All of a sudden, the city was in chaos, and smoke billowed away in both directions, east and south.

The Mongol army took advantage of the situation to climb the ladder, and the defenders of the city squinted their eyes and fought bloodily.

In just a few moments, dozens of Mongol soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and the situation was in an instant, and it was very critical!

Meng Ge couldn't help but be extremely excited when he saw that his brave soldiers had finally reached the top of the city, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Nan Luoxing's strategy really worked. ”

"The order was given, and the whole army accelerated the offensive. "Möngke is a good fighter, and he knows that this is a good opportunity to break the city, so he wants to take advantage of the situation and step up the attack.

The horn sounded again, and the Mongol soldiers, hearing the horn, quickened the pace of the attack.

The situation became more and more critical, but Wang Jian was not afraid, at this time, the yellow smoke gradually dissipated, and Ma Qian and Wang Anjie, who were in charge of the militia's reserved troops, arrived with all the militia and joined the escort army in the east and south respectively.

Wang Jian immediately ordered: "Ma Qian, you immediately lead your 10,000 militia to replace all the soldiers defending the city, sprinkle the tung oil under the corner of the wall on the ladder and ignite the tung oil to curb the enemy's offensive. ”

Ma Qian commanded: "Yes, General." ”

The militia led by Ma Qian heard the sound of fierce fighting in the city under the city, and thought that they were waiting under the city, and they couldn't hold it back for a long time.

The militia immediately took over the recesses of the walls and joined in the melee with the Mongol troops who had ascended the city.

Meng Ge watched the good situation suddenly disrupted by a team of reserved troops, and his heart couldn't help but turn from joy to sadness, clenching his fists and secretly thinking,

Unexpectedly, Wang Jian actually reserved tens of thousands of people under the city. Hey, he is worthy of being a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, and he should respond to all changes with the same. ”

Ma Qianming sprinkled the tung oil prepared in advance on the ladder and ignited the tung oil.

Immediately, the ladder was ablaze, and the Mongol soldiers below were stopped by the fire, and the attack was greatly reduced.

Taking advantage of the weakening of the offensive, the Song army stepped up its efforts to kill the Mongol soldiers on the city wall.

Meng Ke saw the burning ladder getting more and more nervous, and his fists clenched, so he shifted his gaze to the heavily armored army attacking the city gate.

The fire on the city tower is everywhere, still billowing smoke, and the sound of fighting is endless, for these people who are used to fighting on the battlefield, it is no longer painful, but Zongzheng is extremely uncomfortable.

The heavy armor army stormed the city gate with the door pile, the situation was critical, Wang Jian ordered people to pour the tung oil prepared in advance under the city gate, and then shot a few rockets to the bottom, the tung oil encountered the rocket and then ignited a fire, and the heavy armor army had no choice but to withdraw.

Meng Ge clenched his fists and sighed when he saw it.

The Song soldiers who had injured their eyes washed them with water, regained their eyesight and rushed back to the city one after another.

Thousands of troops were instantly added to the city wall, and after the Song army's bow and crossbow array recovered, the rain of arrows fell into the air again.

The Mongol offensive weakened, its morale was exhausted, and it suffered heavy casualties.

Meng Ge saw that the general trend had gone, and the forwards Wang Dechen and Minhan Nayan Baritu urged them to withdraw their troops, so they had to order the withdrawal of their troops.

The Mongol soldiers heard the clarion call to retreat and retreated one after another, and the Song army did not dare to go out of the city to pursue and kill.

Meng Ge withdrew to the camp and immediately convened a military aircraft conference.

Inside the tent, the furnace was blazing with purple flames.

All the generals above the rank of Minhan Nayan (Thousand Households) were silent.

Suddenly, Minhan Nayan Baritu walked out of his position and knelt down and said: "Great Khan, I persuaded the Great Khan to attack from the four gates together, and my proposal has caused countless casualties to my army, and I deserve to die." Please punish the Great Khan!"

Although Meng Ge suffered defeat, he never showed criticism in front of the generals, after all, he was the boss and the one who made the final decision.

Meng Ge personally helped Baritu to his feet and said to everyone: "If I lose the battle, I, as the commander, have the greatest responsibility. If damned, then Ben Khan deserves the most damned. ”

After hearing this, the generals hurriedly said: "Great Khan, the words are serious!"

"On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, Ben Khan wants the final victory, this siege, you have also seen, the effect of the four gates is still obvious, Baritu's suggestion is right, blame, we all underestimate Zhang Jian. Möngke looked depressed.

Wang Dechen stepped forward and said: "This person refuses to surrender and dares to kill the envoy we persuaded to surrender, he must have some ability, otherwise he would have abandoned the city and surrendered like other Song army guards." ”

"If the 'Heavenly Wing Guards' are still there, why should Ben Khan be so embarrassed!" Meng Ge suddenly remembered the famous 'Heavenly Wing Guards' who attacked the city back then, and suddenly felt more lost and sad.

Aktai said: "According to the spies' report, the supplies in Diaoyu City are sufficient, we surround Diaoyu City, and Wang Jian closes the city without fighting, and has the momentum to fight with us to the end, but our army is hindered by food and grass!"

Meng Ge said: "I will send one person back tonight, and order Ali Buge and Asutai to raise military rations, and in only ten days, the grain and grass will arrive, and there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass." ”

Aktai continued: "Our army has suffered heavy casualties in this siege, and it will take some time for the grain and grass to be delivered, so I suggest that the Great Khan stop the siege in the next few days, and wait for the army to rest and the grain and grass arrive, and then attack the city." ”

"Aktai, what you say is reasonable, just do as you say. Meng Ge agreed, a little upset, and said to a group of generals,

"You should think about a good way to break the enemy these days, and continue to attack the city as soon as the food and grass arrive. Today, Ben is tired, so let's go back first. Meng Ge obviously had some indescribable sense of loss, since the Second Western Crusade, how could this bloodthirsty man who had won many battles be so difficult now.

