But the Mongol front army was unmoved, and the drums became louder and louder. Although several platforms were destroyed, most of them were still close to the city. Situ Wen's face turned pale, and he waved his hand again, and his lieutenant general Chuan ordered to go, transfer five hundred archers, and the arrows were wrapped with Liuhuang and other things, and ignited and shot at the enemy formation. The high platform is built by a giant tree, and it is most afraid of fire, once it hits the rocket, it suddenly bursts into flames and burns. Only a few loud booms were heard, and several high platforms were burned by rockets and collapsed immediately. More than a dozen were on fire, but they were desperately extinguished.

In the Mongolian rear army, five thousand crossbowmen suddenly appeared, all of them used crossbows, people lay on their backs and turned their crossbows together, and with a bang, the arrows shot out into the sky and fell into the city in an arc. This kind of foot tension crossbow is powerful and can reach far. Although it misses the head, as long as the arrow rain is dense, it is still extremely lethal.

I saw a rain of arrows flying in the sky, like meteors, all of them falling on the top of the city, or shooting far into the city. The defenders could not dodge, and many were hit by arrows. The five hundred archers were too dense to be on top of the city, and suffered particularly heavy casualties. In a volley of powerful crossbows, half of them fell to the ground with arrows.

The rocket offensive on the city slowed down slightly, and the Mongol siege army pushed closer again. At this time, there were more than 30 high platforms, close to the city wall, and from the high platform, an iron hook suddenly stretched out and put it on the battlement. The team of 100 people who followed behind the platform followed the wooden ladder on the high platform, first climbed the high platform, and then climbed into the city along the hook. The defenders of the city used spears to assassinate the approaching Mongol soldiers, but the sharpshooters on the high platform sent arrows, one arrow at a time, killing the Jin defenders who exposed the battlements one by one.

In a matter of moments, hundreds of Mongol soldiers had already stormed the city, and thousands more flocked to the city, continuing to ascend the city along the high platform.

Although Situ Wen saw that many of the enemy troops had gone up to the city, he was still fearless. The two white-clothed men behind him have been standing solemnly beside him, one is slightly fat, has a round face, is about twenty years old, but is the sixth junior brother Situ Long. The other person was thin, slightly taller, and looked no more than eighteen years old, but it was Situ Hu, the seventh junior brother.

Since the two of them finished their division three years ago, they bid farewell to their master Mei Shengsui and came to the border to join the army. After several wars, he has made great achievements, and his grade is not big, but now he is a partial general.

Situ Wen had a sneer on his face and said, "These Mongolian rabbit cubs, I don't know if they were raised by their parents, they are not afraid of death. Sixth junior brother, seventh junior brother, you take a hundred people up and send them back to their hometown. ”

Situ Hu said with a smile: "Why didn't the second senior brother say it earlier, the junior brother couldn't wait for a long time." He stretched out his sword from its sheath and rushed towards the place where the enemy had the most soldiers at the head of the city. Situ Long was more stable than him, but he went to assign people first, and a hundred disciples of the Situ family wearing soft armor were divided into two teams and killed in two directions, north and south.

Situ Hu is the close disciple of the master of the Situ family, and his swordsmanship has been quite true, although the sword qi technique has only been practiced to the third level, but he knows the truth of making up for the lack of skill with swordsmanship, so even if he encounters an opponent who is slightly stronger than him, he can defeat the enemy with skillful moves.

As soon as he entered the Mongol rebellion, he was like a tiger into the flock. The sword moves of the Situ family were in his hands, and once they were unfolded, they were like flowing water. Everywhere they passed, the Mongol soldiers were stabbed to death with a sword, and no one could stop them.

Situ Long led another group of disciples to attack Beicheng, and all the Mongol soldiers who stood in front of him were dead or alive. Around him were all the disciples of the Situ family dressed in white, and everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy. How could ordinary Mongol soldiers be the opponents of the disciples of the Situ family? Seeing that the Mongol soldiers were crowded at the head of Shicai City, most of them were annihilated after a short time, and some of them were forced to retreat to the battlements and fell down the city alive.

