Chapter 267: A Terrible War

He saw that although the first wave of Mongol attacks was blocked, he had no intention of retreating, and he saw dust flying in the distance, and two more 10,000 troops approaching step by step. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Not far from the city, but he stopped moving, and a huge shield was raised in the front row to block the arrows. The soldiers behind them lined up and did not know what they were waiting for.

Situ Wen was puzzled, and looked into the distance, but saw that among the two teams of 10,000 people, two teams of strange-looking Mongolian dwarves suddenly appeared. They are all naked, and each of them is in a group of two, one holding a shovel and the other holding a round shield. The shield bearer raises his shield to shield the arrows, while the Mongolian dwarf with a shovel bends down to dig into the ground. More than 100 people excavated at the same time, and the speed was very fast, and it was already digging into the ground in a short time. Then the fish penetrated inside, and the first three or four people dug at the same time, and the people behind used round shields to send the floating earth out of the cave.

Situ Wen saw it from afar and knew that at least four groups of diggers were digging holes at the same time, but he didn't know where they would eventually dig near the city. He was worried that even if he wanted to send someone to intercept him, since he didn't know where the enemy was, he couldn't stop him.

At that moment, he had to ask people to put a lot of large vats against the wall in the city, and put them on the ground, so that people could listen to the sound, and they had to hear the direction of the underground digging, so that they could dig the hole and intercept the enemy.

After a short time, suddenly someone shouted under the tower in the north corner of the city, "There is a noise here!" and forty or fifty men were immediately summoned to dig a hole straight down from the city wall to intercept the enemy.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the two holes were connected. Several Mongolian dwarves were desperately digging holes, and the holes were dark, and they were all dark. Suddenly, the entrance of the cave opened, and he was pleasantly surprised, but he saw several soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and he was so shocked that he had no time to shout, but he was killed by a knife.

The Jin soldiers dragged the corpse aside, but lay in ambush on the side. The Mongolian dwarf in the back did not see the excavation in front, which was quite strange, and two people came to check it at the moment, and as soon as they showed their heads, they drank the knife and died. The defenders of the Jin State concocted the same method and killed three or four people in a row. Unexpectedly, this time the Mongolian dwarf learned to be obedient, and the fish rushed in, and the one in front was killed, and the one behind saw it and shouted. So he handed short knives, bows and crossbows and other weapons from the rear, and fought with the defenders of the Jin Kingdom in the cave.

The cave was narrow, and the Mongolian dwarf was naturally suitable, and the defenders of the Jin State inevitably suffered the loss of physical inconvenience. A short arrow was fired from a small crossbow of a Mongolian dwarf, and several people were killed or wounded. The people behind were frightened and retreated while fighting. The Mongolian dwarves not only dug holes, but they were also very brave when they started fighting. It went all the way to the vertical hole under the city.

The defenders were furious, threw down firewood and grass, and fired rockets. There was a fire in the cave, only the smell of human flesh was scorched, and the Mongolian dwarf screamed loudly, which was extremely miserable. Four or five Mongolian dwarves in front were burned to death, and several more were added in the back, desperately shoveling earth to extinguish the fire. The defenders of the city also had to throw down firewood, but unexpectedly, there were already Mongolian dwarf crossbowmen in ambush, and when they saw a figure at the entrance of the cave, there was a burst of crossbows. After shooting and wounding several people one after another, the rest did not dare to show their heads again, but threw firewood and grass down from a distance, and then lit torches and threw them. But as soon as the Mongolian dwarf below saw a fire bursting out, he immediately covered it with several shovels of dirt and extinguished the fire. The Mongol dwarfs kept coming in from behind, but they dug holes to the side and did not attack from the hole.

In the blink of an eye, the hole under the city became bigger and bigger, and gradually it could accommodate more than ten Mongolian dwarves to dig at the same time. The defenders were very anxious, and someone offered a plan at the moment, but they brought a few barrels of soybean oil, and cotton wool and other things, soaked and ignited again, and threw holes. The Mongolian dwarf was caught off guard, and the smoke in the cave was billowing, not to mention the fire, even the smoke would kill a few people.

