Before siege, Liu He had already made a clear division of labor. Wang Yanlong was responsible for leading the army from behind to cover the killing, taking the opportunity to grab the city gate, leaving the great general Hu'er to lead three thousand troops to defend at the city gate to prevent the Jurchens from escaping from then on; at the south gate, Wang Yanzhang and Xu Huang split up together. After the city gate was broken, Wang Yanzhang attacked the inner city, and Xu Huang was responsible for guarding the city gate to prevent the Jurchens from escaping from here.

At the north gate, Zhou Dewei and veteran Huang Zhong were two others. After the city was broken, Zhou Dewei attacked the inner city. Huang Zhong was responsible for guarding the city gate to prevent the Jurchens from escaping.

Only the power of the Xicheng Gate is relatively weak, and the two generals are Gao Xianzhi and Wang Xiaojie. However, it is relatively easy for Liu He to only give them a task of guarding the city gate and not allowing the enemy to escape.

In order to complete the task, Gao Xianzhi and Wang Xiaojie discussed and established defenses along the moat, and lay down crossbows. As long as the enemy rushed up, they would immediately be thousands of crossbows and shot them into hedgehogs.

Of course, even so, the pressure on the Xicheng Gate will definitely be greater than that of other city gates, because other city gates are directly opened from the outside to the inside. Even if someone escapes, it will definitely be only a small part. However, the Xicheng Gate has never been attacked, so the number of people who escape is naturally more than other city gates.

However, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 people in total, and at least half of them were annihilated by the Han army. If you remove the other city gates, there are only tens of thousands of people who come to the East City Gate. Although it is difficult to defend, it is not impossible to defend.

So Gao Xianzhi and Wang Xiaojie cooperated with each other, calmly responded to the challenge, and resolutely sniped the Jurchen soldiers who dared to rush over.

The most important part of this is naturally the crossbow arrows. The Han army soldiers were arranged in neat formations, picking up bows and placing arrows, and waiting for the battle. As long as the enemy dared to show their heads, they would immediately greet them with bows and arrows. With just two rounds of feather arrows, they had already shot three or four hundred Jurchens.

However, these Jurchen soldiers who were guarding the city gates and on the top of the city. When they heard that the city gates in the other three directions were all lost and the Han army had already attacked the inner city. When the Jurchen commander Murhazi was leading his army to resist to the death, they knew that the situation was hopeless, so they gave up on guards, opened the city gates, put down the suspension bridge and prepared to escape.

However, after walking out of the city gate, the nightmare had just begun. The Han army's crossbow arrows drilled into their bodies like poisonous snakes, devouring their lives, and discouraging them.

But the threat of death makes them crazy. Now moving forward is death, retreat is death, and retreat is death, and the probability of retreat is ten percent, but there is still a certain chance of moving forward.

So everyone rushed to the Xicheng Gate. They relied on their advantage of being crowded, blocking the Han army's crossbow arrows with their flesh and blood, and then rushed forward little by little.

Although the Han army's crossbow arrows were powerful, the city gate hole and suspension bridge were so wide in total, which also meant that there were only so many people killed at the same time. In addition, some of the Jurchens held shields and even rushed forward against the bodies of the people killed in front of them, which made the threat of the Han army's crossbow arrows smaller and smaller, and the killing was less and less.

What is especially fatal is that the Han army has not had many crossbow arrows. More than an hour has passed. Although the Han army killed two or three thousand Jurchen soldiers, six or seven out of ten crossbow arrows have been shot. The remaining feather arrows can kill hundreds of people, but now the Jurchens are still increasing. I believe that when their bows and arrows are used up, thousands of people will still rush over. Even if the Han army soldiers are in line, it will be difficult to stop the crazy impact of the Jurchens by then.

So now Gao Xianzhi and Wang Xiaojie are both frowning and thinking about solutions.

A moment later, Wang Xiaojie suddenly saw a lit up in his eyes and bowed to Gao Xianzhi and said, "General Gao, General Gao believes that our mission today is not to kill many people, but to ensure that no one escapes. The reason why the Jurchens are crazily coming here is simply because the road here is smooth. As long as we find ways to turn the road into a natural barrier and make them unable to pass, they will naturally have to find another way."

"The road to change into a natural barrier? This is a good idea." Gao Xianzhi, the chief general, nodded when he heard this and said with a smile: "Is the general's meaning? Breaking the suspension bridge and causing the Jurchens to lose hope?"

"Yes, we just want to take the opportunity to destroy the suspension bridge so that they cannot pass. As long as they cannot pass, they will lose hope and will naturally not rush towards here desperately. At that time, we will shoot at the remaining bows and arrows at a long distance, which will cause them panic. As long as the chaos is in progress, we will succeed." Wang Xiaojie continued Gao Xianzhi's words and said with a smile.

"General Wang is indeed a good idea," Gao Xianzhi praised it, and then said with a smile: "Before darkness, Your Majesty gave me two barrels of turmeric oil, and asked me to take it with me, saying that it is likely to be used at night. Originally, I didn't know what it meant, but now it seems that everything is in Your Majesty's clever plan. Haha, today we will use these two barrels of turmeric oil to make contributions."

"Tube oil? This is really great. It is said that this tincture oil will be in contact with fire. I believe it will be able to establish a magical power. Now it is blew with the west wind, which is the best time for us to set fire. Without further ado, let's take action immediately." Wang Xiaojie clapped his hands and laughed.

Gao Xianzhi nodded and immediately ordered the soldiers to carry the two barrels of turmeric oil over, then pour the turmeric oil on the suspension bridge, and then ignite the fire. In an instant, the flames boiled and rushed towards the city gate, swallowing the Jurchen soldiers on the suspension bridge.

"Ahhh..." The Jurchen soldiers who were devoured by the flames shouted in pain and jumped into the moat one after another. However, most of the Jurchens could not swim. Even if they could swim, they would not be able to break through An Jun's defense. They all drowned in the moat.

After a while, there was only a loud bang, the suspension bridge was burned out, and then it fell into the moat, which made the Jurchens completely desperate. Although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only turn around angrily and escape in the direction of other city gates.

However, at this time, too many people had gathered outside the city gate, and there were still people rushing from inside the city to outside the city, which led to the city gate being blocked by the Jurchens entering and leaving. The order was in chaos for a while. After a while, the Jurchens who had lost patience began to wave their weapons and slash at the tribesmen in front so that they could break out a passage and escape successfully.

If one person takes the lead, more people will follow suit. For a moment, the Jurchens killed each other and became completely in chaos.

At this moment, only a sharp sound of breaking through the air came, and the feather arrows of the Han army flew over again, attacking the escaped Jurchens from behind, which brought more sense of crisis to the Jurchens. In order to escape, they could only massacre other people even more crazily so that they could escape.
