene, and a wave of astonishment swelled up on their faces.
But soon let ecstasy take their place, they knew that reinforcements were coming, no matter where the reinforcements came from, as long as they were slaughtering the Jin army, it meant that Gangneung City was saved.
Yu Zhenhai came back to his senses, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements are coming, kill the golden dog, we can't lose Jiangling City at the last moment!" ”
At the sound of his voice, the defenders and the people immediately cheered and rushed towards the Jin army, and they were ready to use their lives to knock the Jin army down the city wall again.
Even if the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army in front of them was so strong that they had no way to fight at all, they burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness when they saw hope.
In addition, the Jin army also discovered the shocking changes in the old nest, and the morale suddenly plummeted, and all the Jin troops who attacked the city wall were suddenly full of anxiety.
At the same time, only a trumpet sounded, which neither the Jin army, nor the common people, nor the defenders of Gangneung had ever heard, but this trumpet sound was rapid and high.
As soon as the horn sounded, the overwhelming shouts of killing suddenly covered up all the sounds, and from behind the Jin army, more than 100,000 people suddenly appeared.
The leader is holding a Mo knife, a knife is the first, he exudes a domineering momentum, and the sweat and blood horse king under him is heroic, and one person and one horse are like gods and demons from the nine heavens. That invisible power made the entire battlefield tremble.
"That's ...... People's Army! Yu Zhenhai said in shock. The KPA uniforms are unique and instantly recognizable.
On the Jin Jun's side, Zong Bi looked at the people's army rushing over, looked at the person and horse rushing in front, and instantly recognized the person on the horse, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief, and exclaimed:
"It's Yun Ze, how is it possible! How could he possibly come......"
When the surrounding Jin Army generals heard this, a wave of fear suddenly surged in their eyes, the name Yun Ze was a curse among them. Especially those who have suffered losses at the hands of Yun Ze.
"What about Aliku, why didn't he hold the rear...... Why did they come here......" Zong Bi said with some anger.
Looking at the surrounding army that was being bombarded by artillery fire, he picked up his gun and rushed towards Yun Ze's side. Now at this time, he has to face Yun Ze head-on. The soldiers of the Jin Army who were combed out behind him also followed Zong Bi towards Yunze.
Yun Ze took the lead, looking at the Jin army who greeted him, his eyes were full of coldness, and behind him were Gao Zhong and other generals of the People's Army, as well as Wang Yin and other generals of the Yongle Army.
It's not that Yun Ze doesn't want to grind slowly with the Jin army, if he really wants to grind slowly, the Jin army will definitely be wiped out, and the army in his hand will have the lowest casualties.
But when he arrived, he had already seen the crisis of Gangneung City, if he waited any longer, when the Jin army captured Gangneung City, it would be extremely difficult for him to destroy the Jin army again, and the casualties would also become great.
After all, if he came to attack the city, with the troops and weapons in his hands, he was confident that he would capture Gangneung, but the casualties during the siege would definitely be several times more than now, which he could not afford.
Not to mention, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangling City, once they fall into the hands of the Jin army, Yun Ze will fall into passivity regardless of whether he is saved or not, he can only choose to be tough with the Jin army.
Fortunately, in addition to the 50,000 cavalry of the People's Army in his hands, there were also 60,000 troops of the Yongle Dynasty.
Combined, the two sides are 110,000 cavalry. Yun Ze believes in the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, even if he does not have the 60,000 people of the Yongle Army, even if he relies on the 50,000 people on his side, he is confident enough to destroy the 100,000 people of the Jin Army.
Besides, after several days of siege, the Jin army was only afraid of heavy losses, and it would be good to have 80,000 people. With such a force, will he be jealous? The only thing that makes Yun Ze feel distressed is that I am afraid that there will be certain casualties this time.
This is what he doesn't want to see, any People's Army soldier is a baby bump on his hands.
Soon, the two sides got closer and closer, and after more than a dozen breaths, the two sides collided together in an instant.