When the defenders saw that this method had worked, they couldn't help but cheer. When he saw that the fire was burning in the cave, he thought that the Mongolian dwarves had been burned to death, so he ignored them.

Who knew that after a short time, I only heard the sound of digging a hole more than ten feet away from this hole.

The defenders were alarmed and hurriedly sent men to dig the hole. Unexpectedly, not only were there several holes dug under the city wall in the north of the city, but there were also Mongolian dwarf diggers in the south of the city and on the side of the main gate. Although the defenders blocked a few small holes, the enemy was hiding underground, and it was difficult to argue the position, so it was really impossible to defend against it.

Half an hour later, the Mongol dwarves had dug two large holes in two directions under the city. The small hole that was blocked after being discovered by the defenders was actually just a cover-up, aiming to attract the attention of the defenders.

I only heard the sudden sound of drums under the city, and the 20,000-strong team had slowly moved forward. Situ Wen knew that the enemy had launched a general attack, and immediately ordered everyone in the city to reinforce the city.

Suddenly, only two earth-shattering loud noises were heard, and the corner tower in the north of the city rose into the air, and the rubble splashed several miles away. But it was the Mongol dwarves who brought in thousands of catties of gunpowder and lit it. The loud explosion was so deafening that it blew two gaps in the city wall on the north side of the city and on the side of the main gate. Thousands of defenders were blown to a bloody pulp, and their corpses were scattered everywhere in terrible condition.

The Mongol brigade shouted for joy and rushed up like a tidal wave, and entered the city through two gaps. Situ Wen shouted: "The husband is loyal to the country, just today! People are in the city, and people are dead in the city!" Drawing his sword in his hand, he personally led three thousand personal guards to kill the gap on the side of the main gate. Encountering the Mongol forces in the ruined walls, thousands of people sacrificed their lives to fight. This battle was already a battle of life and death, and everyone was strenuous with their lives, knowing that as long as the city was broken, it would be slaughtered. It is to all the strong men in the city, all of them go to the city to fight, and fight to the death.

The gap in the corner tower in the north of the city was intercepted by the sixth and seventh junior brothers.

Above and below the city, there is a fight everywhere, wolf smoke is everywhere, and the smoke and dust are dense. Only corpses were killed all over the ground, and rivers of blood flowed.

Suddenly, in front of the gap on the side of the main entrance, a young man in white floated in. This young man is Ling Lingqi, he knows that although the Jin State is also the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, but now the threat of the Mongol Empire is greater, in fact, the Jin State has declined, and there is not much threat to the Great Song Dynasty, so he saw that the defenders of the Jin State were no longer good, so he killed the Mongolian army. Countless Mongol soldiers poured in along the gap, but as soon as they collided with the long knife he had snatched, before they could understand it, they were cut in two in an instant.

The gap under the collapse of the city wall is only more than ten zhang wide, and more than ten people can enter side by side. Wherever Ling Lingqi went, it was impermeable within a radius of one or two zhang. Coupled with the sharp long knife, the blocker was killed immediately, and he guarded the city alone, and for a while, he actually blocked the offensive of the Mongol army entering the city. In front of him, in a moment, a small mountain of corpses was piled up. The Mongolian elite soldiers who came later were stunned, and when they saw him in white clothes fluttering and majestic, they couldn't help but suspect that he was a celestial.

It's just that the drums behind him shook the sky, and even though he was frightened in his heart, he still sacrificed his life to kill him. Situ Wen was surrounded by dozens of disciples of the Situ family, supporting him with swords. Situ Wen also jumped into the defense. The Mongol soldiers continued to fall at the feet of the disciples of the Situ family, and they were killed and wounded.

At this time, thousands of defenders of the Jin Kingdom had regrouped, and under the leadership of several partial generals, they attacked from both sides. He even forced the Mongol front army that had entered the city out of the city. (To be continued.) )