The Mongol generals who were supervising the battle under the city were furious and shouted the order to release arrows. It was only because there were more Mongolian soldiers entering the city, so the archers on the high platform did not dare to release arrows again, so as not to be injured by mistake. Seeing that the situation was not good at this moment, another rain of arrows was immediately fired. Although he also injured a lot of his own people by mistake, he didn't care about it.

The disciples of the Situ family were hit by arrows one after another, and only those with slightly higher martial arts either blocked with swords, or dodged by leaping vertically, avoiding the rain of arrows. The follow-up troops of the Mongols again attached themselves to the city, and this time they attacked the city, but they were originally given a death order, and they were never allowed to take a step back.

All of a sudden, the sound of killing shook the sky above and below the city. Countless corpses fell to the bottom of the city, and they were piled up into a small mountain. Situ Wen transferred more than 10,000 people to reinforce various places. And the towers were burned on the city, or destroyed by boulders. However, the Mongol army transferred hundreds of ladders and landed in the city at the same time. More than tens of thousands of people have been invested in the siege of the city, regardless of life and death, trampling corpses.

The two armies fought desperately, and everyone knew that at this time it was time for a crucial battle of life and death.

Ling Lingqi also saw the blood boiling, such a war scene is difficult to see in the era of hot weapons, in fact, it is more cruel than the era of hot weapons, and the mortality rate is higher.

Situ Wen sent his generals to guard all parts of the city. Use a cymbal hook to deal with the enemy's ladder, and once the hook is caught, several people push it hard, and the ladder will be pushed down. There were at least a dozen people on the ladder, all of whom fell down the city, killed or injured.

However, the cold arrows on the high platform are dangerous, and as long as the soldiers in the city accidentally show their heads, they will often wait for the arrows to die. Therefore, although many ladders were destroyed, Mongol soldiers continued to attack the city. Gradually, the city has become a melee situation, a group of Mongol soldiers, mixed with a group of Jin defenders. The Mongols have always been strong, and at least two Jin soldiers can fight against a Mongol soldier. Fortunately, it was a battle of defense, and after all, there were many soldiers in the city, so they had a slight advantage. If it is a confrontation in the plains, then the Jin country will have to suffer a big loss.

At this time, the Mongol army that landed in the city was just ordinary soldiers, far from being the opponent of the disciples of the Situ family. Once these 300 elites are filled, the situation will be reversed immediately. The morale of the defenders of the Jin State was greatly boosted, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering. In less than half an hour, the enemy who had ascended the city was cleared.

The Mongol generals under the city were heartbroken and angry. In the tent of the king of Mongolia, there was a decree that this city should not be broken today, and the army would never be withdrawn.

At this time, the high platforms were destroyed one after another, and there were less than a dozen left. And hundreds of ladders were also beaten to pieces. The general was furious, and sent another order to send another 20,000 troops to attack the city from both sides at the same time.

Situ Wen stood on top of the Dragon and Tiger Pass Tower, standing still. Although he is a disciple of the Situ family, he was already a general of the Jin Kingdom before he entered the Shimen, and he was familiar with the military book and battle strategy, otherwise how could he become the guard of the first pass of the Jin Kingdom?

He has been guarding this pass for six years, training soldiers with Sun Wu's method, and he can be regarded as the first elite of the Jin country with the Dragon and Tiger Pass defenders. With him here, the Mongol army would not be able to cross the border from here and invade the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

Today's battle was unprecedented, and the defenders of the city fought hard for days and suffered heavy casualties. Although there were originally 80,000 people, after a little more than a month, the number dropped to 40,000 or 50,000. But to confront 300,000 people, the number of victories and defeats is unpredictable, the only thing to do is to do your best and serve the country loyally. (To be continued.) )