The generals withdrew from the tent one after another.

After everyone left, Meng Ge asked the attendant to pass Zhu Yunshi, and Zhu Yunshi came to Meng Ge's tent in a moment.

Meng Ge's expression was gloomy.

"You should have seen today's battle, right?" asked Möngke,

"Great sweat, I really see it. Zhu Yunshi replied,

"What do you think?" Kublai Khan looked at Zhu Yunshi, expecting her to have any new insights.

"Diaoyu City is built along the river and mountains, and the walls are high and solid, which can be described as a difficult city to attack. "Zhu Yunshi is a female streamer, and she is a foreign woman, so she naturally doesn't know much about the way of soldiers, but Meng Ge asked, and had to answer, so she had to state the objective things she saw.

"This, I know, Ben Khan wants to ask you if you have a plan to break the city. Möngke was a little displeased.

"I am a woman, and I don't know much about the siege. However, when Yun Shi was still in Tianzhu, he had heard of a book dedicated to explaining the method of attacking the fortified city, called "Wounded City Raiders", which was compiled by the Han people, and then went to Western countries, and still does not know where to go. ”

Meng Ge was very shocked after hearing this, and asked, "How do you know the book "Raiders of the Wounded City"?"

Zhu Yunshi was also secretly shocked when she heard Meng Ge's rhetorical question.

This "Wounded City Raider" is the masterpiece of the "Emperor" family of the four major gates of the "Emperor Xuantu", this book is based on the siege cases in history including the countries in the far regions of the West, specifically for the dangerous city that is difficult for the soldiers to break, discussing the law of siege, as well as the art of war and the essence of military layout, it is a rare book of soldiers, which once caused the robbery of the imperial family, and then disappeared for no reason, and then few people mentioned it, this time, Meng Ge and Zhu Yunshi seem to know, both sides can't help but be secretly curious.

For Meng Ge, the reason why he knew about the "Wounded City Raiders" was because of a mystery left by the ancestor Genghis Khan, which was hidden in the Mongolian family library, and the library was set up in the Mongolian forbidden land 'Eternal Life Pavilion', where only those who ascended the throne of the Khan could enter and obtain the information left by the ancestors from the library at will, and the library contained secrets unknown to the Mongols. After Meng Ke ascended the throne of Khan, he naturally inherited the documents and case files left by the first khan in the library.

According to the records of the case file, "Raiders of the Wounded City" is a book that opens the "Dragon Yinque", and the opening of the "Dragon Yinque" requires the collection of "qin, chess, calligraphy, painting and sword" five magic weapons, as for what the "Dragon Yinque" is, the case file does not describe it in detail, but there is a saying: "Those who get the dragon lead the que will win the world". Therefore, Genghis Khan launched two expeditions to the west in order to find these two magic weapons, and did not forget to continue the western expedition to recover these two treasures in the testament of later generations, so the Khan of Möngedon still continued to order Hulegu to go west for the third time, in order to find these two treasures, but he did not know that Zong Wei had already taken over the books and paintings from the old monks of Persia and transferred them to the hands of Zongzheng.

And the reason why Yun Shi knew such a book, it was because her mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and Zong Wei saved their lives with a wonderful rejuvenation technique, Zong Wei later took care of their mother and daughter for a while, Zhu Yunshi's mother accidentally saw such a book, but she didn't understand the text, and later Zong Wei explained the book in a general way, and her mother later told Zhu Yunshi, so Zhu Yunshi also knew a little about this book.

When Meng Ge heard what Zhu Yunshi said, he naturally couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yunshi told her how she learned about this book, and she naturally didn't dare to ask why Meng Ge knew about this book, but secretly buried her doubts in the bottom of her heart.

The five magic weapons that open the 'Dragon Yinque' are 'Feng Laoqin', 'Pangu Chessboard', 'Wounded City Raiders', 'BMW Wanlitu' and 'Five Elements Sword'. Now Mongolia already has the 'Feng Lao Qin' in his hands, and Zong Zheng has the 'Wounded City Raiders' and 'BMW Wanlitu' in his hands, as well as the Fire Sword and the Water Ice Sword in the Five Elements Sword, but he himself has no idea what these things do.

The sword used by Zong Wei was Jin Xinjian, and after he jumped off the cliff that day, Wo Kotai clearly said, 'You must see the corpse when you die, and you want to see the person when you live.' He sent many soldiers to search in the valley below the cliff, and found the Jin Xin Sword in addition to a few pieces of bloody clothes, so three of the Five Elements Sword have been found, and the other two of the 'Pangu Chessboard' and the Five Elements Sword are still missing.

Although Meng Ge knew the book "Raiders of the Wounded City", he did not know what the purpose of this book was, and now that he was broken by Zhu Yunshi, he couldn't help but urgently want to get this book to help him achieve immortal feats. Then he ordered Zhu Yunshi to say.

"Listen, you rush back to Helin tonight, three tasks, first, inform Asutai and order him to urge Ali Buge to raise military rations as soon as possible and escort them to the front line; second, tell Nan Luoxing about the battle situation here, if there is a good plan, convey it as soon as possible with the golden eagle of Juxian Pavilion; third, let the people of Juxian Pavilion pay attention to the book "Raiders of the Wounded City". ”

"Yes, Great Khan, the rhyme is gone. After saying that, he left the big tent and walked to the camp where Zongzheng was.
